Features: The 15th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed accelerating the market-oriented process of the national economy, developing various markets, and focusing on the development of capital, labor, technology, and other production factor markets, as well as improving the pricing mechanisms for production factors. The labor market has become dominant, holding an important position in the entire socialist market economy system. Labor, as the most dynamic production factor, should also have a dynamic market. Labor resources are one of China's most abundant resources, and their development, utilization, and rational allocation, as well as the establishment and improvement of market employment mechanisms, are particularly important in China. Comrade Jiang Zemin pointed out at the Central Re-employment Work Conference in May 1998 that "under the conditions of developing a socialist market economy, to achieve the optimal allocation of production factors and the shift of enterprises' operational modes from extensive to intensive, it is necessary to establish a labor employment mechanism that is to these requirements."
