Inner Mongolia releases 2012-25 employment master plan
Projections are that by the end of the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-25), more than 1 million new jobs will be created in cities and towns in North China's Inner Mongolia autonomous region, while the registered urban unemployment rate will be controlled to within 5 percent.
The estimates were contained in the Employment Promotion Plan in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region During the 14th Five-Year Plan Period, announced at a recent news conference held by the news office of the region's government.
The plan is divided into 11 chapters and 40 sections, involving areas concerned with remedying structural employment, giving full play to the stimulus from entrepreneurship and improving risk prevention and control capabilities.
It reportedly utilizes 17 major employment indicators and identifies eight key tasks from 2021 to 2025.
Meanwhile, the plan puts forward safeguard measures in five areas: implementing planning responsibilities, adhering to administrative protocols according to the law and strengthening capital guarantees.
According to Wang Lin, director of the employment service center of the Inner Mongolia Department of Human Resources and Social Security, a great deal of progress will be made in the period covered by the plan.
Wang said that by the end of 2025, Inner Mongolia will help 650,000 university students get jobs, achieve re-employment of 250,000 urban unemployed people, procure positions for 250,000 people with difficulties in finding jobs and help 12 million transfer from jobs as farmers and herdsmen.
It is expected that subsidized vocational skills training will be carried out at 1.25 million person-times, with the total number of highly skilled workers in the autonomous region reaching 880,000.
