In the face of the challenging employment situation for young people, college graduates and others are being encouraged by the government to take more jobs at the community level.
To encourage more young people to take up community posts, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, and the Ministry of Education have released a notice requiring all community management committees to make positions open to college graduates.
The notice said community committees must plan annual recruitment campaigns to fill all job openings. It sets the target that by 2025, for every 10 thousand people in a residential community there should be 18 social workers.
Local authorities are also being required to support communities and organizations that deal with nursing, domestic services, property management and healthcare, so that they can offer more job opportunities to college graduates.
