Regarding the employment plan for 2024, Yundong stated that the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security will further emphasize the priority orientation of employment, accelerate the improvement of high-quality and full employment promotion mechanisms, and strengthen the stability of the employment trend. One is to highlight policy coordination more prominently. Promote the simultaneous evaluation of employment impact through the introduction of non economic policies, and enhance the driving force of economic and social development employment. Improve the support system for fiscal subsidies, tax incentives, financial support, social security, etc., and unleash the benefits of policies to promote employment. The second is to more prominently explore job opportunities. Establish a sound employment industry collaborative linkage system, launch advanced manufacturing to promote employment, expand employment opportunities in digital economy, green economy, silver economy, and other industries, increase support for private enterprises and small and micro enterprises with strong employment capabilities, and promote the extension of employment services for key enterprises to small and medium-sized enterprises. The third is to highlight entrepreneurship as a driving force. Improve the employment security system driven by entrepreneurship, create a chain service system such as guaranteed loans, tax and fee reductions, and venue arrangements, hold entrepreneurial activities, and promote the standardization of the gig market. The fourth is to highlight key groups more prominently. Strengthen employment support for college graduates and other young people, expand employment opportunities, and build a service system that connects inside and outside the school. Strengthen employment assistance for poverty-stricken populations and older rural laborers, deepen labor cooperation, strengthen labor brands, and build a coordinated employment pattern between urban and rural areas. Strengthen assistance to those facing employment difficulties, improve the employment assistance system, and ensure that the bottom line of employment is secure and accurate. The fifth is to highlight service matching more. Establish a sound public service system, strengthen digital empowerment and grassroots governance, launch a national employment public service platform, create "doorstep" employment service stations, and carry out "10+N" employment service activities to increase market heat.
