Reporter: On the issue of people's livelihood. Employment is the greatest livelihood of the people, and the employment of young people, especially college graduates, has received widespread attention in the past two years. This year's "** work report" put forward the target of more than 12 million new urban jobs, this year's employment pressure is still relatively large, what are the considerations for setting this goal? Will this goal be successfully achieved this year? Thank you.
Huang Shouhong: Thank you for your question, employment is the biggest livelihood of the people, not only the "great man of the country", but also a major personal event.
In recent years, we have attached great importance to employment work and taken a series of measures, and this year's "Work Report" has given more prominence to the priority orientation of employment and formulated a series of measures. First of all, from the point of view of orientation, this year's "** work report" will set the expected target of urban employment at more than 12 million people, we should pay attention to the "above", last year was "about 12 million people", this year is "above", which reflects the party and the best employment work strength, determination and clear policy orientation.
In order to achieve the employment goal, especially to ensure the employment of young people and college graduates, the report put forward a series of policy measures, which can be summarized in three aspects: First, increase policy support. In addition to macroeconomic policies, the "Report" requires that fiscal and monetary policies should be strengthened this year to support employment, and more policies should be introduced that are conducive to stabilizing expectations, growth, and employment. At the same time, special employment promotion policies have also been strengthened, such as the return of unemployment insurance to stabilize jobs, special loans for job stabilization and expansion, and employment and social security subsidies.
The second is to increase support for enterprises in key industries and key groups. The report calls for strengthening support for enterprises in industries with large employment capacity, and increasing assistance for key groups such as college graduates. At the same time, the "Report" also makes arrangements for fair employment and the protection of rights and interests that are of concern to the society.
The third is to strengthen vocational skills training. In our country, there is great employment pressure and structural contradictions, and in many industries, fields, and places, there are both problems of people not doing work, and there are also problems of no people doing work. Now there is a shortage of talents in many industries and fields, such as the talent gap in the manufacturing field of 30 million people, and then for example, the elderly care staff, the potential talent demand of more than 10 million, now only more than 300,000, there are elderly people at home, especially the disabled elderly families have a deep experience, now it is difficult to find a good nursing staff, skilled, nursing experience is difficult to find. There are also medical and nursing staff in hospitals, there are more than 5 million ** in our country, and there will be an increase of 300,000 people every year, but the number of ** per 1,000 population is only 37 people, developed countries are generally 8-15 people, we are also lacking. Behind these shortages, our employment potential is reflected, so it is critical to take measures to match our labor supply with demand, including the employability skills, professions and abilities of workers to meet demand. The report proposes to adapt to the needs of talents in the fields of advanced manufacturing, modern services, and elderly care, and strengthen vocational skills training, through the implementation of these policies, which can not only alleviate the current employment pressure, but also improve the quality of workers and meet the needs of high-skilled talents needed for economic development.
On the whole, there is indeed a lot of pressure to stabilize employment this year, and at the same time, there is also great potential, and we must fully release these potentials. This year's employment situation is sure to be good. Thank you.
