Classics commented: New occupations open the new track more need to be guarded with "heart"

Today, the younger generation has more employment choices and updates. Recently, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security announced 18 new occupations such as "B & B's Butler", "Family Education Instructor" and "Research Travel Instructor". After the publicity is soliciting opinions and amending and improving, these new occupations will be included in the new edition of the classification ceremony.

The new economy bred new occupation. In recent years, with the advancement of technological progress, concept updates, and consumption upgrades, new professions have sprung up. As of March 2021, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security has announced 56 new occupations in 4 batches. The emergence of each new profession has witnessed the more fine division of labor and more diverse development vitality in society. Like the housekeeper, in just a few years, the number of practitioners has reached the "million" level, and behind it is the booming development of the homestay industry.

The new occupation has opened a new outlet for employment and contains new opportunities for economic development. Naming these new occupations and incorporated into the national professional system will help enhance the social identity of employees and attract more young people "heartbeat". After the new occupation was "official certification", he put forward higher requirements for practitioners, and forced practitioners to continue to learn and enrich themselves. Regulating the development of new professional talents is also conducive to promoting the sustainable and healthy development of new industries and new formats, and injecting new vitality into economic and social development.

However, the "new" of the new occupation also means that its development has no previous example, and it will inevitably face some "growing troubles." For example, in recent years, with the emergence of new occupations, related training has become increasingly hot. In the absence of training qualifications, some institutions to offer related courses not only harm the rights and interests of the students, but also affect the social recognition of the new profession.

There is also the use of new technologies, which breaks through the limitations of time and space, which has spawned a large number of flexible employment forms, such as takeaway riders, online car drivers, live salespersons, and so on. However, compared with traditional occupations, the labor relationship of these new occupations is uncertain. How to protect the legitimate rights and interests of practitioners is also a problem that must be solved.

The new profession reflects the pulse of the times. To make new occupations grow faster, it is necessary to use the "heart" to provide a better "soil" for it. On the one hand, it is necessary to increase the supply of policy, do a good job of related supporting services, and implement measures such as social security, labor remuneration, and skill training as soon as possible to ensure the legitimate rights and interests of new professionals, and promote the release of new employment forms. Previously, Shandong, Jilin and other provinces had carried out new professional title reviews, which broke the rules and regulations that restrict the development of new professional talents.

On the other hand, it is necessary to strengthen the foresight, prediction and evaluation of the new career development trend, continuously make up for the development of shortcomings, improve regulatory measures, and make new occupations mature in the norms and go to the market in maturity. In March of this year, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security launched a special governance of the technical and skill "cottage certificate", which is to further standardize the order of the vocational training market.

From the perspective of demand, new occupations have a broad prospect. The "New Professional Online Learning Platform Development Report" released in 2020 shows that in the next five years, the demand for new professional talents in the next five years is huge, with a talent gap of nearly 10 million. Facing the society's thirst for new professional talents, the education department and vocational colleges need to provide the corresponding talent education and training system, improve the professional discipline settings and adjustment mechanisms, and increase the supply of talents.

The vitality of the new era, representing new professions of new technologies, new trends, and new needs will continue to emerge. The key to whether a new occupation can exist for a long time depends on whether it can be recognized by the market. Only with many efforts can the new track that opens the new profession becomes Kangzhuang Avenue. (China Economic Network commentator Liang Yu)
