Text of the official document: Notice on effectively ensuring basic living security and re-employment for laid-off employees of state-owned enterprises. Notice to all provincial, autonomous region, and municipality party committees and people's governments, all major military region party committees, central and state agencies, ministries and commissions, all headquarters of the Military Commission, and all services and arms.

Party Committees and People's Organizations: In recent years, the problem of laid-off workers in state-owned enterprises has become increasingly prominent and has attracted widespread attention from the whole society.

The Party Central Committee and the State Council have always attached great importance to and cared about the lives and re-employment issues of laid-off workers, and clearly required party committees and governments at all levels to take active measures to effectively protect the basic lives of laid-off workers and vigorously implement re-employment projects.

Through the joint efforts of party committees at all levels, governments and all aspects of society, laid-off workers have achieved certain results in basic living security and re-employment.

However, we must also clearly see that the situation we face is still severe, and the task of providing basic living security and re-employment for laid-off workers from state-owned enterprises is still very arduous.

At present and in the future, we must ensure the realization of the state-owned enterprise reform goals proposed at the 15th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and complete the strategic adjustment of the state-owned economic layout. We must further take strong measures to ensure the basic living security of laid-off employees of state-owned enterprises.

and reemployment efforts.

To this end, the following is a special notice: 1. Unify ideological understanding and enhance the sense of urgency and responsibility. Party committees and governments at all levels must fully realize that a large number of employees have been laid off in recent years. This is a reflection of the employment system and employment policies implemented under the planned economy.

The inevitable reflection in the process of economic transition is also the result of years of accumulation of repeated construction, blind construction, and deep-seated contradictions in the corporate operating mechanism.

If we want to establish a socialist market economic system and a modern enterprise system, we will inevitably have to go through such a historical process.

In the long run, with the deepening of reform, scientific and technological progress and the adjustment of economic structure, corresponding adjustments and flows of labor will often occur.

It will take about three years to get most large and medium-sized state-owned loss-making enterprises out of their predicament and promote the development of the national economy to achieve a virtuous cycle. An important condition is to effectively solve the problem of bloated and overstaffed enterprises.

Although this will bring temporary difficulties to some workers, fundamentally speaking, it is conducive to economic development and overall social progress, and is in the long-term interests of the working class.

At the same time, we must also fully realize that properly solving the basic living security and re-employment issues of laid-off workers from state-owned enterprises is not only a major economic issue, but also a major political issue; it is not only a realistic and urgent issue, but also a long-term strategic issue.

Doing this work well is not only an essential requirement of the socialist system, but also the responsibility of the party and the government.

It is related to the success or failure of the reform of state-owned enterprises, to social stability and the consolidation of the socialist regime.

Therefore, we must focus on the overall situation of reform, development, and stability, enhance the sense of urgency and responsibility, and take all necessary measures to effectively handle this matter and create a good social environment for realizing the grand blueprint for the cross-century proposed by the 15th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.

environment.

2. Clarify goals and tasks, and strengthen macro-control. According to the overall arrangement of the reform of state-owned enterprises and taking into account the affordability of all aspects of society, the central government requires that at present and in the future period, the basic living security and re-employment issues of laid-off workers from state-owned enterprises shall be mainly solved, and

Protecting their basic livelihood is the top priority, and we strive to ensure that the number of people who are re-employed every year is greater than the number of newly laid-off workers that year. In 1998, more than 50% of laid-off workers and newly laid-off workers that year were re-employed.

It will take about five years to initially establish a social security system and employment mechanism that meet the requirements of the socialist market economic system.

All regions and relevant departments (industries) must adhere to the guiding ideology of being serious and responsible, doing their best, highlighting key points, and strengthening regulation, and formulate practical work plans around the implementation of the above goals and tasks, clarifying specific goals and requirements, so as to make this work

Be organized and planned.

At the same time, we must adhere to the principle of combining downsizing to increase efficiency and promoting re-employment, and to adapt laid-off workers to social affordability, grasp the pace of corporate mergers and bankruptcies, downsizing to increase efficiency, and layoffs, and strengthen macro-control.

It is necessary to standardize the laid-off procedures for employees and establish a filing system for reporting and filing of laid-off employees.

Enterprises must fully consider national interests and social responsibilities, and be responsible to their employees to the end.

When an enterprise formulates a layoff plan for employees, it should also propose measures to provide basic living security and re-employment for laid-off employees, and organize its implementation after fully listening to the opinions of the Workers' Congress.

In order to protect the basic life of employees' families, if a couple is in the same company, they should not be laid off at the same time; if one spouse is not in the same company, if one spouse has been laid off, the company where the other spouse works should not arrange for him to be laid off.

It is necessary to try to avoid the layoff of national and provincial (ministerial) model workers, family members of martyrs, and disabled people.

It is necessary to universally implement a labor preparation system, and provide 1 to 3 years of vocational and technical training for middle and high school graduates in urban areas who are unable to continue their studies.

It is necessary to continue to encourage and guide the rural surplus labor force to move to nearby places and reasonably regulate the scale of migrant workers in cities.
