Deqing, Zhejiang: Employment vitality behind the "odd job market"
Xinhua Daily Telegraph reporter Qiu Ben
"Xiaoli, today I saw an enterprise in the 'odd job market' with a heavy order task and eager to recruit temporary workers. Shall we go together?" After lunch, Ying Xiaoli, who was resting at home, received a call from a friend.
In recent months, Ying Xiaolidu, a 58 year old villager from Fuxi Street, Deqing County, Huzhou, Zhejiang Province, will do "odd jobs" whenever she has time. Ying Xiaoli is very satisfied with the "odd job market". "At my age, it is not easy to find a job. Now there is a 'part-time job market', which is different. After registering personal information, enterprises will call when necessary. This is the sixth part-time job."
The part-time job market is an important carrier for providing employment services to flexible employees and employers, and plays an important role in improving the employment service system, optimizing the allocation of human resources, and expanding employment channels. Since 2023, the Standing Committee of Deqing County People's Congress has taken the protection of the rights and interests of workers in flexible employment and new forms of employment as one of the supervision topics, and promoted 12 departments including Deqing County Human Resources and Social Security Bureau, County Development and Reform Bureau, and County Market Supervision Bureau to jointly issue the Implementation Opinions on Further Protecting the Rights and Interests of Workers in New Forms of Employment, Take the lead in introducing casual business accident insurance in Huzhou City to provide occupational injury protection for flexible employees.
"At present, many villagers in rural areas are capable of working and willing to work, but they were rejected by the employing unit because of their age. To this end, we put forward the proposal of 'broadening employment channels and actively creating a part-time job market', and handed it over to the county government in the form of review opinions for research and implementation." Yang Huirong, director of the Agriculture and Industry Committee of the Standing Committee of Deqing County People's Congress, introduced.
When the "odd jobs market" is established, it should be managed by enthusiastic people. "Every time the enterprise has new information, I will contact in time. This time, Zhejiang Yiweier Socks Industry has an order for 10000 pairs of socks. I immediately contacted the 'odd job market' and released the recruitment demand to the relevant sectors. Soon, the enterprise recruited several odd jobs, and the order task was successfully completed." Pan Qian, the leading supervision representative of the "odd job market" project, said.
"We have also set up 15 WeChat groups for recruitment and job hunting in response to the problems such as the lack of extensive release of recruitment information. At present, we have helped more than 200 people reach employment intentions." Pan Xiaoli, a deputy to Deqing County People's Congress and president of Fuxi Street Adult Culture and Technology School, actively advised on building and making good use of the "odd job market" after repeatedly supervising the construction of the project.
"Previously, all the odd jobs were introduced by friends, and they can only work one day at a time, which is unstable. Now, with the government's platform, the workers must be more relieved." Ning Yougen, a migrant worker from Jiangxi, said.
The "odd jobs market" is building a "service bridge" for employment in the form of accurate matching. In 2023, the "odd jobs market" in Deqing County will achieve 3422 flexible jobs, 2021 jobs for unemployed people and 402 jobs for people with difficulties in employment, which will overfulfil the project construction task. Up to now, Deqing County has successfully built 3 odd job markets and 27 odd job posts. (Joined by Wang Lizhong)
