How do fresh graduates apply for subsistence allowances?

The "Notice on Effectively Doing a Good Job in the Employment of Students in General Colleges and Universities in 2006" was just issued jointly by 14 central ministries and commissions (according to Xinhua News Agency).

The "Notice" proposed for the first time that all localities should include college students who cannot find jobs after graduation into the scope of subsistence allowances. If they are still not employed in September this year, they can receive subsistence allowances. In terms of the government's willingness and ability to provide protection, this is a kind intention and an improvement in capabilities.

But I believe that many parents will feel uncomfortable when they see this notice. After all, the government provides subsistence allowances to college students, and the information therein has shown that the employment situation of college students in our country is quite severe, and no unit or department can face it alone. At the same time, it also shows that in recent years, the media and all walks of life have continuously called for attention to the problem of employment difficulties for college students, which is not unfounded.

The group of parents who experienced the same scene 4 years ago may have a different feeling in their hearts. According to the words of the person in charge of the Higher Education Department of the Ministry of Education, college students should "position themselves as ordinary workers" and "can no longer claim to be the elite of society". I think this is just standing up and talking without pain. I would like to ask this person in charge: Have you ever gone deep into the actual situation to understand the plight of fresh graduates? When a company in Guangzhou recruits undergraduates with a monthly salary of 500 yuan, and a company in Chongqing offers undergraduates a monthly salary of 300 yuan and there are people applying, when will college students still "self-proclaimed themselves as social elites"? As college is a non-compulsory education, many parents are scrimping on food and clothing. The average education cost is 130,000 yuan for their children to graduate from college. Although no parents want their children to pay back, they feel sad when faced with their children's monthly salary of several hundred yuan after graduation. One can imagine!

While the economic data on the surface have been improving year after year, the employment prospects and economic return expectations of college graduates have become increasingly pessimistic, constituting a paradox in China's development process. It should be said that the "Notice" focuses on the employment problem of college graduates, indicating the country's determination to work hard to solve the problem. But it remains to be seen how the problem will be solved and what encouraging directions will be found. Generally speaking, there have been too many heavy lessons in these years. At the very least, unfair development and increasing polarization have objectively made some college students directly become poor people receiving subsistence allowances. This is an intolerable misalignment from the perspective of the university, the individual students, and the country's poverty reduction strategy.

China News Service reported on June 4, “Fresh graduates who are still not employed after September 1 this year can apply for unemployment registration at the labor and social security department in the place where they are registered. "Provide minimum living security for graduates who have difficulties in life." This is the "On Effectively Doing a Good Job in Ordinary Education in 2006" jointly issued by China's 14 departments including the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, the Propaganda Department of the CPC Central Committee, the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, and the Ministry of Education. Notice on Employment of College Graduates". In China, those who enjoy the "subsistence allowance" are unemployed and low-income people in cities. Today, the government wants to provide "subsistence allowance" to college students. In the past, this was unimaginable to the "proud ones" in the "ivory tower". However, it did happen on Children's Day in 2006.

The message in it is very clear: the employment situation of Chinese college students is grim, the government's hand has begun to change from "lifting" and "lifting" to "supporting" and "supporting", and Chinese college students have also changed from the "social elite" Stand up from your chair and return to the trend of talent allocation in the market economy. Previously, on May 22 this year, the head of the Higher Education Department of the Ministry of Education of China said in an interview with a central-level media that "college students should be positioned as ordinary workers" and "can no longer claim to be the elite of society." . At the same time, a labor expert also said in an interview with the media: Today’s fresh graduates have become “low-level employees” to a certain extent. The government and experts unanimously recognize that college students are "ordinary workers." It is not difficult to understand why the government now provides "minimum living allowance" to college students. Correspondingly, as the main body of education, the employment of college students has also entered the "civilianization" stage. This will indicate that in the near future, China's college students will be distributed to wider areas and jobs that require the most talents. This is undoubtedly good news for China's development.

In addition, in recent years, major universities in Beijing, together with government departments and enterprises, have spared no effort to implement various measures to encourage college students to find employment in the west and at the grassroots level. (
