The key to solving this problem lies in improving employment policies, it is necessary to fully mobilize social forces and try by all possible means to open up employment channels and find an employment way out for laid-off and diverted personnel, so as to maintain social stability. Non-publicly owned economy is an important component of the socialist market economy, as well as an important channel for solving the social employment problem.
