China to train 60 million rural laborers before 2010
( 2003-09-27 22:03) (Xinhua)
China aims to train some 60
million rural laborers from 2003 to 2010, according to sources with a national
forum on rural unemployment in this southwestern municipality Saturday.
Early in September, six ministries including the Ministry of Agriculture and
the Ministry of Labor and Social Security jointly launched a rural laborer
training plan to help China's under- educated rural laborers gain professional
skills and find urban employment.
The plan also includes a program providing professional training to the 200
million rural laborers who have already been employed in urban regions.
Statistics show that China now has some 150 million redundant rural laborers
and the number increases by six million every year.
Only 9.1 percent of the rural laborers have received professional training,
making it difficult for rural laborers to find stable urban
employment.
