June 29, Economic Daily Jin Guanping: Recently, the State Council issued the "15th Five-Year Plan for Implementing the Employment Priority Strategy", clearly proposing to "broaden the development channels for flexible employment and new employment forms" and emphasizing "maintaining flexible employment and new employment forms"."The legitimate rights and interests of workers" will eliminate the worries of practitioners, inject more certainty into flexible employment and new employment forms, and further promote the healthy development of flexible employment and new employment forms. Flexible employment and new employment forms have low entry and exit barriers and strong vitality, and have become important "reservoirs" for attracting employment. Data from the All-China Federation of Trade Unions shows that there are about 84 million workers in new employment forms; according to data from the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, the number of flexible employment workers in China exceeded 200 million last year. Platform enterprises must truly consolidate their responsibilities and strengthen governance, which is an important prerequisite for the healthy development of flexible employment and new employment forms. The platform should incorporate dispatch logic, income calculation, and distribution routes into negotiation topics to better protect workers 'rights to know, participate, and choose; it is not allowed to deliberately lengthen the employment chain through joining, agency contracting, etc., or allow workers to register for individual industrial and commercial households to become commercial entities to avoid labor relations and pass on employment risks.
