Shanghai Labor and Social Security Bureau, with its secondary
departments, launched a month-long project today on assisting zero employment
families (ZEF).
The project promises to ensure that at least one member
of each ZEF, a family that are all currently unemployed, will get a job before
this years Spring Festival.
From today, community helpers will be
dispatched to visit each ZEF and investigate their detailed unemployment
situation. A corresponding liability system and evaluation system will soon be
built to aid the project. Anyone who was needs help will receive an
individualized employment plan, as well as a chance for interviews in their
relevant field.
According to the policies on employment promotions,
those who are employed during the assisting period will be given some regulated
subsidies, such as social security insurance and a post
subsidy.
