What are the challenges facing the gradual stabilization of the employment situation?
Employment is the biggest livelihood. Since the beginning of this year, the state has placed employment at the top of the "six guarantees" and "six guarantees", and has intensified the implementation of the employment priority policy. Zhang Jinan said that employment has gradually stabilized.
According to the data of Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, the number of newly-increased urban employment has rebounded from 390,000 in February to/kloc-0.000 million in recent months. In the first half of the year, a total of 5.64 million people were added, completing 63% of the annual targets and tasks.
According to the survey, the unemployment rate is around 6%. The unemployment rate in February was 6.2%, the highest in recent years. In the second quarter, it dropped month by month, reaching 5.7% in June, which was lower than the control target.
"It is not easy for the employment situation to gradually stabilize and be better than expected." Zhang Jinan said, "At present, there are still many uncertainties in stabilizing employment." Zhang Jinan emphasized that this year, affected by the epidemic, the market demand of college graduates declined, recruitment was postponed, job hunting was restricted, and the level of youth unemployment increased. With the college graduates entering the market in July and August, the employment of key groups will face new pressure.
In addition, the economic development and external environment are still facing certain uncertainties in the second half of the year, and the employment of migrant workers is vulnerable to economic fluctuations, so we must always attach great importance to it.
What measures have been taken to ensure and stabilize employment by all means?
Reduce the burden, stabilize jobs, and expand employment ... Faced with the impact of the epidemic, various regions and departments have continuously strengthened policy supply and introduced a series of policy measures in a timely manner.
Zhang Jinan said that these policies can be summarized in five aspects: stabilizing posts, expanding channels, upgrading skills, promoting matching and grasping the bottom line.
First, stabilize jobs, reduce the burden on enterprises and stabilize existing jobs through policies such as "reducing burdens and making up for them". In the first half of the year, * * * reduced and exempted the three social security expenses of enterprise pension, unemployment and work injury by 576.9 billion yuan, deferred the payment of the three social security expenses by 43/kloc-0.0 billion yuan, and returned the unemployment insurance benefits by 63.6 billion yuan. These "real money" directly flowing to market players have played a real role in helping enterprises tide over difficulties and stabilize their jobs.
The second is to expand channels and support stable employment through macro policies such as finance and currency; Give priority to supporting investment projects and industrial enterprises that attract more jobs; Accelerate the release of entrepreneurial innovation to drive employment potential and promote the vigorous development of flexible employment.
The third is to improve workers' professional skills and help them find jobs. In-depth implementation of vocational skills upgrading actions, free online skills training for 100 days, with more than120,000 person-times. Expand the scope of replacing training with work, support enterprises to stabilize their posts through training, and carry out special training for key groups such as migrant workers and millions of young people.
The fourth is to promote matching and strive to promote the employment of workers through targeted employment services.
The fifth is to grasp the bottom line and comprehensively grasp the bottom line of employment for people with difficulties. Strengthen assistance to people with employment difficulties in cities and towns, make full use of all kinds of public welfare posts, and ensure that zero-employment families are dynamically cleared.
How to ensure the employment of key groups?
Zhang Jinan said, doing a good job in the employment of laid-off workers, college graduates, migrant workers and other key groups is the top priority to stabilize and guarantee employment.
Regarding the employment of laid-off workers, Zhang Jinan emphasized that the key point is to unblock the channels for seeking help, comprehensively promote the use of online unemployment registration and processing platforms, and promptly accept and solve them. For registered unemployed people, we will provide basic public employment services free of charge, actively implement policies such as rent reduction, tax incentives and business guarantee loans, and help them find jobs and start businesses through multiple channels.
At present, college graduates are stepping into the society, but some graduates have not settled down yet. In this regard, Zhang Jinan said that efforts will be made to broaden employment channels, encourage enterprises to expand the scale of absorption, expand the scale of grassroots employment, expand the scale of further education and expand the scale of training and internship. At the same time, we will carry out special actions for employment and entrepreneurship, provide uninterrupted services and take various measures to promote graduates' employment as soon as possible.
In order to further stabilize the employment of migrant workers, Zhang Jinan said that it is necessary to strengthen employment services, vocational training and rights protection, and promote employment outside the home and employment nearby. In particular, it is necessary to do a good job in the employment of poor laborers by setting up a file, giving priority to organizing migrant workers, giving priority to skills training, giving priority to providing and retaining jobs, giving priority to implementing subsidy policies, and giving priority to helping people with employment difficulties, so as to fully stabilize the employment places of poor laborers.
