While accelerating the development of modern service industry, Shanghai has always insisted on developing advanced manufacturing industry and implementing the "two-wheel drive" of secondary and tertiary industries to the city's economy. Economic development drives the demand for talents. According to the employment trend of Shanghai University graduates in Shanghai last year, modern service industry and advanced manufacturing industry ranked first and second, accounting for 24.69% and 19.07% respectively.
Last year, there were 4,605 college graduates with flexible employment in Shanghai, accounting for 3.4% of the total number of graduates, nearly 2,000 more than in 2006. This shows that graduates' employment forms are diversified, and the proportion of choosing self-employment and freelance is increasing.
Self-employment has become a new landscape for college students' employment. By the end of last year, in the past three years, there were 740 scientific and technological entrepreneurship application projects for college students in this city, and 252 projects were approved; The total amount of funds for college students' scientific and technological entrepreneurship projects registered by industry and commerce exceeds 654.38+billion yuan, with students' self-raised funds of 67.632 million yuan and fund support of 35.33438+0 million yuan.
According to the analysis of employment guidance experts, there are two main reasons for the increase in flexible employment. First, the employment situation of college students is more severe. If graduates can't find the ideal position for a while, choosing flexible employment is also a "new way out". Secondly, people's ideas are updating. Some young people no longer understand employment as "signing a contract with a company", "going to work at a specified time" and "getting paid on time every month", but prefer an unconstrained, freer or more challenging way of working. Their choices are also widely recognized in the family and society. Experts predict that the number of flexible employees among college graduates will continue to grow in the next few years. ;
