Growth Of Textile Industry Is Slowing Down, Affecting Employment In 2009

Yin Yumin, Minister of the Ministry of human resources and social security (hereinafter referred to as "Department of human resources and social affairs"), said in an interview with Xinhua today that changes in the economic situation have not yet had a significant impact on China's employment and social security, but if it fails to respond promptly and effectively, it is expected that the impact of employment in the first half of next year will gradually emerge.

The impact of the international financial crisis on the employment situation has attracted the attention of the central authorities.

The 6 group launched in November 1st from the Ministry of human resources and social affairs was carried out in Beijing.

According to the research plan of the first financial daily, the survey focused on the importation and export of labor force, and imported provinces and cities, such as Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Shanghai, and exported provinces and cities such as Hunan, Sichuan, Chongqing and Jiangxi.

The 4 groups are composed of officials from the Ministry of personnel and social affairs training and the Bureau of employment related bureaus. The other 2 groups are composed of labor science research and another institution of the Ministry, with two to three persons in each group. They are led by a bureau level officer, and the time of investigation is from one week to 10 days.

According to the plan, the whole research activity will end in November 20th.

The Ministry of human resources and social affairs attaches great importance to this investigation. Apart from the regular members of the research group, some vice ministers of the Department will also participate in research activities without any time.

According to the plan, the survey will mainly focus on two aspects: first, understand the specific reasons for bankruptcy and closure of enterprises, the number of unemployed persons, the specific identity of the unemployed, namely, urban workers or migrant workers, and local social insurance. Two, we need to know the number of migrant workers returning home and the ownership of enterprises before returning home.

The contents of these surveys will serve as the main basis for the Department to provide decision-making to the central government.

Before the massive intensive investigation of the Ministry of human resources and social affairs, Vice Premier Zhang Dejiang of the State Council has also studied some parts of Zhejiang and Jiangsu.

At the same time, Yin Yumin, Minister of the Ministry of human resources and social affairs, investigated employment and labor security in cities such as Guangzhou, Zhuhai, Dongguan and Zhongshan from October 28th to 31.

Yin Yumin, in an interview with Xinhua news agency 3, said that the changes in the economic situation have not yet had a significant impact on China's employment, social security and labor relations, but as China's economic growth has slowed down, there have been some noteworthy signs.

If we fail to respond promptly and effectively, we expect that the impact of employment in the first half of next year will gradually emerge.

Yin Yumin frankly said that the pace of economic growth slowed down and the pulling power of employment decreased.

From the labor market monitoring of the Ministry of human resources and social affairs, the demand for enterprises in the third quarter decreased compared with the same period last year, and the growth rate of new employment in some areas slowed down.

Some small and medium-sized enterprises have difficulty in production and operation, especially the labor intensive industries such as textile, clothing, processing and manufacturing, which are more difficult and have some adverse effects on employment. In addition, the slowdown in exports will reduce the demand for labor.

In an interview with the newspaper, a person close to the Ministry of human resources and Social Affairs said that the drop in the growth rate of new employment means that it is more difficult to create new jobs, which will directly affect the pfer of rural labor force and the employment of new labor force, including college students.
