Premier Wen draws grassroots' ideas for govn't work
(Xinhua)
Updated: 2009-02-15 21:54 Wen said the central government invests about 1 trillion yuan in post-quake construction, including providing job opportunities.
Gu said he hoped for a unified measure that ensures migrant workers' insurance account transfer as many migrant workers could not continue their insurance program when they shift jobs. "I have bought insurance in Zhejiang but could not transfer my account to my hometown," he said. Gu also voiced his hope for the establishment of a comprehensive service center for migrant workers that could save them time to apply for different certificates or licenses. Currently it would take days to obtain these certificates as they have to visit many bureaux located in different places. Gu also hoped for the establishment of a unified training center for migrant workers as there were currently many substandard ones. Wen pondered for a second and said, "Your suggestions are very important. The central government has attached great importance to the migrant workers' employment. We are figuring out ways and are drafting measures for the transfer of your insurance account." Employment of more than 6 million college graduates this year has become a serious concern. The State Council, or the Cabinet, issued a circular on Sunday, ordering all regions and relevant departments to "put college graduate employment at the top of the government work agenda". Chen Weitao, a senior student of the Beijing-based Tsinghua University Law School is also one of the 13 people who were invited to Zhongnanhai to put forward suggestions on government work on January 12. He said he and his classmates began to be worried about jobs as the financial crisis unfolded. However, Chen said they were excited about the new policies helping college graduates to find jobs, including one saying scientific research programs should employ college graduates as research assistants. "It could not only settle employment issues but boost innovation vigor as well," Chen said. Wen said that the policy was made after he talked with students of the Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics in December. "The idea was put forward by the students and it is included in the policy." Chen said more students might change their employment concept as graduates were encouraged to join the army, work in rural areas and undertake community work after graduation. The premier was a graduate student of the China University of Geosciences. Wen said as a geology student he had hoped to work in western China including Tibet when he graduated. "How could I conduct geology work if I was in a city?" He also listened to other people talking about issues like medical services in rural areas, technological innovation, grain production, and rural education.
