Henan: "Difficulty In Recruiting Workers" In A Big Province Of Labor Export

The entry of large enterprise groups has changed the employment market ecosystem in Henan province.

Further industrial upgrading will be bound to change the concept of talent and employment in this large province of labor export.

"How many people are required?"

In April 8th, a manager who had worked for a large food company in Henan called on the phone. "It's okay to eat and drink, not to work," he said. "There are master hands, and the monthly salary is 1500 yuan."

The only requirement for workers is "health in the middle".

In this context, Henan, the first labour exporting province in the past, was also "difficult to recruit".

The government helps to recruit workers.

"

However, with the spread of "labor shortage" from the southern coastal cities and the expansion of the "recruitment difficulties" area and the scope of work, the "good times" of Henan enterprises' employment, "summoning and coming," is no longer there.

"It is not easy to recruit, the mobility is too large, and the staff turnover rate is more than half."

A person in charge of the above food company sighed with deep sigh to the reporters. Now the recruitment has become a long way to go.

In order to cope with the recruitment difficulties, enterprises in various places have been trying to "recruit soldiers" and look forward to "retaining people" as far as possible.

"Since last year, we have increased the wages of employees by more than 30%."

A senior member of Zhengzhou missing Food Co., Ltd. told reporters that in addition, the company also improved the accommodation and meals of employees.

In fact, since last year, raising wages has become a "killer weapon" for enterprises to cope with recruitment difficulties.

However, this is not urgent.

An insider of another Henan food giant, who is shoulder to shoulder with the food miss, said: "after the first year of the peak season, it is urgent to employ people. Each person in charge of the job has put down the targets and tasks. In order to encourage recruitment, the factory also stipulates that every worker who brings in a worker can work for one to two months, giving a reward of 200 yuan."

In addition to the "heavy gold" reward for recruiting workers, the government is also helping.

"To make the OEM giant Foxconn settle in Henan, the government has promised to" help "recruit workers.

On March 9th, an official of the Zhengzhou municipal government of Henan revealed to reporters.

In June 2010, after fierce competition from many provinces, Foxconn finally "spent" in Zhengzhou.

From signing the agreement to putting into production, it took only two months, and 20 thousand workers in Foxconn Zhengzhou factory have been employed. There is no lack of unremitting efforts of Henan provincial governments at all levels.

It is understood that in June last year, the Henan provincial government began planning Foxconn recruitment matters, set up a "Foxconn science and technology group recruitment training staff coordination group", "requires all localities human resources and social security departments to actively assist Foxconn in Henan recruitment training staff work."

In addition to recruitment in the human resources market, "the governments of 18 prefecture level cities in Henan are divided into quota recruitment indicators."

The officials admitted that the recruitment progress of each city should be reported to the coordination group office every day. In order to complete the task, some would also subsidize road toll, free medical examination and so on.

Work pays no attention.

By the end of 2010, the province had sent more than 80 thousand employees to Foxconn technology group.

This is just a drop in the ocean.

In an interview, reporters learned that in order to enable farmers to pfer jobs nearby, Henan governments at all levels used Township and village platforms to recruit workers for industrial gathering areas and key construction projects.

In Anyang, Henan, Huaxian combines recruitment services with cowboy garment city and electronic company's employment needs. Anyang county holds different recruitment meetings in towns and townships according to the employment situation of smelting and textile industry gathering areas, and so on.

Industrial pfer triggers reflux

Henan

"This is closely related to the rapid development of Henan's economy and the continuous increase in industrial pfer."

Yang Zhengsheng, a researcher at the Henan provincial government development research center, said in an interview with reporters.

In recent years, with the pfer of manufacturing and labor-intensive industries to the mainland, all counties and cities in Henan are increasing the load pfer industry. This also provides more employment opportunities for the rural surplus labor force.

"Only Foxconn, hippocampal cars, GREE electric appliances (000651) and several other projects can add 600 thousand jobs to Henan."

Lv Zhihua, director of the Henan Provincial Department of human resources and social security office of migrant workers, told reporters.

Lv Zhihua said: "the new part of the pfer of labor force in Henan last year was mainly in the province, and declined outside the province. The number of people returning this year will increase. It is estimated that the number of people who pfer jobs in the province will exceed the number of people exporting to the province for the first time."

In fact, from the current recruitment situation, labor force pfer to coastal areas with labor intensive industries has become a trend and scale.

Foxconn's entry into Henan will undoubtedly have a symbolic significance in terms of technology content, project scale and industrial influence.

However, the most notable concern is the impact of its 300 thousand employment scale on the labor export market in Henan, and the phenomenon of employees returning from Henan has also attracted the attention of all parties.

Hu Hu, 24 years old, is a Jiaxian native in Henan. After working in Shenzhen Foxconn for 5 years, she is a long line. He can get more than 3500 yuan a month. When Foxconn settled in Zhengzhou last year, he chose to go back to Zhengzhou factory area.

"Wages have not changed, the treatment is the same, and can go home several times a year.

At present, more than 85% of the workers on the line are from Henan, and some are relatives of a village.

Talk nonsense.

And the arrival of Foxconn, the "big crocodile" worker, is not only a phenomenon of labor backflow, but also a stir in the entire Henan employment market.

"The salary and remuneration of Foxconn is higher than that of Henan's local enterprises, which is attractive to many people."

Yang Zhengsheng said that in addition to income, Foxconn's relatively standardized management, perfect welfare and labor insurance and medical insurance for workers and workers also made local enterprises feel the greatest pressure.

"This is just the beginning. As more manufacturing industries enter, the competition in the future labor market will intensify, which will have an impact on the local employing enterprises."

Yang Zhengsheng thinks.

The prophet of warm spring duck.

"What is more obvious now is that

At present, like miss and San Quan, most enterprises adopt measures to improve the automation level of enterprises and introduce advanced production lines, so as to reduce the number of employed workers, and provide certain room for growth by improving their working environment, increasing their wages and rest time.

"Employment difficulty" has become "past smoke"?

"Labor shortage" and "employment difficulty" coexist

"The surplus labor force in Henan's rural areas is 32 million, which has shifted 23 million 600 thousand by the end of last year, and about 8 million of the rural labor force needs to be pferred."

Lv Zhihua said frankly.

Half is seawater and half is fire.

"The pattern of oversupply of labor force has not fundamentally changed, the pressure of employment is still great, and a considerable part of the surplus labor force has difficulty in obtaining employment."

Yang Zhengsheng said frankly, at the same time, the problem of "recruitment difficulty" in front-line manufacturing, home economics, catering and other industries is still grim.

"At present, the two problems of rural laborers' employment difficulty" and "recruitment difficulties of enterprises" are intertwined.

An official of the Henan Provincial Department of human resources and social security told reporters that this is closely related to the changes brought about by the new generation of migrant workers becoming the main force of employment and industrial upgrading.

Henan is a large population province, and also a peasant worker province.

By the end of 2010, the 23 million 600 thousand generation of rural labor force pferred to the province had accounted for more than 62% of the new generation of migrant workers under 30 years old, which means that the new generation of migrant workers has quietly become the main force of enterprise employment.

The obvious characteristics of the age of the new generation of migrant workers have great influence on their concept of career choice.

"Most brothers and sisters are few, and their parents are superior to their parents. They do not suffer from hunger and have no cold. There is no concept in their minds about the problem of food and clothing." "patience and hardship are far less than that of their parents". The manager of a large food enterprise in Henan is appraise.

"That kind of unit with low wages, no package, no contract, no insurance, and little development, only a fool will go."

During the interview, a young worker from Zhengzhou told reporters that contemporary migrant workers emphasize the "dignity" and "development", and that the age of their parents' survival in order to survive is a long time ago.

"Unlike the previous generation of migrant workers, the new generation of migrant workers, though domicile in rural areas, do not have much experience in farming. They have relatively high educational level and are eager to integrate into the city to realize their aspirations for self-development."

Yang Zhengsheng said frankly that they are different from their parents in making money for work as the sole purpose. Choosing jobs not only emphasizes wages, but also pays more attention to welfare benefits, factory environment, corporate prestige and development opportunities.

How to change the structural problem of imbalance between labor supply and demand is a difficult problem for government departments and enterprises in the future.

"On the one hand, according to the actual situation, we should increase the training of labor skills, and on the other hand, enterprises should shift from the idea of unlimited supply of labor to attract people through salary and working conditions."

Yang Zhengsheng said frankly.
