Research report on the difficulty of working at the grassroots level for university graduates
Promoting college students to find jobs at the grassroots level is one of the measures taken by the Chinese government to continuously expand employment channels and relieve employment pressure. However, this good policy that benefits the country and the people has not yet achieved great results in some areas. There are many barriers and obstacles that college students cannot overcome. my country has introduced 7 measures to strengthen the employment of college graduates. , the first item is to “encourage and guide graduates to find employment at the grassroots level in urban and rural areas.” This is enough to illustrate the importance that the party and the government attach to promoting employment. This is also great news for grassroots enterprises, especially rural areas. However, the reality is that it is easier said than done to truly enable college students to successfully reach the grassroots level, especially to take root in rural areas and work safely, because there are many barriers and obstacles that college students themselves cannot overcome.
1. Current status of work at the grassroots level
At the grassroots level, especially in remote rural areas, professionals in education, health, agriculture, forestry, water conservancy and animal husbandry are needed, especially teacher.
According to my country's current primary and secondary school teacher preparation standards, the student-teacher ratios for urban, county, town and rural primary schools are xx:xx, xx:xx and xx:xx, and the student-teacher ratios for junior high schools are xx:xx, xx :xx and xx:xx. This standard has resulted in a significant reduction in the number of teachers in primary and secondary schools in my country, especially in rural areas. In particular, the serious shortage of teachers in rural primary and secondary schools has been exacerbated by the inversion of staffing standards between urban and rural areas.
In XXXX, the education system of a certain county was short of 221 teachers. After repeated requests from the Education Bureau, the county editorial committee finally gave xxx quotas. Due to staffing restrictions, some college students who are interested in engaging in education at the grassroots level are blocked.
In the past few years, under the financial system of separate kitchens, each unit, especially at the township level, had one more person to eat for each unit, especially at the township level, which put more pressure on the finances. Many towns and villages are unable to make ends meet and have serious wage arrears. Lei Yinying, director of the Education Office of Taoyuan Town, Feicheng City, Shandong Province, said, "It is an unavoidable fact that rural teachers are paid less. In the same county, the income difference between urban and rural teachers is more than one-third, and rural teachers do not enjoy policies such as housing provident funds. There are even rural teachers in some counties who do not have medical insurance and dare not seek medical care when they are sick... These have seriously affected the enthusiasm of teachers to devote themselves to education. "
After the implementation of county and city salary coordination, it is guaranteed that township finances can support personnel. Wages are paid on time, and towns and villages are motivated to increase personnel. However, the overall financial resources of most places are still insufficient, and they are unable to significantly increase the number of people supported by finance in the short term. They can only respond to the economic development of various places and the fiscal revenue situation, first urgent, then slow, first The top level will be followed by the grassroots level, and when conditions permit, we will gradually recruit grassroots personnel.
In some remote and remote areas, even if college students come, they are often lost quickly due to high costs in transportation, communication, living and other aspects, low job benefits, and poor working environment.
2. Lack of information at the grassroots level
Due to the imperfect information network at the grassroots level, there is a lack of employment information at the grassroots level. After investigating xx large-scale talent recruitment fairs held in a certain city, none of them targeted the talents needed in rural areas. As for what kind of talents are needed in rural areas, what majors, what levels, how many, etc., there is never a special introduction. Because in quite a few places, relevant departments simply do not realize the importance of establishing a human resources supply and demand information platform that is authoritative, dynamic, and symmetrical to economic development in rural areas. It is precisely because of the lack of guidance on grassroots employment, especially the lack of timely analysis of the demand for grassroots talents, that the supply and demand are out of touch and unevenly distributed. Some college students flooded into the job search force as soon as they graduated, sometimes going south, sometimes going north. Some couldn't even get the opportunity to take exams and interviews, and even if they wanted to go to the grassroots level, they couldn't find a way.
3. College graduates have mismatched majors
Judging from the current rural situation, teachers are most urgently needed, followed by clinicians and nurses, and then technical talents in agriculture, forestry and water. . What is most lacking among teachers are professionals in English, music, art, physical education and other fields. Due to the lack of forecasting and prediction of the demand for grassroots talents, many universities are willing to target training in large and medium-sized cities, and few target the grassroots. From the choice of college entrance examination, to the setting of university majors, to the flow of graduates, they are not ready for grassroots employment. Originally, there were few professional counterparts, and even fewer graduates could come to rural areas.
4. Bad comments about grassroots work in society
In the habits and consciousness of some people, grassroots units are synonymous with remoteness, backwardness, hardship and difficulty. People working at the grassroots level seem to be inferior to others. They are not as capable, high-level, and capable as those employed in the city, and they are not as good as having development prospects in the city.
Over the years, policy-based discrimination has continued unabated. Whether it is funding arrangements or development opportunities, whether it is resource allocation or personnel allocation, people are always accustomed to putting the city first and then thinking of the countryside. What is even more tragic is that in order to fill the shortage of certain types of talents in the city, outstanding talents are even openly selected from villages and towns to fill the vacancies in the city. For example, some prefectures and cities, in addition to giving priority to selecting college students every year, also regularly select some outstanding teachers from townships to teach in municipal middle schools.
Although the selected teachers are highly coveted, this has widened the "scissors gap" between the quantity and quality of urban and rural talents, artificially creating and widening the gap between urban and rural areas, making the towns and villages that are already short of talents even worse.
On the one hand, there is a shortage of talents at the grassroots level, and it is difficult to find people who are needed; on the other hand, it is difficult for college students to find jobs, and they cannot go to the grassroots level if they want to. This problem is formed after long-term accumulation and precipitation. To solve this problem, it is not enough to provide ideological education to college students and guide them to change their thinking and lower their values. It will not work just to let college students and universities work hard. Governments at all levels must take responsibility and formulate and implement new policies. A proactive, more scientific and more attractive grassroots employment policy, and the implementation of every encouragement and assistance measure, can ensure that college students can be employed and retained.
5. Suggestions for future development
How to attract more college students to find jobs at the grassroots level. First, optimize policies and broaden the talent entrance. It is necessary to strengthen the coordination between urban and rural areas and enrich and increase the number of people employed at the grassroots level. At present, at the grassroots level in many areas, not only are there a shortage of funds, but there is also a serious shortage of teachers, technicians, doctors and other professional talents. If our policies can be more favorable, we can relax the staffing restrictions in these places and allow more college students Getting the opportunity to work in rural areas not only has far-reaching political significance, but also has important practical significance. For college students who are interested in working at the grassroots level, as long as they have expertise and meet the needs of rural areas, they must actively create conditions, reduce assessment procedures, simplify recruitment procedures, cancel dispensable formulaic and mechanized routines, and absorb as much as possible.
The second is to improve basic conditions and create a good environment. Why are college students unwilling to work at the grassroots level? It is because the conditions at the grassroots level are not only difficult, but also the wages and benefits are low. Therefore, government departments at all levels should work together to take measures to improve the environment so that college students can be retained. At the same time, we should vigorously develop grassroots management and service positions, provide salary or living subsidies to graduates who work at the grassroots level in rural areas and urban communities, and participate in social insurance as required. Let the college students who go to the grassroots level not only have a place to use themselves, but also have opportunities for development and improvement. Not only can they come with ease, but they can also stay with peace of mind and take root.
The third is to establish an information platform and improve service measures. The professional advantages of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security should be brought into play, and the powerful information function and social influence of the government network should be used to build a network from university education to training of migrant workers, from the introduction of high-end talents to ordinary workers seeking employment, from the recruitment of civil servants to the individual private sector. Enterprise Recruitment, a comprehensive network platform covering all employment groups, centrally and uniformly publishes "Talent Weather Forecast", allowing all types of job seekers to see the most true, accurate and clear employment information in a timely manner, so as to accurately evaluate and position themselves , choose the right career direction, do not take the wrong path, and do not be deceived by false information.
