Chinas employment problem is different than that of other developed countries that are mainly faced with the problem of employing young laborers. The Ministry of Labor and Social Security collected supply and demand information on the labor market from the public employment service organizations of 102 cities distributed across various regions throughout the country which accounted for approximately 180 million urban residents, or more than 47% of the national urban populations. Employment is driven by economic growth, and at the same time, employment can also promote economic development. The Employment Promotion Law is an important law that promotes the establishment of a socialist harmonious society, provides legal safeguards for China to implement a positive employment policy, and further perfects the legal labor security system of China. This employment legislation draws from the experience of various countries, while also integrating those conditions specific to China.
