Nanming district prioritizes employment and entrepreneurship in 2020

In 2020, to overcome the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic on employment and entrepreneurship, Nanming district in Guiyang, the capital of Southwest China's Guizhou province, made every effort to ensure the stability of the district's employment situation.

The district issued a work plan for stabilizing and ensuring employment. It increased the publicity and implementation of employment internship subsidies and social security subsidies for enterprises.

By adopting measures such as lowering social insurance rates or deferring the payment of corporate social insurance premiums, Nanming reduced enterprises' labor costs and encouraged enterprises to actively employ workers.
