Zhao Yongfeng, deputy to Shanghai Municipal People’s Congress and director of Shanghai human resources and Social Security Bureau, said in an interview with Shanghai Securities News on January 22 that the overall idea of stabilizing employment in Shanghai in 2022 is still to adhere to the general tone of seeking progress while maintaining stability and strengthen the priority orientation and strategy of employment. Among the five key objectives put forward at the economic work conference of the Shanghai municipal Party committee, two involve employment: more than 550000 new jobs and an urban survey unemployment rate of less than 5%. In addition, “helping 8000 long-term unemployed youth achieve employment and entrepreneurship” and “supporting the training of 10000 new apprentices in enterprises” will still be included in the practical projects of the Shanghai municipal government.
Zhao Yongfeng said that under the expectation of more uncertainty in the economic situation and employment situation, this year, Shanghai human resources and Social Security Bureau will focus on promoting the following key work: first, make every effort to ensure that the main body of the market supports employment. Focus on the practical difficulties and policy needs of the development of market entities, increase the innovation of policies to aid enterprises and stabilize posts, improve the accuracy and effectiveness, ensure the enjoyment of all the benefits and effectively reduce the burden of market entities. We will carry out in-depth enterprise visits and implement the employment guarantee for key industries and regions in Shanghai.
Second, further improve the employment policy system. Take the legislative revision of Several Provisions on promoting employment in Shanghai as an opportunity to further integrate, sort out and integrate employment policies, and strengthen breaking legislation and abolishing reform.
The third is to firmly grasp the employment bottom line of key groups such as college graduates, unemployed, people with employment difficulties and the disabled. Take the employment of college graduates as the top priority to ensure that the implementation rate of graduation remains at the forefront of the country. On the basis of the flexible employment policy, the new employment internship policy and the special action of ” Renrenle Commercial Group Co.Ltd(002336) ” industry launched last year, we should continue to introduce targeted assistance measures for different key groups, such as the new employment assistance policy and the new employment policy for disabled workers.
Fourth, support flexible employment through multiple channels. Flexible employment is still an important channel to absorb employment. We should implement the flexible employment policy through many channels, strengthen basic research and dynamic monitoring, and implement the real name system management as soon as possible.
Fifth, strengthen entrepreneurship and training, and form a “two wheel drive” to promote employment. We will continue to build an entrepreneurship service system for all types of entrepreneurial groups and covering the whole process of entrepreneurship, study and implement the detailed rules for encouraging entrepreneurship to promote employment upgrading, and enhance the multiplier effect of entrepreneurship to promote employment. Carry out vocational skills training on a large scale to ensure that the main task indicators of skills improvement action are not reduced, and the overall quality of skills training, especially the training of high skilled talents, is significantly improved.
Sixth, make every effort to prevent and resolve the risk of unemployment. Labor relations contradictions will remain high this year. For key industries affected by the epidemic, education and training, real estate and other fields, we should strengthen dynamic monitoring and early warning to prevent the risk of large-scale unemployment.
