Inthe2019governmentworkreport,the“EmploymentFirst”policywasplacedonthemacropolicylevelforthefirsttime,andwaslistedasoneofthethreemacro-controlpoliciesalongwithfiscalpolicyandmonetarypolicy.Thereportalsoproposedthatthepro-employmentpoliciesshouldbefullyimplemented,andmultiplemeasuresshouldbetakentostabilizeandexpandemployment. In2020,theimportanceofemploymentwasevenmoreprominentcharacterizedbythatitwasgiventoppriorityamongothermeasurestoensure “StabilityontheSixFrontsandSecurityintheSixAreas”.Thegovernment work report called for comprehensively strengthening the pro-employment policies, doingeverything possible to stabilize and expand employment, and strengthening employment support for key industriesandkeygroups. In the following two years, the pro-employment policies continued to be strengthened. The 2021governmentworkreportcalledforfacilitatingemploymentofkeygroupssuchascollegegraduates,retiredsoldiers,andmigrantworkers,improvingtheemploymentassistancepoliciesforthedisabled,zero-employmentunemployed,supportingandstandardizingthedevelopmentofnewemploymentforms,etc.InOctober2022,thereportofthe20thNationalCongressofCPCclearlyproposedtoimplementtheemployment first strategy, strengthen the pro-employment policies, improve the employment promotionmechanism,andfacilitatehigh-qualityfullemployment. InJuly2023,themeetingofthePoliticalBureauofCPCCentralCommitteeemphasizedthatthemeasurestoensurepeople'slivelihoodshouldbeenhancedandstabilizingemploymentshouldberegardedasoneofthenationalstrategiesandbeconsideredfromeverypossibleangle. (2)Employmentpromotionpoliciesareintroducedintensivelyinmanyplaces.InApril2023,theGeneralOfficeoftheStateCouncilissuedthe“NoticeonOptimizingandAdjustingEmploymentStabilizationPoliciesandMeasuresandGoingAllouttoPromoteDevelopmentandImprovePeople'sLivelihood”clearlyproposingtoexpandchannelstopromoteemploymentandentrepreneurshipofyoungpeoplesuchascollegegraduates.Themeasuresincludeencouragingenterprisestocreatejobsandencouragingandguidingbasiclevelemployment;supportingstate-ownedenterprisestoexpandrecruitment;stabilizingjobsingovernmentagenciesandpublicinstitutions,etc.TheninJuly,provincialormunicipalpoliciesandmeasurestopromoteemploymentofyoungpeoplewereintroducedinGuangdong,Shanghai,Jiangsu,Anhui,Liaoning,Chongqing,Fujian,Sichuan,Hunan,Yunnan,Hainan,Gansuandotherplaces.Fromtheperspectiveofkeypolicymeasures,manyplaceshavementionedexpandingpolicypostsandputtingmoreemphasisonbasiclevelemploymentandemploymentinstate-ownedenterprises,governmentagenciesandpublicinstitutions.Forexample,ShaanxiProvinceissuedthe“SixMeasurestoSupporttheEmployment andStart-ups ofCollege Graduates”, expandingthe numberofpolicyposts instate-ownedenterprisesandpublicinstitutionsto85,500;HumanResourcesandSocialSecurityDepartmentofJiangsuplanstocompletetherecruitmentof110,000policypostsbytheendofAugust;whileexpandingmarketjobs,Hunanhasmadeeveryefforttodevelopandimplementpolicyjobsandhassortedoutatotalof149,600policyjobs.

Inlinewiththenewtrendofindustrialrestructuring,newbusinessformsandnewdemandshaveemerged,andnewemploymentformsandnewoccupationshaveflourished.Thisyear's“GovernmentWorkReport”pointedoutthatnewemploymentformsandflexibleemploymenthavebecomeimportantwaysofincreasingemploymentandincome.AccordingtothesurveydataoftheNationalBureauofStatistics,in2021,Chinahadabout200millionpeopleinflexibleemployment.Theemergingnewemploymentformshavebecomeapartofthejobmarketthatcannotbeunderestimated,andhavealsobecomeanimportantemploymentchoiceespeciallyfortheyoungpeople. Thenewemploymentformisrelativelyfreefromthelimitoftimeandspacebutthatalsodeterminesthistypeofoccupationhashigherandwiderdemandforprofessionalknowledgeandskills.Theriseofthisworkstylehasfostereddiversetrainingneedsandbroughtnewopportunitiestotheemploymenttrainingindustry.(4)Trendsoftheindustry’sfuturedevelopment ①The continuous growth ofthe number ofcollege graduates is an important indicator oftheemploymentsituation. Generallyspeaking,afastergrowingeconomycanbringahigheremploymentlevel.Inrecentyears,economicgrowthhassloweddown,butthenumberofcollegegraduateshascontinuedtogrow,reaching11.58millionthisyear,settinganewhistoricalrecord. Collegegraduatesaccountformorethanhalfoftheannualdemandofover15millionnewjobs,andthebonusperiodfortheexportofcheaprurallaborhascometoanend.Theexpansionofuniversityenrollmenthasobviouslyanddirectlyacceleratedthearrivaloftheinflectionpoint.Thelaborshortageoffarmerlaborerscoexists with the difficult employment ofcollege graduates. The demand fortraining forpublic service recruitmentexaminationcontinuestorise. Inaddition,aimingtomaintainsustainedeconomicgrowth,realizetransformationandupgrading,andovercomethe“middle-incometrap”,itisurgentlynecessarytocarryoutindustrialupgradingofmiddleandhigh-endvocationaleducationinordertoimprovethevocationalskillsandprofessionalliteracyofknowledge-basedemployees. ②Theseriousshortageofhigh-qualitysupplyisthemaincontradictionthatrestrictsthedevelopmentofthevocationaleducationindustry. Atpresent,thefoundationofvocationaleducationisstillweak.Duetotheextremelylowconcentrationoftheindustryandthelimitednumberoflargevocationaleducationinstitutesandenterprises,thesupplyofhigh-quality vocational education is seriously insufficient. In the future, with the improvement of industry concentration and the continuous development of leading vocational education enterprises, core business elementssuchasR&D,managementandmarketingofvocationaleducationwillgraduallybreakthroughtheoriginalboundariesoftheindustry,whichwillcreatehigh-qualityandcost-effectivesupplies,drivedemand-sidevolumewithsupply-sideinnovationandpushtheindustryintoanewtrackofrapiddevelopment.③Theurbanizationwavewillpromotethecontinuousimprovementofpublicserviceandthenumberofemployeesofthepublicservicesectorwillcontinuetoexpand.Theprocessofurbanizationisakeydriverofthelong-termimpactonChina’semploymentmarketgrowth.Atpresent,theurbanizationratehasexceeded60%.Urbanizationwillexpandthepublicfinancialexpenditureandthenumberofemployeesinthepublicservicesector.China’surbanizationrateremainsinahigh-speedgrowthrangeof30%to70%.Itislikelytocontinuetodevelopfornearly20yearstoachieveanurbanizationrateofmorethan80%indevelopedcountries.Meanwhile,continuousurbanizationmayalsoleadtomoreseriouslyinadequatepublicservicesupplyincities,whichwillalsoimposehigherrequirementsonthequalityofpublicservices. Comparedwithpublicproductssuchasinfrastructure,publicservicesarelabor-intensiveinputs,especiallythebasicpublicservicesoflocalgovernments.Ithiresahugenumberofemployeeswhileimprovingpublicservicecapabilities.China’slong-termgoalfor2035requirestherealizationofequalizedbasicpublicservices andthemaingoalofeconomicandsocialdevelopmentduringthe“14thFive-YearPlan”periodrequiresasignificantincreaseinthelevelofequalizationofbasicpublicservices.AccordingtotheresearchbytheNational Academy of Governance, the employed population in the public sector in developed countriesaccountsforabout10%to20%oftheworkforce,whichisevenhigherthan20%inCanadaandHongKong.However,theemployedpopulationinthecurrentpublicsectoronlyaccountsfor5%inmainlandChina.Withthedeepeningofurbanization,theproportionofemployedpopulationinChina’spublicsectorwillgraduallyincrease;andthemarketoftrainingforpublicservicerecruitmentexaminationwillalsomaintainalong-termsteadygrowth,whichhasbeenpartiallyprovedbytheastonishingdemandsonthetrainingforteacherrecruitmentexaminationandrecruitmentexaminationinmedicaltreatmentandpublichealth.3.Mainperformancedrivingfactors constraintssuchasinsufficientdemandandstructuralcontradictionsintertwinedwithcyclicalproblems.Thereisstillalotofroomforimprovementinresidents'consumptionpowerandwillingness.Inthefaceofmarketuncertainty,theCompanyrespondedtomarketchangeswithaprudentandsteadystrategy,shiftedfromscaletoefficiency,focusedonprofitcollection,activelyadjustedproductstructure,strengthenedrefinedmanagement, andreshapedtheorganizationalstructuretobringtheCompany’soperationbacktonormaltrack,thusachievingpositiveprofitgrowthinthefirsthalfoftheyear.Duringthereportingperiod,theCompanyrealizedatotaloperatingrevenueofRMB1.728billionandanetprofitattributabletoshareholdersofthelistedcompanyofRMB81.9817million,anincreaseof109.20%overthesameperiodofthepreviousyear.Netprofitattributabletoshareholdersoftheparentcompanyafterdeductingnon-recurringgainsandlosseswasRMB83.1926million,anincreaseof109.21%overthesameperiodofthepreviousyear.
