People identified by the government as having temporary difficulties in finding jobs will get financial help, according to a new social security measure.
The help includes a 266-yuan (US$32) monthly subsidy and a pre-paid traffic transit card, today's Youth Daily reported.
The measure, already in effect in such districts and counties as Pudong, Baoshan and Putuo, has drawn positive reactions, according to the Shanghai Labor and Social Security Bureau.
Unlike unemployment insurance, this help is only a short-term measure, the labor authority noted.
Citizens can enjoy it when they are without work for a maximum of 24 months, it said.
