A Study On Laid-off Unemployment And Re-employment

Laid-off unemployment and underemployment have been worldwide problems. As a large country in terms of population, China has long been faced with the contradiction that supplies of laborer exceeds demand of laborer. With the founding of new China, the urban paid-off population was 4 million; the second climax of urban laid-off employment took place during the Three-year Natural Disaster (1959-1961); in 1970s-80s, the contradiction of supply and demand of laborer was expressed in the phenomenon that urban laborers failed to be fully employed and were forced to await being employed, hence an invisible unemployment problem; in 1990s, the emergence of large armies of urban laid-off population and excessive laborers, thanks to the deepening of market economic mechanism reform, technological innovation as well as the further adjustment of industrial structure, worsened the contradiction of supply and demand of laborer. With the gradual expansion of employment scale at the beginning of 21st century, the national re-employment has made great progress. However, the Government's task is still hard, because the employment situation of China is still austere at present and in intermediate future, and because the bettering of social security system will be newly challenged. If the laid-off laborers could not be reasonably employed, the course of national economic reform and the social political stability and development would be impaired. The acceleration of re-employment of laid-off laborers is the premise and requirement of the deepening of state-owned enterprises, social security system improvement, quickening economic structure adjustment and the maintaining of social political stability. The acceleration of re-employment of laid-off workers is also a crucial means to the lessening of employment pressure as well as the solution to present chief contradiction. As an economic task as well as a political task, it is an unavoidable and indispensable key project to research and solve the problem of laid-off unemployment and re-employment. This paper, based on the studies on laid-off unemployment sketch and traits, the reasons of laid-off unemployment, obstacles of re-employment, both positive and negative effects of laid-off unemployment, and the situation and task of employment, puts forward academic considerations and measures to further administration oflaid-off unemployment and re-employment from the viewpoint of economics, politics, psychology, pedagogy and sociology. Its main measures involve: from the angle of economics, productivity must be greatly developed to create more opportunities of re-employment for laid-off laborers; from politics, diverse mass medias must be fully utilized to stabilize their pessimistic mood after a full understanding of the negative effect of unemployment on social stability; from psychology, their psychological characteristics must be conscientiously studied, and they must be provided with extensive psychological consultations; from pedagogy, re-employment training must be effectively implemented to improve their basic quality; from sociology, a social environment of supporting re-employment must be created by advocating various dedication of love.
