On November 28, Suzhou Municipality issued the "Notice of the Municipal Government on Printing and Distributing the Administrative Measures for Talent Settlement in Suzhou", lowering the threshold for talent settlement and preparing to implement it on January 1, 2024.
Compared with the previous file, there are three main adjustments:
First, the scope of "settlement before employment" will be further expanded to include bachelor's degree, intermediate professional titles and technicians.
In the requirements for doctoral, master's and undergraduate degrees, the requirements are full-time, and now full-time is no longer required, that is, three books and self-examination books, as long as the age is met, you can settle down.
*: Released by Suzhou Human Resources and Social SecuritySecond, the period of social security contributions is shortened and the age is relaxed.
The social security payment period and age of college degree talents are relaxed: if they are under the age of 35, the social security payment time will be reduced from 6 months to 1 month;For those who have paid social security for a continuous period of not less than 6 months, the age requirement will be relaxed to 45 years old.
In line with the city's introduction of skilled talents shortage (type of work) catalogue of vocational skill level ** (senior workers) social security payment period and age relaxation: the age condition is relaxed from 35 years old to 40 years old, and the continuous social security payment time is reduced from 6 months to 3 months.
*: Released by Suzhou Human Resources and Social SecurityThird, the cumulative recognition of social security payment in the Yangtze River Delta.
The period for paying social insurance for urban employees in the three provinces and one city in the Yangtze River Delta region (except Suzhou City) within 12 months before the application for settlement can be calculated cumulatively when the applicant talents settle down, and the relevant payment period can be regarded as continuous payment in Suzhou City, but in the month of application for settlement, he shall be employed in Suzhou City and pay social insurance for urban employees in accordance with the law.
Many cities in the Yangtze River Delta have begun to implement this.
Why did Suzhou open the mode of grabbing people, in fact, before Suzhou, many central cities relaxed their settlement this year and carried out a new round of grabbing people.
A few days ago, Nanjing also relaxed the settlement of points. Before Nanjing, according to Jiemian News, 17 cities have introduced new household registration policies, increasing the weight and grabbing people.
Among them, Zhengzhou and Shenyang basically have zero threshold, and Qingdao can settle down by renting a house, which is basically zero threshold.
Megacities are desperately scrambling for people.
In addition, Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces have also greatly liberalized settlement this year, Zhejiang has lifted the settlement restrictions except for Hangzhou urban areas, and Jiangsu has relaxed the settlement restrictions outside the urban areas of Nanjing and Suzhou.
Although there are still reservations, it is the general trend to significantly lower the threshold for settlement below the first-tier cities under the official requirements.
Over the past few years, ** has been constantly emphasized:
The restrictions on urban settlement with a permanent population of less than 3 million in urban areas will be completely lifted, and the standards for urban settlement of non-local and local agricultural migrants will be equal. The conditions for settlement in Type I cities with a permanent population of 3 million to 5 million in urban areas have been fully relaxed. Improve the points settlement policy for megacities with a permanent population of more than 5 million in urban areas.
Especially in 2022, the "14th Five-Year Plan" New Urbanization Implementation Plan issued by the state clearly stated:
By 2025, the urbanization rate of the permanent resident population will increase steadily, the urbanization rate of the registered population will increase significantly, and the gap between the urbanization rate of the registered population and the urbanization rate of the permanent population will be significantly narrowed.
It is necessary to markedly increase the urbanization rate of the registered population, and the meaning is very clear, and speed up the transfer of rural household registration to urban household registration.
Therefore, we found that Sichuan, Guizhou, Heilongjiang, Jiangxi, Jilin, Yunnan, Qinghai, Ningxia, Inner Mongolia, Hainan, Guangxi, Jiangsu, Shandong, and Henan have all proposed to open the threshold for settlement in all regions except major cities.
In addition, Kunming, Shijiazhuang, Nanchang, Yinchuan, Fuzhou, Jinan, and Dalian have opened zero thresholds for settlement, and Qingdao has almost zero thresholds. The threshold for settlement in Xi'an, Wuhan, Chengdu, Chongqing and other cities has also been lowered to the minimum.
Suzhou, which is not very competitive in terms of population, may be able to enjoy the demographic dividend in the past under the background of continuous population growth in the country.
However, now that the times have changed, the population has peaked, even high-level cities, need to start grabbing people in person, and Suzhou, which is not strong in population competitiveness, can be indifferent.
In the era of crazy growth of central cities, Shenzhen and Guangzhou both had an annual population increase of 500,000 or 600,000, and Chengdu, Hangzhou, Xi'an, Wuhan and other cities had a population increase of 300,000 or 400,000.
In the past 10 years, most of the annual increments in Suzhou have only tens of thousands, and the best two years have increased by more than 200,000 in 2014 and 2016, respectively, and only tens of thousands in other years.
*: According to the data of the Suzhou Municipal Bureau of Statistics, the permanent population of Suzhou increased by 228 in the ten years from 2010 to 202020,000 is considered decent, much better than Nanjing's increment of 1.31 million, but compared with Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Xi'an, Zhengzhou, Hangzhou, Chongqing, and Changsha, it is much inferior.
In 2021, when the country's population growth hit a new low, Suzhou's permanent population increased by 880,000 people, ranking 17th in the mainland.
In the context of the country's population peaking and decreasing by 850,000 last year, Suzhou increased by 6320,000 people, ranking 15th in terms of increment.
Incremental rankings aren't bad, and they're not very good.
Data: From the changes in population increment in the past two years, the statistical bureaus of various cities can see that under the end of the demographic dividend, Suzhou's population increment cannot stop the trend, and it is getting less and less.
The most important thing is that people who are better than you in terms of demographic competitiveness have come out to grab people under the end of the demographic dividend.
That's the reality.
What's the use of robbing people
Whenever it comes to robbing people, backstage readers can't help but ask, what's the use of robbing so many people?
Not to mention that the most valuable thing in the 21st century is talent, even if it is not talent, grabbing the ordinary population is also of great benefit to the development of the city.
China's urban development is dominated by policies, and the tilt of policies is directly related to population, especially urban and urban population.
Urban population is the only criterion for delineating super-large, extra-large, Type I large cities, Type II large cities, medium cities, Type I small cities, and Type II small cities.
At the same time, the urban population is also the threshold for promoting the qualification of affordable housing construction.
On August 25, the executive meeting deliberated and adopted the "Guiding Opinions on the Planning and Construction of Affordable Housing" (hereinafter referred to as Document No. 14), which opened the prelude to a new round of housing reform in China, that is, the establishment of the dual-track system of commercial housing and affordable housing in the future.
Document No. 14 clearly mentions that in order to prevent the phenomenon of "going big and fast" and blind construction, "Document No. 14" emphasizes prudence and orderliness, construction according to needs, doing one's best, and doing what one can do. "Support large cities with a permanent population of more than 3 million in urban areas to take the lead in exploring and practicing, cities with conditions should accelerate their progress, and those that do not have the conditions should do a good job in policy and project reserves. ”
In other words, cities with an urban population of more than 3 million are encouraged to explore, and other cities are not required. Cities with an urban population of more than 3 million, that is, megacities, megacities and Type I cities.
The urban population is one of the qualifications for whether each city can theoretically have the threshold for subway declaration.
In 2018, the declaration threshold for subway and light rail was raised
The general public financial budget revenue of the city applying for the construction of the subway should be more than 30 billion yuan, the regional GDP should be more than 300 billion yuan, and the permanent population of the urban area should be more than 3 million. To guide the orderly development of light rail, the general public financial budget revenue of the city applying for the construction of light rail should be more than 15 billion yuan, the regional GDP should be more than 150 billion yuan, and the permanent population of the urban area should be more than 1.5 million. The initial passenger traffic intensity of the proposed subway and light rail lines shall not be less than 0. per kilometer per day70,000 person-times, 040,000 person-times, and the long-term passenger flow scale reached more than 30,000 person-times and more than 10,000 person-times in one-way peak hours respectively.
*:* official website Previously, the management made it clear that it would promote the transformation of public resources from the allocation of urban administrative levels to the allocation of population size according to actual service management.
This means that the size of the population in the future not only determines the area of residential construction land that the city can obtain, but also has a direct relationship with the public resources (such as rail transit, education, medical care, etc.), policy dividends and titles that the city can obtain.
Although Suzhou had a permanent population of more than 10 million as early as 2010, it has never been a megacity due to the administrative structure of Suzhou Industrial Park.
When I wrote about Suzhou before this number, I said that Suzhou had two difficult intentions:
First, as a city with a GDP of 2 trillion yuan and the third industrial city in the country, it still does not have its own airport.
Second, as a city with a permanent population of more than 10 million, it is not a megacity designated by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development.
Data: Municipal statistical bureausThe second difficulty is to calm down, and finally in September this year, because the urban and rural classification of all the community neighborhood committees in the five streets under the jurisdiction of Suzhou Industrial Park was upgraded from "121" to "111". That is, it has been upgraded from the town center area to the main urban area.
Under this adjustment, the official "Suzhou Release" of Suzhou disclosed:
According to the statistical caliber of this adjustment, based on the permanent population data released by the seventh national population census in 2020, the permanent population of Suzhou urban area is 512510,000 people.
This leap directly allowed Suzhou to obtain three permissions:
First, apply for the qualifications of a national metropolitan area.
In September last year, the state issued a document clearly emphasizing:
Metropolitan areas are mainly concentrated in areas with economic development advantages, and it is necessary to fully consider the development foundation and development potential, and gradually cultivate them by relying on super-large cities or large cities with strong radiation driving capacity under the premise of mature conditions. It is not possible to cross the development stage and promote the construction of the metropolitan area without the conditions.
*: The meaning of this passage is that the metropolitan area cannot be flooded, and it cannot be developed beyond the cycle, and some weak provincial capitals and capital cities should not join in the fun. For example, the metropolitan areas of Lanzhou, Yinchuan, Xining, Guiyang, Nanning, Urumqi, Hohhot, Shijiazhuang and other cities are likely to run aground.
Subsequent approvals will only be given to super-large cities or large cities with strong radiation driving capacity.
Second, the qualifications for the transformation of urban villages.
The new era and new tasks are clearly emphasized in the "Guiding Opinions on Actively and Steadily Promoting the Transformation of Urban Villages in Super and Mega Cities" deliberated and adopted at the National Standing Committee meeting in July this year.
The document clarifies the scope of cities, megacities and megacities to be transformed into urban villages.
Therefore, the more population inflow, not only means a more abundant labor force and talent pool, but also brings more consumption power and promotes urban economic development. At the same time, it can also help cities to obtain more policy resources for themselves.
That's why cities are so happy to grab people.
