China Implements Employment-First Strategy To Promote High-Quality Employment

According to PANews, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council have issued guidelines on implementing an employment-first strategy to promote high-quality and sufficient employment. The guidelines emphasize the importance of preventing and mitigating major risks in the employment sector. A comprehensive statistical monitoring system for high-quality and sufficient employment will be established, along with a job survey system to conduct timely evaluations of employment quality. The guidelines also call for the improvement of mechanisms to prevent and resolve large-scale unemployment risks, including enhanced monitoring, policy reserves, and emergency response measures. Regions with the necessary conditions may set up employment risk reserve funds to effectively address significant risks in the employment sector. Additionally, the guidelines highlight the need to proactively address the impact of rapidly developing emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence, on employment.
