Aim is to create over 13m urban jobs this year
Print Edition
China aims to generate more than 13 million new urban jobs this year.
Premier Li Keqiang said yesterday that the minimal target is 11 million, but the government will work hard to reach the bigger goal. Over the past five years, more than 66 million of new urban jobs have been created, said Li, adding that employment has always been important not only for each family but for governments at all levels.
At least 3 million new rural migrant workers will seek jobs in cities in 2018.
“It is the responsibility of the government to provide stable job opportunities for these people,” the premier said.
China has around 280 million rural migrant workers in cities, Li noted, adding that this year, there will be a record 8.2 million college graduates, 5 million graduates from secondary vocational schools and nearly 1 million demobilized military personnel and workers affected by overcapacity cuts.
“We must work very hard to ensure there will be jobs for these people,” said Li.
