Employment is the foundation of people's livelihood. The employment of college graduates and other young people is related to people's livelihood, economic development, and the future of the country. The expected number of graduates from ordinary universities nationwide in 2025 is 12.22 million, an increase of 430000 compared to the same period last year. In order to promote youth employment to a greater extent, this year's government work report clearly proposes to optimize employment and entrepreneurship services, and broaden employment and entrepreneurship channels for young people such as college graduates. Several representatives and committee members pointed out in interviews with reporters from the Rule of Law Daily that in order to do a good job in employment and entrepreneurship for young people such as college graduates, it is necessary to identify the pain points, bottlenecks, and difficulties in youth employment, improve relevant laws and regulations in a targeted manner, strengthen policy support, and do a good job in difficult assistance and rights protection, so that young people can find employment early and parents can feel at ease early. Eliminating educational discrimination: In recent years, the widespread problem of "educational discrimination" in China's job market has become increasingly prominent. Gan Huatian, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and a professor at West China Hospital of Sichuan University, pointed out that in reality, many people have been influenced to some extent by the "only school background theory" and have experienced "educational discrimination". Some employers excessively emphasize hard requirements such as "prestigious school background" and "first degree" during the recruitment process, resulting in many students who graduated from ordinary universities repeatedly encountering obstacles when applying for jobs, due to their undergraduate degree coming from an unknown school. Li Yingxin, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and Vice President of the Fourth Intermediate People's Court of Beijing, learned during research that some employers engage in "educational discrimination" during recruitment, resulting in many graduates facing the "first educational threshold". The government work report points out that all types of employment discrimination must be resolutely corrected. Li Yingxin suggests timely improvement of laws and regulations, clarification of the basic meaning of employment thresholds, establishment of legal responsibilities for creators and remedies for victims, clarification and refinement of administrative penalty clauses, and elimination of the phenomenon of "first degree threshold" from the source. Gan Huatian pointed out that we should abandon educational discrimination, break the employment concept of "only relying on prestigious schools", and create a more fair employment environment. It is recommended to improve laws and regulations, strengthen institutional constraints, especially prohibit employers from setting educational restrictions unrelated to job responsibilities in recruitment, establish a complaint and reporting mechanism for educational discrimination, and strengthen the rectification of employment discrimination behavior. At the same time, we will guide the whole society to establish a talent evaluation system and regulatory guarantee mechanism based on abilities, reverse the employment orientation of "only prestigious schools" and "only academic qualifications", and establish an employment mechanism guided by morality and abilities, and aimed at job requirements. Improving the training program: Some people cannot find suitable jobs, and some employers cannot recruit suitable people - how to solve the "structural contradictions" in youth employment has attracted much attention. In recent years, there has been a certain mismatch between the demand for talent in emerging industries and the vocational education training mechanism. On the one hand, emerging industries such as artificial intelligence and big data are rapidly developing, leading to a sharp increase in demand for high skilled talents. On the other hand, vocational education cannot fully adapt to the actual needs of emerging industries in terms of curriculum design, practical training conditions, and teaching staff Zhang Yunkai, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and Vice President of Hebei Vocational and Technical College of Transportation, suggested strengthening the connection between vocational education and emerging industries, and optimizing the vocational education training mechanism. Shang Wenjiang, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and dean of the Business School of China University of Political Science and Law, pointed out that to solve the structural employment contradiction and open up a Xintiandi of youth employment, colleges and universities need to continuously improve the training program. Each student has a different foundation, and what they want to do after graduation is also different. Therefore, we can only take the most common needs and try to narrow the gap between what we learn in school and what we need in our work. Of course, it is impossible to achieve complete synchronization between what schools teach and what society needs, but at least the gap cannot widen. "Xie Ziqing, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and Vice President of Hunan Normal University, suggested that schools should further optimize and adjust their subject and major settings to closely meet the needs of economic and social development; Intensify the reform of education and teaching, while consolidating students' theoretical knowledge, make efforts to cultivate their ability to overcome difficulties, innovate and start businesses, and actively embrace the era of artificial intelligence. Encourage rural development. With the booming development of the digital economy, new forms of employment such as online broadcasters have become an important choice for many young people. The representative committee suggested further strengthening policy support for youth employment, leveraging the advantages of the digital economy, and assisting the youth group in finding high-quality employment. Yu Xing'an, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and researcher of the Chinese Academy of Personnel Sciences, noted that research shows that innovative, technologically skilled new occupations are most popular with young people, and nearly 80% of new career young people achieve employment and entrepreneurship through short video live broadcast platforms. Relying on emerging digital platforms to attract more young people to achieve diversified and precise employment and entrepreneurship is a new and effective way to solve contemporary youth employment problems. Yu Xing'an suggested that relevant departments should formulate relevant preferential policies to encourage college students to use their knowledge advantages, information advantages, and technological advantages to explore short video employment and entrepreneurship opportunities. By providing services through short videos and live streaming, and adopting methods such as technology exchange, fan accumulation, and capital introduction, we aim to build monetization scenarios such as knowledge payment and e-commerce marketing, and achieve revenue generation and entrepreneurship. In recent years, with the implementation of the rural revitalization strategy, more and more college students have returned to their hometowns to start businesses and become "new farmers". Data shows that through initiatives such as the "Nongyun Action", Pinduoduo has driven over 300000 new farmers to return home and start businesses, helping more than 20 million agricultural producers participate in the digital economy. At the same time, more than 2 million flexible employment opportunities have been created through models such as "buying groceries more", promoting employment in the community's "capillaries". Wang Yucheng, deputy to the National People's Congress and secretary of the party branch and director of the village committee of Anjiyu Village, Zhejiang Province, believes that the development of youth entering the countryside can be one of the important ways to solve the employment of college graduates. Wang Yucheng suggested that the government should provide corresponding encouragement policies for young people to develop in rural areas, provide element guarantees in land, funds, indicators, etc., and at the same time increase the proportion of young cadres in the "two committees" of townships and villages. Actively attract a group of outstanding young people with management experience, university education experience, and work experience to become leaders in returning to their hometowns and revitalizing villages, and create a good atmosphere in the country where talents are needed and have great potential in rural areas.
