Analysis on the development status and challenges of new employment patterns under the epidemic

Abstract

Since the communique of the Fifth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee and the 2016 Government Work report mentioned "strengthening support for flexible employment and new forms of employment", that is, the concept of "new forms of employment" was first proposed, the policy improvement work on all levels of "new forms of employment" has been carried out in an orderly manner. Through the efforts of labor unions at all levels, the degree of organization of workers in new employment forms is constantly increasing. Data show that by the end of 2021, the number of newly developed and new employment forms of labor union members in China had exceeded 3.5 million, and 12 leading enterprises in 4 key industries had all established unions. However, in order for the new employment form worker group to more fully fight for their own interests, more platform enterprises and more new employment form workers need to actively participate in it, overcome the time and space problems of membership, fight for the rights and interests of their own groups, and create better new employment form development.
