We will attract more than 200000 people to work and find employment at their doorstep
In order to implement the spirit of the Central Economic Work Conference, the Rural Work Conference, and the National "Two Sessions", accelerate the implementation of work for relief projects, and early drive the employment and income increase of disadvantaged groups, the National Development and Reform Commission has jointly approved a central special investment of 7.3 billion yuan for work for relief in 2023, accounting for more than 90% of the annual planned investment scale. It supports more than 20 provinces in the central and western regions to implement more than 2000 rural small and medium-sized infrastructure construction projects. The proportion of labor remuneration for investment projects in the central budget of work for relief will be comprehensively increased to over 30% of central funds. Based on the projects, new relief models such as labor skills training, public welfare job development, and asset equity based quantitative dividends will be widely carried out to attract more disadvantaged groups. Especially for rural poverty-stricken populations, those who are prone to returning to poverty, and migrant workers returning to their hometowns, they work and find employment at their doorstep. After the implementation of the project, it is expected to distribute labor remuneration of over 2 billion yuan, attract and drive more than 200000 disadvantaged people to participate in the construction of the project, and increase per capita income by about 10000 yuan.
Next, the National Development and Reform Commission will further adhere to the original intention of "relief", adhere to solving the problem of employment and income increase for disadvantaged groups as the starting point and foothold of "work as a substitute for relief" work, and issue the remaining investment plan in the central budget of "work as a substitute for relief" for 2023 as soon as possible. It will supervise and guide relevant provinces to accelerate project commencement and construction, solidly grasp the work of mass labor organizations and labor remuneration distribution, and fully play the important role of "work as a substitute for relief" in stabilizing employment, protecting people's livelihoods, and promoting development.
