Nanfang Daily, Nanfang Plus:

There's concern about employment of college graduates and young people. What measures will be adopted to boost youth employment? Thank you. 

Li Zhong:

It's important to promote youth employment, and I'd like to invite Mr. Song to share more information about the specific measures in this regard. 

Song Xin:

Thank you for your question. The employment of college graduates and other young people is a top priority in promoting employment. This year, the MOHRSS has worked with relevant departments to release a new package of employment policies to develop job opportunities, provide employment services and offer assistance for those facing employment difficulties. Going forward, we'll focus on efforts that offer employment services to unemployed college graduates, and intensify our endeavors to implement policies, facilitate job matching as well as improve abilities, so as to boost youth employment and entrepreneurship.

First, we will establish a real-name work ledger system. This initiative will focus on unemployed new college graduates, registered unemployed youth, and others to comprehensively gather personal information, job-seeking needs, and employment status. Simultaneously, the MOHRSS's website and other platforms have launched job-seeking registration mini-programs. Unemployed graduates can register through these programs and be incorporated into the real-name ledger.

Second, we will implement the "1131" concentrated service initiative. For unemployed youth in the real-name ledger, we will provide at least one policy briefing, one career guidance session, three job recommendations, and one skill training or internship opportunity to promote their swift employment.

Third, we will implement one-on-one assistance for those facing difficulties. For graduates from families living on subsistence allowances and poverty-alleviated households, disabled graduates, and young people facing prolonged unemployment, we will organize paired assistance. We will implement a "one person, one policy" approach, prioritizing guidance services, job recommendations, and training and internships for these individuals.

Fourth, we will conduct a series of targeted recruitment activities. Recently, we launched a special joint recruitment initiative for college graduates in large- and medium-sized cities. Following the National Day holiday, we plan to organize additional services, including the Golden Autumn Recruitment Month. Furthermore, local authorities will carry out a number of specialized, industry-specific, and regional recruitment drives. These efforts are aimed at promoting employment opportunities for college graduates and other young job seekers. Thank you!
