People's Daily Online, Beijing, February 27 (Bo Chendi)At present, when coordinating epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development, an urgent task is to stabilize employment. On the 23rd, Xi Jinping emphasized at the deployment meeting on coordinating the prevention and control of the new coronavirus epidemic and economic and social development that we must comprehensively strengthen measures to stabilize employment, implement employment priority policies, adjust policy intensity according to changes in the employment situation, and simultaneously reduce burdens, stabilize jobs, and expand employment.
How to stabilize employment during the epidemic prevention and control period? Where should efforts be made to ensure the employment of college graduates? The People's Daily Online Forum on Strengthening the Country conducted an exclusive interview with Li Changan, a professor at the w88 casino of Public Administration at the w88 casino, and Tang Jun, secretary-general of the Social Policy Research Center of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.
Online recruitment helps graduates find employment
It is understood that the number of college graduates in 2020 will reach 8.74 million, a record high. Spring recruitment is the peak application period for college graduates in previous years. Recently, five departments including the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security issued a notice suspending on-site recruitment activities for all types of college graduates and encouraging colleges and employers to use the Internet to connect supply and demand.
In order to reduce the adverse impact of the epidemic on the employment of fresh graduates, colleges and universities have taken measures to move job fairs online. For example, Tsinghua University and Peking University have recently launched online spring recruitment, establishing communication channels between employers and graduates through live broadcasts; the Admissions and Employment Office of Southwest Petroleum University has built an online cloud platform to help employers and graduates complete resume writing, resume screening, and online presentations online.
Strong Country Forum: How to promote the employment of college graduates? What suggestions are there for the employment of college graduates in Hubei that have been severely affected by the epidemic?
Li Changan: Employment is the first priority for college graduates. Now is the peak period for fresh graduates to find jobs and apply for jobs, but the pace is affected by the epidemic, and targeted policies need to be adopted to deal with it. First, at this stage, online recruitment and online interviews can be used to shift recruitment activities from offline to online. Second, in the past, spring was the peak period for campus recruitment, and the time and deadlines for interviews, contract signing, etc. could be appropriately extended based on the actual situation. Third, at present, the epidemic has little impact on the Internet economy, which can provide more employment or entrepreneurial opportunities for college students in related fields.
For areas with severe epidemics, some targeted policies can be introduced. For example, setting up more public welfare positions, implementing staggered recruitment and examinations according to regional conditions, and easing the employment situation of college graduates in areas severely affected by the epidemic.
Tang Jun: Recently, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security has proposed to encourage online interviews and signing contracts, but there is no specific solution for some procedures that need to be completed offline, such as stamping. Therefore, how to implement online recruitment and contract signing requires relevant departments to introduce relevant measures as soon as possible.
Take multiple measures to expand employment of migrant workers
Migrant workers are one of the key employment groups in my country and one of the main forces returning to work. According to Xinhua News Agency, there are about 172.7 million migrant workers in my country and about 115.7 million local migrant workers. At the most critical stage of epidemic prevention and control, it is particularly important to ensure that migrant workers can return to work safely and orderly. Recently, various regions have successively carried out work to ensure the return of migrant workers to work, arranging special cars, trains, and planes for "returning to the city" to open up the road to return to work.
Strong Country Forum: Stabilizing employment is the first of the "six stability". At present, in what aspects should efforts be made to stabilize employment?
Li Changan: We must do a good job in employment of migrant workers. Affected by the epidemic prevention and control, many migrant workers are now locked at home and unable to get out, making mobility difficult, leading to the dilemma of companies that are operating unable to recruit people and those who want to work outside unable to get out. The human resources and social security departments have recently introduced corresponding policies for migrant workers to return to work, such as adopting point-to-point, one-stop direct transportation services to transport migrant workers out. In addition, the current recruitment information has stagnated, and village cadres can provide more employment information to migrant workers. The most fundamental thing is to balance epidemic prevention and control with recruitment. While doing a good job in prevention and control, work should be resumed as soon as possible where conditions permit, so that migrant workers can be employed as soon as possible.
