China’s efforts to create more jobs pay off: minister

China’s proactive employment policies and measures in the wake of the financial crisis have generated positive results, Yin Weimin, Minister of Human Resources and Social Security, said on Saturday.

China is expected to create over 11 million jobs in 2009, well above the target set in March this year, Yin said.

In a most important measure taken since the beginning of this year, millions of enterprises nationwide had been allowed to delay the payment of enterprise-contributed social security funds for up to six months, said Yin.

China’s social security system is made up of five parts — pension insurance, medical insurance, work injury insurance, unemployment insurance and maternity insurance.

The measure also temporarily lowered the insurance rates for medical, work injury, unemployment and maternity. In the meantime, the government offered subsidies over the payment of social security funds for enterprises which were in financial difficulties.

Yin told Xinhua that this measure alone had eased corporate burden by nearly 33.9 billion yuan ($5 billion) in the first 10 months this year and more than 1.6 million enterprises had benefited from this measure.

According to Yin, China had generated 10.13 million new jobs in urban areas in the first eleven months, exceeding the government’s target of 9 million new jobs for the entire year.

The urban unemployment rate would likely stand at 4.3 percent by the end of this year, which also met the target of below 4.6 percent set in March, he said.

In 2008, China’s urban unemployment rate was 4.2 percent.

Beijing on global hunt for forex reserves managers

BEIJING, CHINA: China has kicked off its first global hiring campaign for money managers to help invest its US$2.3 trillion (S$3.2 trillion) of foreign exchange reserves, the world’s largest stockpile, an official said.

The State Administration of Foreign Exchange (Safe) is seeking to improve returns on its bulging reserves and it recognises that the tumult in global financial markets has left many bankers looking for new jobs, a Safe official told Reuters.

‘It is time for us to hunt talent from overseas financial markets, as the post-crisis economic outlook becomes clear to financial professionals and their institutions,’ said the official, who declined to be named.

The administration posted job advertisements on its website in October for positions ranging from portfolio managers to research staff, though the hiring campaign has remained low-key so far. The official declined to say how many foreigners Safe hopes to bring on board.

Analysts said the global hiring campaign was part of the agency’s drive to diversify China’s currency reserves, a long-standing official goal. ‘With our foreign exchange reserves growing, the team of staff that manages the reserve assets should also be strengthened,’ said Professor Ding Zhijie at the University of International Business and Economics.

China Investment Corp, the country’s US$300 billion sovereign wealth fund, has staged two rounds of global hiring since its inception in 2007.

Safe employs about 200 reserve managers, 80 per cent of whom hold master’s degrees or higher and 40 per cent of whom hold internationally recognised professional certificates.

Simply Hired launches Web site for China

Job search engine Simply Hired said it launched a localized destination Web site for China.

Mountain View-based Simply Hired said its expansion broadens its Asia presence and joins localized job Web sites in 16 other countries across five continents and in nine languages.

Through its partnership with Mountain View-based LinkedIn, Simply Hired China will also allow job seekers to find connections they have within companies.

Shanghai to recruit overseas financial talents

A delegation of financial organizations in Shanghai started a global recruiting tour Friday afternoon, hoping to fill 115 vacancies by the end of the trip.

The 17 organizations will hold three job fairs overseas, or in New York on Dec. 5, Toronto on Dec. 9 and Singapore on Dec. 13, to recruit high level financial talents.

A similar move last year brought 66 financial talents to the city, of whom five are enlisted in a national program on hiring overseas specialists and each enjoys 1 million yuan (146,400 U.S. dollars) in subsidies from the central government.

Ji Wenguan, head of Shanghai Financial Work Commission, told Xinhua that the Shanghai municipal government was planning to provide support of housing, insurance and education for the talents.

Tax cuts would also be provided for them, said Fang Xing, director of Shanghai Finance Office.

Fang said “Talents and innovation are prerequisite to building Shanghai into an international financial center.”

“It is a golden opportunity to do creative work here, work that can really make a difference, as the financial sector is developing rapidly in China,” said Hua Lei, who was recruited last year and is now supervisor of high-end wealth management at Orient Securities.

In addition, the education and medical care level in Shanghai was as good as anywhere else in the world, Hua said.

“Our payment package is competitive and flexible in the global market,” said Yang Qingzhong, human resource manager of Haitong Securities Co., Ltd.

Yang said his company was very satisfied with the performance of the high level talents recruited last year and was offering seven more important posts this time, including manager of assets management division.

Bank of Communications, Shanghai Stock Exchange, Haitong Securities Co., Ltd and other big names in the Chinese financial sector are among the 17 recruiting organizations.
