THE Chinese government yesterday issued a paper on its human resources, highlighting the country's policies to cope with employment pressures and the lack of "high-level innovative talents."
The paper says China's 1.3 billion population was "a vast reservoir of human resources," and "actively developing human resources, bringing into full play the potential ability and value of each individual and promoting the people's all-round development" is a significant aim.
China has a labor force of more than 1 billion people, 112 million more than in 2000, and the number of employees approached 780 million.
Compulsory nine-year education was made universal throughout the country in 2000, and illiteracy among people between the ages of 20 and 50 basically eliminated, it says.
By the end of 2009, the average schooling of people above 15 years old had reached nearly 8.9 years, while that of the majority of the working population was 9.5 years, of which 9.9 percent had received higher education, it says.
The paper says "people having professional knowledge or special skills who contribute to society through creative work are highly regarded in China." By the end of 2008, "the high-quality labor force" had reached 114 million.
It says the average disposable income of urban residents increased from less than 100 yuan (US$14.77) in 1949 to 15,781 yuan in 2008, and the average net income of rural residents increased from 44 yuan in 1949 to 4,761 yuan in 2008.
The government strives to help urban and rural workers enhance their overall qualities and gradually expands employment, it says.
From 2005 to 2009, more than 50 million new jobs were offered in cities, and nearly 45 million surplus rural workers transferred to non-agricultural sectors.
