Employment, Pivotal to the People's Wellbeing
China is a large developing country with a population of over 1.3 billion. Because of its big population size, employment remains the biggest challenge China faces in its efforts to improve the people’s wellbeing. Since the 18th CPC National Congress, a series of policies promoting job creation and entrepreneurship have been launched, leading to a steady improvement in the overall jobs picture, with 65 million new jobs added.
The report to the 19th CPC National Congress highlighted the pivotal importance of employment to the wellbeing of the people. It called for more proactive measures to promote job creation, achieve fuller employment and create better jobs. These measures include expanding vocational skill training programs, tackling structural unemployment, creating jobs by encouraging business startups, providing extensive public employment services, opening channels for college graduates, other young people, and migrant rural workers to find jobs or start their own businesses, and removing institutional barriers that block mobility of labor and talent to ensure everyone has a chance of career success through hard work.
