Companies encouraged to reward ability, diligence and high outputChinese State-owned enterprises should play a leading role in improving the treatment of skilled workers, especially highly skilled talent, a senior official said on Monday.On Thursday, the general offices of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and State Council jointly released a guideline calling for more incentives for skilled workers by raising their political status, incomes and social benefits.China has a working population of 776 million, of which only 165 million are skilled, and a mere 47 million are "highly skilled", according to Tang Tao, deputy minister of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security."That is a truly serious imbalance between demand and supply in the labor market," he said on Monday.The ministry attributed the shortage in the talent supply mainly to low income, unsatisfactory welfare benefits and poor social status associated with skilled positions."The State-owned enterprises, especially those directly under the central government, should take the lead in improving the treatment of technical workers," Tang said."We are now talking with the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission about that. In addition, we are communicating with the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, hoping that non-State-owned enterprises can increase skilled workers' benefits."According to the guideline, State-owned enterprises' gross payrolls should lean toward highly skilled workers, and average salary increases shouldn't be lower than those for administrative staff.According to Xinhua News Agency, in some job fairs in Guangdong and Fujian provinces, salaries as high as 20,000 yuan ($3,200) a month are on offer, but qualified technicians are simply not available.As for increasing all skilled workers' benefits, the guideline encouraged companies to establish salary systems that can reflect job value, personal ability and work performance. It also advised employers to subsidize complementary allowances for technicians.It called for companies to guarantee that workers with higher skills, greater diligence and greater output receive better rewards."Front-line skilled workers are fresh troops for the Made in China 2025 strategy," Tang said. "They can make high-quality products and provide good related services."The national strategy is characterized by a switch from low-end manufacturing to more value-added production, with a focus on emerging industries. That calls for more highly skilled industrial workers.Yan Jinghua, vice-president of All-China Federation of Trade Unions, thought well-qualified and adequate skilled workers had a positive effect on technical innovation."There were a total of 607,000 national patents obtained by workers around China from 2013 to 2017. And 15 technological achievements of front-line technicians have won the National Science and Technology Progress Awards in recent years," he said. custom bar braceletcustom sports braceletscustom logo wristbandsde securite pour personne ageeembossed wristbandscolorfilled wristbandsembossed printed wristbandsdual layer wristbands
NPC deputies, CPPCC members help to resolve issues for publicSuggestions and proposals from the country's top legislature and the top political advisory body have made great contributions in solving problems that mostly related to people's lives in 2017, such as better bike-sharing regulations, senior officials said.Liu Xiaoming, vice-minister of transport, said in a news briefing organized by the State Council Information Office on Friday that the development and the regulation of shared bicycles is one topic that drew the most attention from deputies of the National People's Congress and members of Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference last year.In the past year, we received a total of 14 suggestions and proposals themed on improving and better regulating the bike-sharing business. Many of them are of great value, Liu said.He said that bike-sharing, appearing as a new norm in 2015, saw robust development in the past two years and has boomed nationwide. But it has also led to challenges to urban management, such as congested city sidewalks.Many of the suggestions and proposals focus on properly controlling the number of bikes put into the market, more regulated shared-bicycle parking and stricter and comprehensive management of users' deposits.Liu said that in order to better collect information on the issue, the ministry has held a handful of seminars on improving shared bicycle businesses and invited corporate leaders and experts in the field to discuss the issues.In August, the State Council issued guidelines to regulate bike-sharing services, making clear a number of regulations in bike-sharing development. Liu said the guidelines were drafted based on advice and input from the deputies and public opinions.He said the suggestions and proposals have also contributed to improving ride-sharing businesses. So far, more specified and tailored regulating measures on ride-sharing business have taken place in 200 cities across the country.In the past five years, the Ministry of Transport has dealt with a total of 3,603 suggestions and proposals, and the satisfaction rate from lawmakers and political advisers reached 99.2 percent, Liu said.Zhang Feng, spokesman of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology who also attended Friday's news briefing, said those suggestions and proposals contributed to the implementation of the Made in China 2025strategy last year.Last year, we managed to draft and issue a total of 11 supporting guidelines for the 'Made in China 2025' strategy through suggestions and proposals, he said.The State Council's executive meeting on Wednesday noted that in the past five years, 58,773 suggestions and proposals were handled by the State Council. In 2017, the State Council dealt with 7,471 suggestions, or 89.4 of the year's total; and 3,665 proposals, or 87 percent of the [email protected]?????????????????
