Shanghai kicked off a citywide program on January 8 to create some
100,000 jobs for local laid-off workers and surplus farmers by 2005. Shanghai
Mayor Han Zheng addressed at the program-launching ceremony.
Shanghai will
create more than 60,000 new jobs for local unemployed workers and surplus
farmers this year.
Employment plays a significant role in guaranteeing the
local reform and development stability, and the Shanghai Party Committee and
Municipal Government is always focusing on employment and reemployment work, Han
pointed out.
Employment is a fundamental life assurance for thousands of
local families, and helping laid-off workers and surplus families to find a new
job can help out a whole family, Mayor Han stressed.
"Helping every citizen
to live a happy life can ensure a healthy and coordinated social development,"
he said.
The program is an important government move to support the people
with trouble to find jobs, and all the government departments should make more
efforts to enhance local employment, he added.
The whole society should give
more support and aid to the reemployed personnel, and the employees covered in
the program should do a good job in the new positions to show their values,
Mayor Han said.
