A reporter learned at the State Council Information Office’s press-conference series on “Getting the 15th Five-Year Plan Off to a Strong Start” that, focusing on the goals and tasks of the 15th Five-Year Plan, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security will adopt a package of measures to stabilize and expand employment, improve service quality and protect rights and interests. Specific policies include implementing a youth employment-support plan for college graduates and others; a plan to improve employment quality for flexible workers and workers in new forms of employment; an employment-promotion initiative adapted to the development of artificial intelligence; the “Skills Illuminate the Future” training initiative; an employment-promotion initiative for migrant workers; an initiative to supply high-quality public employment services; and a “Human Resources Services Plus” integrated-development initiative.

记者从国新办举行的“开局起步‘十五五’”系列主题新闻发布会上获悉，锚定“十五五”规划目标任务，人社部将从稳岗扩容、服务提质、权益保障等方面综合施策，具体政策包括实施高校毕业生等青年就业支持计划、灵活就业和新就业形态劳动者就业质量提升计划，开展适应人工智能发展促就业行动、“技能照亮前程”培训行动、农民工就业促进行动、高品质就业公共服务供给行动以及“人力资源服务+”融合发展行动等。

China’s employment situation is currently stable overall. The latest data disclosed at the press conference showed that 10.52 million new urban jobs were created in the first nine months of this year, completing 87.7 percent of the full-year target.

当前我国就业形势总体稳定。发布会上披露的最新数据显示，今年前9个月，城镇新增就业1052万人，完成全年目标任务的87.7%。

The recently released 15th Five-Year Plan for Implementing the Employment-Priority Strategy makes systematic arrangements for promoting high-quality and full employment and provides scientific guidance and a program of action for employment work during the 15th Five-Year Plan period.

日前发布的《实施就业优先战略“十五五”规划》，对促进高质量充分就业作出系统部署，为做好“十五五”时期就业工作提供了科学指南和行动纲领。

Li Zhong, spokesperson and vice minister of human resources and social security, said the ministry will focus on the goal of high-quality and full employment and promote the construction of an employment-friendly mode of development.

人力资源社会保障部新闻发言人、副部长李忠介绍，人社部将锚定高质量充分就业这一目标，推动构建就业友好型发展方式。

“We will continue to promote coordination between macro policies—including fiscal, monetary and industrial policies—and employment policy; improve the mechanism for assessing employment impacts; strengthen assessments of the effects of major policies, major projects and major layouts of productive forces on employment; and promote a positive cycle between economic development and the expansion and qualitative improvement of employment. We will proactively respond to the employment impact of the development of new technologies such as artificial intelligence, implement an employment-promotion initiative adapted to AI development, and promote technology that advances upward and serves good purposes and employment that moves toward new and better opportunities. We will create a number of demonstration regions and units for high-quality and full employment, forming employment-work ‘model rooms’ that can be replicated and promoted,” Li said.

“我们将持续推动财政、货币、产业等宏观政策与就业政策协同发力，健全就业影响评估机制，强化重大政策、重大项目、重大生产力布局对就业影响的评估，促进经济发展与就业扩容提质良性循环。积极应对人工智能等新技术发展对就业的影响，实施适应人工智能发展促就业行动，推动科技向上向善、就业向新向优。创建一批高质量充分就业示范地区和单位，形成可复制可推广的就业工作‘样板间’。”李忠说。

The reporter learned that the ministry will emphasize stabilizing total employment, thoroughly implement an initiative to stabilize jobs and expand and improve employment, strive to stabilize the scale of employment in labor-intensive industries, continuously expand total employment in the service sector, and tap new employment potential while fostering and strengthening emerging and future industries. “For example, we will thoroughly implement the guiding principles of the national conference on the service sector and work with relevant departments to study and issue a document on promoting employment through service-sector development, so as to better leverage the service sector’s role as the main channel for absorbing employment,” Li said.

记者获悉，人社部将突出稳定就业总量，深入实施稳岗扩容提质行动，着力稳定劳动密集型行业就业规模，不断扩大服务业就业总量，在培育壮大新兴产业、未来产业中挖掘就业新潜能。“比如，我们将深入贯彻全国服务业大会精神，会同有关部门研究出台服务业发展促就业文件，更好发挥服务业吸纳就业的主渠道作用。”李忠表示。

Employment for key groups is the top priority of employment work. In response to the continuously growing number of college graduates, human-resources and social-security departments will strengthen policy incentives.

重点群体就业是就业工作的重中之重。针对持续增长的高校毕业生规模，人社部门将强化政策激励。

“We will coordinate the roles of market guidance and government promotion. On the one hand, we will improve and implement policies such as tax and fee reductions, employment subsidies and job-retention refunds, encouraging all types of business entities to stabilize and expand employment. On the other hand, we will also do our utmost to stabilize the scale of recruitment by Party and government organs, public institutions and state-owned enterprises, and coordinate the implementation of grassroots service projects such as the Western Plan and special-post teachers program. At the same time, we will vigorously foster new occupations and new positions and work to expand sources of employment growth for young people,” said Song Xin, director-general of the Department of Employment Promotion at the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security.

“我们坚持市场引导和政府促进协同发力。一方面，完善落实税费减免、就业补贴、稳岗返还等政策，激励各类经营主体稳岗扩岗；另一方面，我们也全力稳定机关、事业单位、国有企业招录招聘的规模，统筹实施好西部计划、特岗教师等一些基层服务项目。同时，我们也大力培育新职业新岗位，努力拓展青年就业增长点。”人力资源社会保障部就业促进司司长宋鑫表示。

Skills training is the foundation of employment and a key means of addressing structural employment imbalances. The reporter learned at the meeting that, during the 15th Five-Year Plan period, the ministry will adhere to investing in people and identify practical levers for its work. It will strive to provide 10 million subsidized vocational-skills training places each year and, over five years, record 40 million additional skill-certificate awards, including 14 million at the senior-worker level or above, continuously driving skills training to shift from scale expansion toward improvements in both quantity and quality.
