Foreword

Employment has a vital bearing on people's livelihoods. It is the fundamental

prerequisite and basic approach for people to improve their lives.

China has a population of nearly 1.3 billion, and is the most populous country

in the world. To solve the employment issue in China is a strenuous, arduous and

pressing task.

In view of the fundamental interests of its people, the Chinese government

recognizes the importance of the issue of employment. Based on the Constitution

of the People's Republic of China, the Labor Law of the People's Republic of China,

and other laws and regulations, the Chinese government has protected the

workers' right to employment, and adopted various policies and measures to

promote employment actively and steadily meet their needs for employment.

The Chinese government has explored and drawn on international

experiences and adapted them for use in the domestic situation, formulating and

implementing a number of proactive employment policies Currently, China has

established a market-oriented employment mechanism; largely solved the

problem of surplus enterprise personnel arising over the years under the planned

economy; and, in the course of economic development and economic

restructuring, expanded the employment scope continuously. As a result, the

employment structure has gradually been optimized; the avenues for employment

have been steadily broadened; the forms of employment have become more

flexible and the employment situation has been maintained basically stable.

On the principles of mutual respect, equality and mutual benefit, the Chinese

government has actively participated in international labor-related affairs. China

has ratified the Convention on the Minimum Age for Admission to Employment,

the Convention on Prohibition and Immediate Action for the Elimination of the

Worst Forms of Child Labor, the Convention Concerning Equal Remuneration for

Men and Women Workers for Work of Equal Value, the Employment Policy

Convention, and other international labor-related conventions. In the field of labor

and employment, China has carried out remarkably effective exchanges and

cooperation with the International Labor Organization, the United Nations

Development Program, the World Bank, the Asian Development Bank, and a

number of other international organizations and many countries.

I. Basic Employment Situation

In China, there is a large working-age population, while the average

educational level of the people is relatively low, resulting in a very prominent

problem of unemployment. This is primarily manifested in the co-existence of the

contradiction of the total volume of workforce supply and demand and the

contradiction of employment structure, in the simultaneous appearance of

increasing pressure on urban employment and acceleration of the shift of surplus

rural laborers to non-agricultural sectors, and in the intertwining of the

employment problem for new entrants to the workforce and that of the

reemployment for laid-off workers.
