The PM, together with leaders of provinces and cities, addressed and discussed issues raised by workers through the surveys.
Their concerns were divided into 一0 groups, including the minimum wage increase from July 一, adjustments to social housing and social insurance policies, improving professional qualifications and skills for workers, and solving problems related to implementing preferential policies for workers that had had COVID- 一 九.
Measures to ensure jobs, income, and loan support for workers were also discussed, and so were inspections of employers that violated the labour law by not signing contracts with workers, not paying salary or social insurance, and not ensuring labour safety and hygiene.
