Report urges better deal for city migrant farmers
CHINA will make more efforts to eliminate employment policies that discriminate against migrant farmers working in cities to ensure they get fair treatment, a Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security report has said.
The report was given to lawmakers at the 18th session of the Standing Committee of the 11th National People's Congress, which began on Monday and ends tomorrow.
Relevant authorities have been directed to improve the work environment and establish a standardized and open human resources market, the report said yesterday.
The report revealed that measures, including increasing labor-intensive and service-sector jobs, have been adopted to give migrant workers more job opportunities.
It also said China will boost modern agriculture and speed up the urbanization of rural towns. China will also pay subsidies to enterprises that do not cut jobs. There are 157 million farmers working in cities in China, which has a population of 1.3 billion.
Migrant farmers in cities usually receive meager pay, often less than urbanites doing the same job.
According to the report, the Ministry of Public Security, the National Development and Reform Commission and the human resources ministry are working on advancing reform of the household registration system, known as hukou.
Authorities will work to lift restrictions on household registration in small and medium cities and townships to allow migrant farmers to enjoy the same rights as urban residents.
The report said governments in Shanghai, Chongqing, Chengdu and Shenzhen have begun to issue resident permits to migrant farmers to ensure fair treatment to them over employment, social security and schooling.
