200 million flexible workers, is it considered formal employment? What is the hope for flexible employment?
With the rapid transformation of China's economy, emerging industries are also rapidly emerging. A new type of employment, flexible employment, has developed rapidly. For example, positions such as online anchors, food delivery riders, domestic service workers, and online car-hailing drivers are all classified as flexible employment. Another major feature of flexible employment is that it is related to the development of the network economy.
According to media reports, the number of flexible workers in China has exceeded 200 million. All kinds of flexible jobs have become an important force in absorbing employment. As the number of people in flexible employment continues to increase, so does the awareness of this phenomenon. It is undeniable that flexible employment plays an important role in today's society, providing employment opportunities and livelihood security for many people. However, flexible employment will inevitably lead to new social contradictions and problems in the long run.
First, flexible employment can literally be seen as a temporary, temporary, and urgent form of employment;
Second, flexible employment cannot be long-term or planned, so that practitioners do not have a long-term plan, "hit the clock for a day, earn a day of money". There is a possibility of throwing it away or changing careers at any time;
Third, most of the positions of flexible employment are "eating youth". Online anchors, delivery riders, etc. all require intelligence and physical strength, and they can't do it at all if they are over a certain age;
Fourth, if flexible employment becomes a recommended employment position for college graduates, it will cause social repercussions or fluctuations. Because these positions are too different from the jobs and dreams they want to go to college, it is difficult to accept.
Fifth, the status quo of flexible employment is high work intensity, unstable positions, unstable income, and lack of social security. There is also a lack of necessary policies and regulations on labor insurance and social welfare. Such as retirement, pension, medical insurance and so on.
Therefore, although flexible employment plays an important role in society, it also faces many problems that are difficult to solve. Whether flexible employment can be a long-term solution and whether it can truly become an important guarantee for people's employment and life is worthy of in-depth research and discussion, and continuous improvement.
It is expected that flexible employment can give workers a promising future.
