Hu Jintao Stresses Need to Re-employ Laid-off Workers
Hu Jintao, general secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC), Sunday stressed the need to further re-employment projects for laid-off workers.
Hu made the remark during his inspection in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.
He said governments at various levels must properly carry out the policies announced by the central government to create a favorable environment for laid-off workers and encourage them to develop their own career.
The government shall make more efforts to create jobs for laid-off workers based on the concrete conditions of the local economy, he added.
Administrations are also required to provide essential training and social insurance for laid-off workers, Hu said.
Hu also noted that more efforts will be directed to meet the needs of needy people and help them alleviate poverty with their own efforts.
He called on the less developed areas in China to develop economy with their own characteristics, which will not only make them flexible to the change of the market but also well protect the environment.
The central government and more developed areas will further increase support for the less developed areas in a bid to achieve a balanced regional economic growth, Hu said.
