Zhou Taitong, Vice Mayor of Shanghai, urged local governments to make
all efforts to ensure the city's targets met of creating about 10,000 jobs this
year at a local employment working conference on February 16.
Saying the
government must be committed to its earlier promise for the key 10,000 job
program of 2004, he required government departments of all levels to closely
cooperate in the work.
He said municipal, district and community departments
must jointly create a platform to ensure the program in policy, organization and
finance.
He raised requirements in six areas for the work:
* First,
governments of all levels must improve the institutional organization to ensure
the implementation of the work;
* Second, the departments concerned must
speed up the drafting of policies and plans as in training and professional
standards;
* Third, the departments must rev up with the launch of the sub
programs and the focus program for the near future is creating jobs in the
public service sector;
* Fourth, departments involved in the work must be
clear about their responsibilities in the whole program and enforce the
cooperation and coordination between them;
* Fifth, labor and social security
departments must have a sorting of information about intending applicants for
the program and ensure jobs first for those who are most in needy;
* Sixth,
the relevant departments must intensify promotion and information disclosure for
the program and collect feedbacks in time to solve problems once
encountered.
