On Education And Training Of Informally Employed Labour Force

Informal employment has become an effective way to settle the problem of employment hardship when nowadays China's employment situation hardship is becoming more and more severe. Currently, informal employment has become an essential component of China's labour market. Predictably, with the development of the economy and the furtherization of the reform, informally employed laboure force will play an increasingly important role in China's economic and social development.At the present stage, China's informally employed labour force mainly consists of the weak-powered crowds such as the labours from the countryside, the laid-off workers in cities and towns and self-supplied workers. These groups of people are not only low in the storage of labour capital, but they are short of opportunities of continued education and training. The poor quality of labour greatly hinders the improvement of the personal and family situation of the informally employed labours, which expands the conflicts between social classes, restricts the development of the economy and threatens the harmony and stability of the society. Therefore, the improvement of the quality and skills have become an urgent task we have to face. Currently, China has no education and training theory for the informally employed labours, and the education and training practice is not mature and the relavant education and training system and institution have not formed. Thus it can be seen that the theorecital research and practice on the informally employed labours is a subject needed to be coped with.This dissertation includes the issue of training of the informally employed labours in the theoretical frame of the supply and demand for education and training market, and with the logical beginning point of thorough analysis on the factors of the education and traing market of the informally employed labours—interest-entity of supply and demand, products of education and training and the particular nature and features of the education and training market, the dissertation mainly makes research into the training patterns and characteristics in the education and training of the informally employed labours by the related interest entities such as government, units of employers, social education and training institutions and so on, and thus comes to a conclusion about the nature of the "rational economy man" of the supply and demand in the education and traing of informally employed labours, the nature of the fact that education and training focuses on "public goods" and the nature of "mixed economy" of education and training market, which also acts as the theoritical premise of the whole analysis. Based on the above, this dissertation goes on to look into the severe conflicts and problems in the supply and demand of the education and training of the informally employed labours, and analyses the causes in system and policy about the issue, hence putting forward the design of institution and patterns dealing with the hardship in settling the problems of the education and training of informally employed labours.The dissertaton consists of eight chapters with mainly four parts except for Chapter One as an introduction.Part One consists of Chapter Two with the defining of the concepts and acknowledgement of the books referred to, which clarifies concepts related to the education and training of the informally employed labours, and hackles and comments on the research achievements. The objects of the research is fixed on the weakly-powered informally employed labours with the focus on the issue of education and training.Part Two consists of Chapter Three and Four with basic theoretical research, which establishes the foundation of the whole dissertation. This part, based on the basic principle of supply and demand for education, researches into the nature of the basic factors of the market of education and training of the informally employed labours, and exposes the theoretical gist of the duty for the government to offer education and training for the informally employed labours. On condition of the observation of the situation of the informally employed labours, this part analyses the demand for education and training of informally employed labours and action features and inducements of the choice of education and training.Part Three consists of Chapter Five, Six and Seven with the digging for problems and the search for the causes, which, through the review of history and observation of the reality about the education and training for China's informally employed labours, illustrates the deep issues about the contradiction of the total amount between supply and demand, the contradiction of the framework of supply and demand and the defects of supply pattern in the education and training for informally employed labours. This part also makes a further analysis on the origin the problems concerning the division of labour market, educational system and policy.Part Four consists of Chapter Eight with discussion on the approaches to settle the problems. With the help of the experience from other countries and relating to China's reality, this part of the dissertation puts forward the design of education and training system for the informally employed labours, thereby trying to construct the supply pattern of education and training for China's informally employed labours.
