The government will also increase the export of organized labor services and guide the orderly flow of rural migrant workers, Wen noted. With its annual growth slowing to a seven-year low of 9 percent last year, China has seen about 20 million out of 130 million migrant workers returning to their rural homes without jobs. In addition, there will be 7.1 million college graduates seeking vacancies this year, including 1 million who failed to secure jobs last year. China is yet to see the worst employment situation while its economy has shown signs of recovery, as the rebound of job creation is usually behind economic turnaround, said Li Yining, a leading Chinese economist with Peking University. "The economy usually demand less labor after experiencing a crisis because it will see improved technologies, equipment and productivity," said Li, also a member of the 11th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), the nation's top political advisory body. The urban unemployment rate rose to 4.2 percent at the end of 2008, up 0.2 percentage point year-on-year. China aims to keep its registered jobless rate below 4.6 percent and provide 9 million new urban jobs this year. "It's not an easy target, but the country is actively finding ways to make it happen," said Li. Li noted that while China should develop capital- and technology-intensive industries for the long-term growth, special aid should be given to labor-intensive companies to meet the urgent need of boosting employment. He called for reforms to give fair treatment and easier market access to private enterprises, which can absorb a large part of labor force. Labor oversupply will continue to exist in China in a long period and can only be solved by stronger domestic demand and faster industrial restructuring, said Cai Fang, head of the Institute of Population and Labor Economics, the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.
An editorial of the People's Daily has called on China's top political advisory body to made due contributions to help the country weather through difficulties.
