On the occasion of the intensive convening of the local two sessions in 2026, "stabilizing employment" and "strengthening people's livelihoods" have become the core keywords of local government work reports. The reporter found that precise employment security and the improvement and expansion of "one elderly, one small" services have become the core directions of this year's livelihood "roadmap". How to carry out stable employment work in 2026? The work reports of many local governments have listed the implementation of the "stabilizing employment, expanding capacity, and improving quality action" and employment goals at the forefront of the people's livelihood list. This year's work report of the Beijing Municipal Government pointed out that the implementation of the action plan to stabilize employment, expand capacity and improve quality will result in no less than 280000 new urban jobs. Stabilize the employment of key groups such as college graduates, provide no less than 100000 job opportunities for college graduates, and maintain the dynamic zero of zero employment families. The work report of the Guangdong Provincial Government clearly states that stabilizing employment should be given priority, with over 1.1 million new urban jobs created; Implement the action of stabilizing employment, expanding capacity and improving quality, continue to implement phased measures such as stable employment return, social security subsidies, and special loans, strengthen policy support for industries and enterprises that absorb more employment, fully tap the potential of the service industry to absorb employment, and actively cultivate more new professions and positions. The work report of Shanxi Provincial Government proposes that by 2026, Shanxi Province will focus on ensuring and improving people's livelihoods, promoting employment and income increase for residents. The implementation of the 'stabilizing employment, expanding capacity and improving quality action' is in line with the long-standing employment policy, exploring new positions and seeking new opportunities, which is a new solution to the current employment situation and structural contradictions. It helps various regions to expand new growth points in employment around new quality productivity, new consumption hotspots, major engineering projects and other fields, providing solid guarantees for stabilizing employment work. ”Zhang Chenggang, Director of the China New Employment Forms Research Center at Capital University of Economics and Business, said. Skill enhancement has become a key link in stabilizing employment and promoting income growth for workers. By 2025, the "Skills Illuminate the Future" training campaign has achieved significant results, highlighting key areas and groups, and conducting subsidized training for over 11 million people throughout the year. In order to optimize training supply and promote the close connection between talent cultivation and employment, many regions have detailed this year's skills training work in their government work reports. Shandong Province proposed to carry out the "Technology Promotes Qilu and Leye in Shandong" training, with 400000 people trained throughout the year; Guangdong Province proposes to actively carry out vocational skills improvement training, establish a strong industry education evaluation skills ecological chain, and promote the high-quality and distinctive development of vocational education; Zhejiang Province has conducted vocational skills training for 50000 key groups, including job demand, skill training, skill evaluation, and employment services. Previously, Zhai Tao, Deputy Director of the Vocational Capacity Building Department of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, stated that this year, based on last year's work, we will further organize and implement five training actions targeting key groups and areas, including youth skills improvement, migrant worker health service skills improvement, low altitude economic skills talent cultivation, new energy vehicle employment skills and artificial intelligence technology skills improvement, to better serve industrial development. The deployment of employment in the government work report is a precise response to the needs of people's livelihood. We should weave a dense employment service network, improve the employment support and public service system, so that those who want to work can learn employment skills, and those with skills can find their desired positions. ”Li Aihong, Chairman of Taiyuan Beiqinhao Housekeeping Service Co., Ltd., said. While making every effort to promote high-quality and full employment, the issue of ensuring the well-being of the elderly and the young has also been included in the list of key livelihood issues in many regions. Focusing on "providing for the elderly", specific measures have been proposed in many places around the construction of elderly care service networks, the improvement of long-term care insurance systems, and the implementation of actions to promote the integration of medical care and elderly care. Beijing proposes to implement relevant laws and regulations on elderly care services, improve the long-term care insurance system, establish 20 regional elderly care service centers, and add 5000 family elderly care beds; Guangdong Province has included "accelerating the establishment of a long-term care insurance system and improving the supply level of elderly care services" as one of the ten livelihood issues in the province by 2026, and proposed goals such as "developing elderly meal assistance services according to local conditions" and "achieving a medical and elderly care integration service rate of over 40% for people aged 65 and above"; Zhejiang Province proposes to add 30000 new degrees from senior universities (schools) and develop 100 new courses in elderly education such as artificial intelligence and health care; Shanxi Province proposes to renovate and expand 50 community elderly care projects and township (street) regional elderly care centers. In terms of early childhood education, many provinces have also mentioned aspects such as maternity insurance, maternity leave, and childcare services. Shandong Province has proposed the "Action Plan for Improving the Quality of Childcare Services", while Guangdong Province has set specific goals such as "building 5 municipal comprehensive childcare service centers and 10 county-level childcare service institutions". Song Xinmei, Chairman of Taiyuan Sanjin Building Co., Ltd., stated that "one elderly and one young" is related to the happiness and sense of achievement of every family. The government work report attaches great importance to elderly care, childbirth, nurturing, and education issues, reflecting the local government's keen attention to people's livelihood. Experts point out that with the gradual implementation of livelihood measures in various regions and the precise allocation of fiscal "money bags" to the livelihood field, by 2026, a livelihood landscape with support for employment, security for elderly care, and assistance for childcare is accelerating, which will further enhance people's sense of gain and happiness.
