Status: 23.06.2021 3:43 p.m.

Once into space – many have the dream. More than 22,000 people want to become astronauts and have applied to the European space agency ESA. However, this dream will only come true for six candidates. More than 22,000 people want a job in space: That’s how many applications the European Space Agency ESA received for astronaut training, the ESA announced. Among them are 3700 applicants from Germany. By the deadline last Friday, 5,400 women applied, which is a share of 24 percent – nine percentage points more than in the last call in 2008.

A “tough competition” for the dream job

The number of applicants also increased overall: in 2008 around 8,400 people were interested in training at ESA, less than half as many as now. The space agency now wants to select four to six candidates for astronaut training from the pool by October 2022 – but also a “reserve” of up to 20 people. ESA Director General Josef Aschbacher spoke of tough competition. “It is a dream job to be an astronaut.”

The selection process has six stages – the skills of the candidates are examined with, among other things, tests in the cognitive and technical areas. Applicants must have at least a master’s degree in natural sciences, engineering, mathematics or computer science. There are requirements for height, the age limit is 50 years. The new space crew should not be known until the end of next year.

For the first time also “para-astronauts”

For the first time, the space agency also wants to train so-called para-astronauts – those with physical impairments such as short stature or a handicap of the legs. More than 200 applications were received for this.

The role model for many is the German astronaut Alexander Gerst, who became known as “Astro-Alex”. He spent around half a year on the International Space Station ISS in 2014 and 2018. On his second mission, he was the first German to take command of the space station

Today, when the pressure of social competition is accelerating, so-called irregular working time mechanisms such as the “996 work system” have been derived. Some people say that this is a kind of blessing that allows young people to grow up quickly. Others say that this is a shortcut to self-destruction.

Is the “996 work system” really a blessing? Entering the era of digital economy, what changes will corporate organizations have? Sohu Business School talked with Lv Shousheng, president of the Beijing Chinese and Foreign Enterprise Human Resources Association. Lv Shousheng believes that corporate competition is becoming increasingly fierce, and some companies with strong sense of crisis and weak profitability have to work overtime to adapt to this competition. To a certain extent, proper overtime can help to enhance the competitiveness of enterprises, but excessive overtime can harm work efficiency to a certain extent.

Talking about the obstacles that Chinese companies face in “going out”, Lu Shousheng said that some countries have set many restrictions on the investment of Chinese companies, especially some industry associations and trade unions, which are full of vigilance about the entry of Chinese companies. “Some companies worry that we will move their technology to China in the course of mergers and acquisitions, thereby reducing local production. Therefore, they have doubts about our investment sincerity.”

According to Lu Shousheng, the “Going Global” of Weichai Group, where he belongs, is a successful case. Weichai is an international company with cross-field and cross-industry operations. It has power systems, automotive business, construction machinery, intelligent logistics, agricultural equipment, marine transportation equipment and other business sectors around the world. Its subsidiaries are in Europe, North America, Asia and other regions. , Products are exported to more than 110 countries and regions.

Lv Shousheng said that Weichai Group began its international exploration in 2009. In this process, The first is to be good at using international talents; the second is to establish a regular exchange mechanism for talents; the third is to do a good job in cultural communication and integration. Because the integration of cultures and people in different regions takes time, we must use the spirit of responsibility, communication, tolerance, and innovation to promote the two sides to reach consensus when differences arise.

The “14th Five-Year Plan” announced on March 12 and the 2035 long-term goal clearly stated that the statutory retirement age will be gradually delayed. What is the impact of delayed retirement on the job market? Lu Shousheng said that the overall situation of delaying retirement has been determined. In the future, it will be common for people in their 50s and 60s to find jobs in the job market. The silver hair market will gradually rise in the future, which is a useful supplement to the current shortage of talent market and labor supply.

Lu Shousheng believes that To deal with delayed retirement, companies need to provide timely training to people of similar ages. Some employees are limited by knowledge and skills, and have insufficient grasp of the new economy, especially digital capabilities. Companies should do some counseling and training early in this regard to avoid them Fall behind prematurely.

Second, create as many opportunities as possible to give full play to the talents of the elderly. Third, companies should strengthen health management and energy management, such as providing fitness facilities, enhancing the physical fitness of employees, and regularly arranging physical examinations to prevent them from getting too early. The exhaustion of physical function; the last thing is to do a good job of career guidance to prevent employees from not reaching the age of retirement, but they think of retirement early in their minds.

The following is a compilation of interviews:

Sohu Finance: 996, large and small work week, what are the underlying reasons for the existence of overtime culture in Chinese companies? From the perspective of corporate management, can it really improve corporate efficiency and competitiveness?

Lu Shousheng: At present, the competition among industries is very fierce. Companies mainly want to improve their competitiveness and increase output. They often actively and passively let employees work overtime. Some companies have unmatched advantages in natural resources, business models, core technologies, and customer acquisition. In this case, these companies do not need to work overtime.

However, some companies have a strong sense of crisis and relatively weak profitability. In addition, the production rhythm and production tasks are relatively heavy, and they have to work overtime to adapt to this competition. To a certain extent, proper overtime can help improve the efficiency and competitiveness of enterprises. Excessive overtime is not enough, which will damage work efficiency to a certain extent.

Sohu Finance: Excellent Chinese companies such as Huawei and ByteDance often face local policy challenges and pressures when going overseas. What do you think is the most important problem that Chinese companies need to solve in the process of internationalization?

Lu Shousheng: First of all, we must understand and understand the local employment policies and business rules, pay attention to cultural differences, and avoid discomfort.

Secondly, Chinese and foreign companies also have differences in personnel dismissal. European companies have relatively strong trade unions, and it is often very troublesome for companies to dismiss a person. But in China, the entry and exit of corporate personnel is relatively flexible.

Some countries have set many restrictions on the investment of Chinese companies in order to protect local industries. In particular, some industry associations and trade unions are full of vigilance about the entry of Chinese companies, and even doubt the sincerity of investment. These are obstacles that Chinese companies have to face in “going out”.

Sohu Finance: What are the successful examples of companies in the process of internationalization?

Lu Shousheng: The Weichai Group I serve now, their “going out” is a good case. Weichai Group began its international exploration in 2009, and successively acquired French company Baudouin with a history of 100 years. In the process of integration, many companies lost money at the beginning of mergers and acquisitions. However, through domestic and foreign linkages, we have achieved a turnaround from loss to profit, and achieved industrial synergy.

In the process of Weichai’s going global, the first is to be good at making use of international talents. The second is to establish a regular exchange mechanism for talents. We will invite the heads of overseas investment companies to the Chinese headquarters or affiliated companies for visits, learning, and exchanges. At the same time, high-potential talents cultivated in China are sent abroad to participate in their project learning process like a shadow plan.

The third is to do a good job in cultural communication and integration. Finally, the employees of Chinese local companies learn how foreign countries pay attention to quality and quality process optimization, so as to enhance our own management capabilities and increase the practical experience of the front line.

Sohu Finance: Compared with Western management models, what are the characteristics of Chinese management models and what practical results have they achieved? What aspects need to be learned from Western managers?

Lu Shousheng: It is difficult to have a unified definition of Chinese-style business management, let alone any standard. Chinese companies emphasize authoritative leadership, and employees have a strong sense of awe and respect for leaders. The West is relatively democratic. In terms of decision-making mechanisms and strategy formation, more emphasis is placed on teamwork.

Secondly, with regard to management style, the West favors a coaching style of leadership, that is, I teach you how to do it. In China, the leadership style is more command-based, that is, I say you do it. Chinese-style management has a strong affinity, and the West emphasizes equality and fairness. What needs to be learned from the West is to play the role of a coach, do less preaching, and provide more guidance instead of telling the answer directly.

Sohu Finance: Three years after Pinduoduo went public, Huang Zheng resigned as chairman, completing the exit of all the founders. How should we evaluate the impact of the founder’s exit on the company?

Lu Shousheng: The founder’s withdrawal from the company may be due to other pursuits of the founder. This is a proactive action, such as Wang Shi withdrawing from Vanke, Jack Ma withdrawing from Alibaba, and Huang Zheng withdrawing from Pinduoduo. Some of these withdrawals are motivated by personal hobbies, and some are motivated by the pursuit of other life values ​​and higher missions.

Some companies have made preparations for this a long time ago, such as Vanke’s Yu Liang and other managements, who are familiar with the company’s governance structure, management capabilities, company culture, and operating mechanism. Therefore, the exit of the founder will not have a major adverse impact on the company, but will be beneficial to the iteration and growth of talents.

Sohu Finance: The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security has made it clear that the statutory retirement age will be gradually delayed. What is the impact of delayed retirement on the job market? As a company’s HR, how to deal with delayed retirement and what preparations should be made?

Lu Shousheng: The society needs to emphasize flexible employment, which means that people who are older but still have a good skill can continue to work. Companies should pay attention to employees’ innovation, willingness to work, and vitality. They cannot be one size fits all, but only look at age.

In the future, it will be more common for people in their 50s and 60s to get new job opportunities in the job market, and the silver hair market will gradually rise. This will be a useful supplement to our current shortage of talent market and labor supply, and it will also ease relatively speaking. The gospel of labor shortage and talent shortage.

First, companies must provide timely training to people of similar ages. Some personnel are limited by knowledge and skills, and have insufficient grasp of the new economy, especially digital capabilities. Companies must do some counseling and training early in this regard to avoid them prematurely The lagging behind.

Second, create as many opportunities as possible to give full play to the talents of the elderly. Third, companies should strengthen health management and energy management, such as providing certain fitness facilities, enhancing the physical and physical fitness of employees, and arranging regular physical examinations to prevent them from premature physical failure, and to prepare for a longer term. .

The last thing is to do a good job of guidance to prevent employees from thinking about retirement early in their hearts before they reach the age of retirement. Companies need to clarify their own mechanisms to provide better opportunities for older, but still vigorous and energetic employees.

Sohu Finance: Has the company’s requirements for outstanding employees changed under the influence of the long-term epidemic? Under the global market environment, how do companies carry out the strategic layout of talents?

Lu Shousheng: The first requirement for outstanding employees is performance. The second is strong learning ability and innovation ability. The third is attitude. Outstanding employees often have a strong sense of professionalism, collaboration, and teamwork.

Under the influence of the epidemic, some companies hope that outstanding employees can be more resilient and not give up because of temporary difficulties, which may cause doubt or frustration about the company. Excellent employees must be able to actively adapt to this change and turn the crisis into vitality. , Turn pressure into motivation. Excellent employees are those who seldom complain about the objective environment and will proactively look for opportunities.

If an enterprise has a globalization and internationalization strategy, it must reserve talents in advance. For example, whether the selected managers have bilingual communication skills, and whether they have a certain understanding of the international business environment. In addition, as the international situation continues to change, globalization issues are temporarily facing some challenges. Enterprises cannot change their determination to globalize. Under such circumstances, the acquisition and preparation of talents must be advanced, rather than behind closed doors.

Here, mussels are not only a specialty dish with a famous brand throughout the country, but thanks to that, people have a fairly stable income. Every day, thanks to mussels, a section of La River in Ben Hen village is as bustling as a miniature market. Present in Ben Hen village, witnessing the busy buying and selling scene, besides in the village, the stoves boiling mussels smoke and the aroma from boiled mussels spreads throughout the whole area. The smokey mussels boiling stoves in Ben Hen Boiling mussels in a hut, Nguyen Thi Hoa, from Ben Hen village, Truong Son commune, Duc Tho district (Ha Tinh), said: “I don’t know when this profession was formed, only know that generations People in Ben Hen village, when born and grow up, all follow each other in the profession of raking mussels and boiling mussels. All expenses in life, building houses, buying supplies, taking care of their children and grandchildren’s education, all depend on income from mussel farming. According to Ms. Hoa, in the past, mussel making was difficult, very hard, all day long, husband and wife, brothers and sisters were stuck in the river, just worried about making enough to eat, did not have enough money, because at that time the price of mussels was too cheap. About 10 years ago, when mussels became a clean food, a popular specialty, the price was high, so the mussel industry in Ben Hen is growing strongly and bringing a good source of income. determined for the people. Ben Hen is growing stronger and bringing a fairly stable source of income The reason is called the profession “going backward” because in the past, mussel making was not as modern as it is now, to catch mussels, people had to use a rake with a rectangular trough, 1-1.5m long handle to rake. The rake just went backwards and shook it to treat the mussels. Now, just sitting on a motorboat, plugging a rake into the sand and then running the engine along the river a few times, there are dozens of kilograms of mussels. Because the value of mussels is high and the mussels in Ben Hen have affirmed their brand, many traders have come to the place to buy in large quantities and then transport them everywhere for consumption. Thanks to that, mussel workers do not have to worry about output, raking as much as they can consume. The mussel fishing season lasts almost all year round, but the peak season and the most mussels are from January to June of the lunar calendar. Ben Hen village currently has 150 households living by raking mussels – a job “going backwards”. Ben Hen village currently has 150 households living by raking mussels – a job that “goes backward”, sunbathing with his back, his face in the water all day, and working hard at night picking and washing mussels. Although it is less difficult than before, the job of making mussels requires health, perseverance and hard work. After scraping, all mussels are used up, the shells are gathered and calcined into lime for construction, agricultural production or finely milled as food for chickens and ducks; mussel intestine used to process dishes; Mussels are used to make soup. Mr. Nguyen Quang Tuan, a resident of Ben Hen told reporters about the process of making mussels. He said: “We men, who are healthy, go on a motorboat to rake mussels on the river, on average 2-3 people per boat. And women stay at home to soak mussels, boil mussels, treat mussels clean… Every day, work usually starts from 2-3 am until late afternoon”. Mussels enrich the whole village Sharing with reporters, Ms. Nguyen Thi Sen, who has been involved in this profession for a long time, said: “Mussels are “a blessing from heaven” given to these villagers, my whole family has been working as mussel rakes for 4 generations on the La River. I also ate mussels but grew up, so even though I worked hard, I still had to keep the traditional profession of the village, “said Ms. Sen. Currently, mussels here are considered a clean specialty Ms. Nguyen Thi Hoa, a resident of Hen wharf confided: “In the past, every day my husband and I just needed to go along the La River to rake a few tons of mussels, but now the mussel production is increasingly depleted, so people have to overcome kilometers along the river Ngan Sau, Ngan Pho or upstream Ben Thuy bridge (Vinh City) to bring back mussels. According to Mr. Tuan, in the peak season, there are boats raking more than 1 ton of mussels/day, the remaining average is 300-600kg/boat. The average income from making mussels is about 500,000 – 1 million VND/house/day. Compared to other occupations, this is the profession that is bringing in the highest and most stable income, creating many jobs for people… Especially, mussels here are now considered a clean specialty with economic value. high so people are very secure to stick to the job.

Workshop “Solutions to bring the Press Law to life” organized by Thanh Hoa Journalists Association in collaboration with the North Central Region Journalists Association (2016). Photo: Documentation Speaking at the 10th National Congress of the Vietnam Journalists Association, General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong emphasized: “The profession of journalism is a noble and sacred profession. Every journalist is a soldier. Revolutionary journalists must have a revolutionary spirit, that is, the spirit of attack, struggle to eliminate the bad, protect the good, for the common cause of the country and the people. The General Secretary directed the press to make an effective contribution to the formation of healthy public opinion, building the bravery, intelligence, soul and mettle of the Vietnamese people in the new era, contributing to promoting and supporting the Vietnamese people. create the strength of unity, unity and consensus of the whole nation. To fulfill that requirement, over the past time, the Vietnamese revolutionary press under the leadership of the Party has made a strong transformation in the direction of being more streamlined, journalists-journalists have constantly trained, strived and continued to work. keep holding yourself to be stronger, more effective. The most prominent of which is the implementation of the National Press Development and Management Plan to 2025 according to the Prime Minister’s Decision No. 362/QD-TTg dated April 3, 2019 and the second quarter of 2021. The press agency in the planning area has completed the dissolution and merger to enter a new stage of development more effectively, including the press agency of Thanh Hoa province.

By the beginning of 2021, Thanh Hoa has 360 journalist members living in 5 journalist associations under Thanh Hoa Journalists Association. Along with that, there are dozens of representative offices and permanent offices of the Central press agency with nearly 100 journalists working in the area. This is an advantage but also causes many difficulties in the management, gathering and building of a team, especially in supervising the professional ethics of journalist members. Since this issue requires along with strict implementation of the provisions of the law on the press, the implementation of professional ethics of journalists must also be one step higher. Accordingly, in the past time, along with consolidating and improving the operational efficiency of the Council for handling violations of professional ethics of Vietnamese journalists in Thanh Hoa province, attaching the responsibilities of each member to the field and position of the Vietnamese journalist. Working positions at directing, management and press agencies, Thanh Hoa Journalists Association has proposed to build a mechanism for coordination between three agencies, including the Provincial Party Committee’s Propaganda Department, the Department of Information and Communication. and the Association of Journalists to create greater strength and unity in directing, managing and gathering journalists in the area.

Supply Chain Act What Bangladesh workers hope for

Status: 11.06.2021 11:59 a.m.

With the supply chain law, textile workers in Bangladesh now expect concrete improvements in their job conditions – in an industry for which millions of people work. Peter Hornung, ARD studio South Asia Anju Begum expects a lot from the German supply chain law. “ Once this law is in place, we will be able to take maternity leave with financial benefits, including overtime pay and other facilities, “she says.” We want this law to be implemented. ” Begum is a brave woman. She is 57 and has been working in a textile factory called Jesus Fashion Limited in Bangladesh’s capital Dhaka for twelve years. She has been elected head of the works council several times, most recently three months ago.

“Always threatened with dismissal”

“We are facing a lot of difficulties,” says Anju Begum. “The factory doesn’t have enough work. That’s why we’re always threatened with firing. The management has repeatedly postponed our demands and unsolved problems.” Now the workforce is exerting pressure on the factory owner through the trade unions – which is now also having an effect. The head of the works council was actually able to achieve a lot for the workers: clean drinking water, functioning fans so that work is bearable even now in the heat, and emergency exits that are no longer blocked as they used to be. But there are many things that are not so easy to enforce. Anju believes that the fact that there is now a lever that can be used with German customers changes a lot.

Most of the time women work in the factories

“Once this law is in place, we will be able to share our complaints with buyers when they visit,” she says. “You will also find out that we have been informed of the new law.” Four and a half million people work in Bangladesh’s clothing industry, most of them women. The collapse of the Rana Plaza building eight years ago highlighted the conditions in the textile factories. More than 1100 people were killed at that time. The German Society for International Cooperation (GIZ) says that things have improved a lot since then. There are new laws that are also being enforced. Nevertheless, the country still lags behind international standards in many ways. And that’s why the new German law is raising high hopes in Bangladesh – including Kalpona Akter, one of the country’s best-known worker activists.

New possibility of lawsuits

“ A supply chain law like this is really necessary in order to really hold companies accountable, “says Akter.” For us as a union, there is currently no way of holding German companies responsible. With such a law, we could also sue companies in Germany. That would be very, very helpful and would open a new window for the protection of the workers. ” However, the factory owners are much less enthusiastic, but they do not want to speak in front of the microphone. In conversation with the ARD – Studio South Asia says a manager that he is anything but comfortable with the new law – precisely because the possibilities for legal action for the workers’ representatives would be significantly expanded. In addition, it is to be feared that German customers will now put increased pressure on them.

Domestic workers have been severely affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. (Photo: ILO) In Vietnam, domestic workers are now subject to labor laws, but the challenge that Vietnam currently faces is compliance with the law. These are the comments of the International Labor Organization (ILO) in its latest report published on June 15. On the occasion of International Labor Day Domestic Workers (June 16), the ILO released the Report Making Decent Work a Reality for Domestic Workers: Progress and Prospects in Asia and the Pacific Duong. The report shows that, ten years after the adoption of the Domestic Workers Convention of 2011 (Convention No. 189), the majority of domestic workers in the Asia-Pacific region ( 61.5%) are still completely out of the scope of national labor laws while 84.3% of them still work in informal jobs. The absence of national labor laws and the high level of informality continue to severely affect the working conditions of domestic workers in the Asia-Thailand region. Binh Duong. More than 50% of domestic workers are concentrated in the Asia-Pacific region Chihoko Asada Miyakawa, Director of the ILO Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific, said that there is an urgent need to formalize domestic work in Asia and the Pacific, starting with employment. domestic help is regulated by labor law and social security to ensure this important worker enjoys the protection and respect they deserve. The Philippines is the only country in the Asia-Pacific region that has ratified the Domestic Labor Convention ten years after its ratification. According to statistics, the Asia-Pacific region has 38.3 million domestic workers aged 15 and over (of which 78.4% are female), equivalent to 50.6% of domestic workers. families around the world, and this is the largest employer of domestic workers worldwide. In which, China accounts for the majority of these workers (22 million). This is also the region that employs the most male domestic workers, accounting for 46.1% of the male labor rate. families around the world. The data shows that the majority of domestic workers in the region are not subject to any limits on working hours (71%) or enjoy weekly leave (64%) under the provisions of the Labor Code. current labor law. The report also shows that domestic workers are often the lowest paid in the labor market, especially when they work in the informal sector. It is estimated that the Covid-19 pandemic has had a major impact on domestic workers in the Asia-Pacific region due to the high level of informality and the lack of protections provided for in the law. leading to job loss. Their risk of losing their job is 2-3 times higher than that of other workers. Domestic workers in Vietnam need to be protected in practice Vietnam is one of the few countries in the region bringing domestic workers under the scope of labor law. The Labor Code 2019 and the accompanying Decree No. 145/2000/ND-CP stipulate that family workers must have a written contract that meets certain standards, including limits on working hours. and rest time. Among Southeast Asian countries, only in Vietnam are domestic workers entitled to a minimum wage at least equal to the minimum wage for other workers. According to ILO Vietnam Director, Dr. Chang-Hee Lee, although Vietnam has made significant progress, which includes bringing domestic workers under the protection of the labor law, But the challenge facing today is how to strengthen compliance with the law and close the gap between the protections provided in the law and the actual experience of domestic workers. According to a new ILO report, 19% of domestic workers in Vietnam work through service providers, and the number of domestic workers migrating abroad has continuously increased over the past decade. by. Since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, domestic workers have become much more vulnerable to job loss than other types of workers. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2019, the rate of domestic workers decreased by 17% in the second quarter of 2020, while the unemployment rate of other hired workers in the same period was only 6.1%. . In parallel with some domestic workers losing their jobs, others have reduced working hours. Both of these situations lead to a significant reduction in total wages received. In the second quarter of 2020, the working hours of domestic workers in Vietnam decreased by 24.7% compared to the fourth quarter of 2019. Due to job loss and reduced working hours, the wages that laborers earn Domestic helpers in Vietnam received decreased by 26.2%. By 2026, Vietnam is expected to ratify the ILO Domestic Workers Convention (Convention No. 189). In the Asia-Pacific region, there are still 61.5% of domestic workers who are not subject to labor laws. – 84.3% of domestic workers in the informal sector work in informal work, while this figure for other workers is 52.8%. – 64% of domestic workers in the Asia-Pacific region are not entitled to weekly leave…

The switch to electric vehicles will affect at least 178,000 jobs in the German auto industry. Photo: VNA Ifo’s research presents a number of potential challenges in the future as governments work to phase out diesel and gasoline-powered vehicles in favor of low-emissions, even zero-emission vehicles. waste. In a statement released alongside the report, Ifo said an estimated 75,000 workers in Germany’s car manufacturing sector will retire by the middle of the decade. But if by 2025, the production of cars powered by internal combustion engines falls to levels previously predicted under current emissions regulations, the switch to electric vehicles will affect little. 178,000 jobs in the German auto industry. This group, Ifo explained, would include workers manufacturing product groups directly or indirectly dependent on internal combustion engines, with 137,000 of these working directly in the auto industry. Ifo President Clemens Fuest described the transition to electric vehicles as a major challenge, especially for auto parts suppliers as midsize companies dominate the sector. . He assessed that it is important to maintain skilled jobs in the production of vehicles using internal combustion engines and electric vehicles without changing the industry structure. The report comes after the German federal government announced its ambition to have 7-10 million new registered electric vehicles in the country by the end of the decade. In January 2021, Germany’s road traffic regulator said sales of electric vehicles in Germany will be more than 194,000 units in 2020, a threefold increase from the previous year. Internationally, the European Commission has also expressed its desire to have at least 30 million zero-emissions cars on the road by 2030, as part of its “Smart and Sustainable Transport Strategy.” . According to the International Energy Agency, about 3 million new electric cars were registered last year, a record number and up 41% from 2019.

Her family’s house impresses right from the door by the gentle rose scent and gorgeous colors looking through the glass window. This nest is a gift that Mr. Huynh Trong Nghia – Thanh’s husband – spent a very long time building for his wife. Build a house according to your wife’s passion Since the age of 8, Ms. Thanh has been interested in wool and knitting. After many years of collecting, she has owned thousands of woolen rolls of all colors and materials. Ms. Thanh’s work also involves rolls of wool. She spends every day crocheting teddy bears, clothes or pictures. Her handmade products are often ordered by customers in advance, many times even sent abroad. Thousands of woolen rolls are decorated on the first floor of the house. 10 years of dating, 8 years of marriage, Mr. Nghia understands his wife’s passion. It was his wife’s love of wool that inspired Mr. Nghia to design a house for the couple. In August 2017, Mr. Nghia started calling workers to build the rough part of the house, including 1 ground floor, 1 mezzanine and 2 floors. At that time, the couple planned to complete the work in just over a year, the two would give birth to a baby and take the child home. “But the baby is now more than 1 year old, so we can live here,” Thanh said. White painted wooden shelves and cabinets highlight the vibrant colors of the wool rolls. The construction of the house lasted mainly because Mr. Nghia was careful and wanted to comply with his wife’s wishes. He first asked his wife what size furniture she wanted, then designed everything to fit into the overall space. Every decorative detail is rounded or molded, only Nghia made as meticulous as possible. Especially the chair that Ms. Thanh sits crocheting every day, Mr. Nghia studies carefully to match the height and recline of his wife. “My husband and I have experienced exactly 3 Tet holidays from the day we bought the land, and we didn’t have a house until October 2020. My friends tease me all the time ‘Oh Thanh, when will the house be finished’, ‘Can you come and play yet’ makes me laugh too. “Many people came to visit, complimented and asked about the architect’s design. I said that the whole house was conceived by Mr. Nghia himself, monitored the construction process, even… manually built the interior. But no one else. believe”, Ms. Thanh laughed when recounting. You pay attention to every little detail in the house. “I do everything for my wife” Not studying or working in the construction industry, but Mr. Nghia has an aesthetic taste and meticulous calculation. Talk to Zing Mr. Nghia said the house met about 80% of expectations. At first, he sketched the idea himself, then hired an architect to redraw it into a construction drawing. “There are specialized technical regulations that I couldn’t calculate at first, so I had to change later. If I want to do 100% of what I want, I don’t have money to do it anymore,” Mr. Nghia confided. The house took 3 years and 2 months to build and decorate. The biggest difficulty in the process of building a house is that the machining teams cannot make products according to his design. Some workers still quietly left, leaving many unfinished items. “My calculations are both from the couple’s hobbies and intentions. But the crews are only used to making things in an industrial style, then I have to fix a lot. But no matter how difficult it is, I still try to do it without changing the original intention,” Nghia said. Ms. Thanh has been passionate about wool and made crafts from wool since she was very young. The amount of money to build the rough part of the house is 800 million VND, the interior finishing is another 300 million VND. He thinks this cost is relatively economical. “Whoever comes to visit also says that making furniture will cost billions of dong, because this type of house is usually only available in villas. But my house only costs more than 300 million because most of it is for hire or self-build. All use plywood, cheap wood to close and paint white. Light colors both make the house brighter, highlight the wool rolls and hide the defects of the wood.” In the mezzanine and 2nd floor of the house, Mr. Nghia spends a lot of lovely dolls and a small room for his wife to organize workshops. In terms of costs, Mr. Nghia and Mrs. Thanh spent more than 1.1 billion VND to build their own house. However, that is not the biggest loss, because during the construction of the house, Ms. Thanh was pregnant and Mr. Nghia lost his job, both could not have a good source of income as before for 2 years. “I took time off to build a house too much, so I was fired. After quitting my job, every day I go from my parents’ house to my own house to pack my things, and only come home at 0:00 every day. My wife is very passionate, so I accept it. I do all of this for my wife,” Nghia smiled and said. Mr. Nghia and Ms. Thanh have had 10 years of dating and 8 years of marriage. Currently, they have 2 small children. When she moved to her new house, Ms. Thanh often invited her friends to play, drink tea and make crafts together. She also held a number of small workshops on the first floor to share her knitting experience. As for Mr. Nghia, he still struggles every day to find ways to decorate more furniture on the upper floors. He hopes to have enough money to fill the empty spaces with furniture, and his wife will have more room to display personal products.

Mr. Chin’s family also has a long tradition of fishing. Initially, every day with boat cruises filled with fish. So I did not eat all, and added Co To many years ago, there was no electricity to the net, so almost every family with a fishing job would have a job of making fish sauce, because that would only be able to handle the amount of fish. Rice … a lot of redundancy after each trip out to sea. Mr. Le Van Chin has worked as a fish sauce for several decades. Mr. Chin said, this profession ranged from selecting fish, making the best fish sauce which is anchovy, to the stage of brewing and distilling according to a process. Although there is a general recipe, but the workers also need a certain experience, so the same ingredients, the same recipe tools for fish sauce are the same, but some people produce delicious fish sauce products, others do not. The fish sauce factories in Co To all use ceramic jars to make fish sauce, not cement tanks, to ensure that the fish sauce in the jars is kept intact, because the fish sauce has salt, and other materials are soaked for a long time. corrosive but not in jars. When finished a batch of fish sauce, jars are cleaned and sanitized, then dried to kill bacteria before preparing a new batch of fish sauce. To make fish sauce delicious, Mr. Chin is very careful from the import of ingredients. He contracts with fishing vessels, purchasing as soon as anchovies are imported into the port early in the morning. Being a fisherman, he chooses anchovies that are fresh, bright and not damaged. Because the fish sauce must be marinated every year to be used, Mr. Chin actively imports fish at the coldest time of the year from November of the previous year to March of the following year. This is the time when anchovies are abundant, fatty, of good quality. On the other hand, due to the cold climate, fish are also best preserved. Co To anchovies are rich in protein, preliminary processing, marinated with a certain percentage of salt in the jars, Mr. Chin carefully reverses every day in the sunlight, repeating every day from 12 to 15 months. At that time, the fish can gobble up enough to produce fish sauce products. Mr. Chin said, even keeping fish in jars requires a certain experience, it is best to choose the best sunny days, not to dry on bad weather days with rain, because it only needs a few drops of rain. also ruined the jar of fish sauce. Now that the age is high, Mr. Chin only works moderately, he produces about 700 liters of fish sauce annually. His family’s fish sauce products have a reputation among the islanders, and many tourists also order them. Co To has an abundant source of raw materials to produce fish sauce. In recent years, Co To district has stepped up vocational training for people, many families have learned to do fish sauce. Ms. Phan Thi Tuyet, Hai Tien village, Dong Tien commune, after attending a seafood processing class taught by staff of the Department of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs since 2015. Having a job, Tuyet and her husband arrested her. Right hand on making fish sauce. Initially, Ms. Tuyet only made a few jars to eat gradually, then introduced it to the neighbors. Seeing that everyone praised the deliciousness, so Tuyet boldly borrowed to buy 36 jars to make fish sauce and annually produced about 3,000 liters. Co To fish sauce makers are self-conscious about food safety and hygiene to make fish sauce, that is why Co To fish sauce is a prestigious OCOP product for many tourists from near and far. When coming to Co To, when returning home, many tourists do not forget to bring back a few liters to tens of liters of fish sauce to make gifts for their family members. Even when they got home, they still contacted the Co To fish sauce maker to send the goods to them.

TikTok is growing strongly all over the world. Several tech employees in the UK have refused to pursue jobs at TikTok because of concerns about the company’s harsh, intense and toxic work culture, according to CNBC News. The six said they withdrew from interviews, turned down job offers or left the company after learning that TikTok had a culture of “996” through online reviews or through face-to-face experiences. The 996 culture is the applied pattern commonly seen in Chinese companies. The name comes from the requirement that employees work from 9am to 9pm, 6 days a week, and 72 hours per week. Meanwhile, the regulation in the US and UK is about 40 hours per week, depending on the specific work. In the UK, it is illegal to work more than 48 hours per week. Hazardous Environments “The most common problem I found on Glassdoor is the work-life balance, the crazy hours. That situation persists until now, ”said an anonymous candidate. “It doesn’t seem worth it to me. I stopped the conversations pretty quickly knowing they were less flexible in terms of location and work policies ”. Last week, TikTok announced, Chief Financial Officer Shou Zi Chew has been appointed as the new CEO, which could result in the company needing more technical manpower. An anonymous senior artificial intelligence researcher also revealed that he turned down a job offer from TikTok despite being offered a salary of £ 100,000 ($ 139,000 – $ 3.2 billion) a year, plus other treatment. “I looked it up on Glassdoor. It didn’t seem that positive in my work / life balance, which I really value, ”said the person. While Glassdoor is considered by many to be a useful platform for evaluating the insider performance of companies, it is only a source of reference as reviews can be overly emotional at times. However, four former employees told CNBC they had a negative experience at the company whose video-sharing app owns 2 billion downloads. Another former anonymous employee told CNBC that TikTok was the most poisonous workplace they have ever experienced. “Everyone there feels tired, while life is too short. In the first year before the outbreak, there were only 4-5 days of weekends of the year that I didn’t have to work, ”said the person. “Everyone was right when they quit their jobs and I know the company is having difficulty in hiring. But in the end, they don’t care, the staff is just numbers ”. With the same belief, another former employee revealed, the average working day at TikTok is 15 hours. “For them, it is normal,” said the person. “The staff complained, but they still accept it later, maybe because of the good salary”. “Away” TikTok is accused of having a toxic work culture. In a one-star review on Glassdoor, two former employees of Tik Tok urgently warned under the title “Stay away, stay away, stay away”. The article lists 10 reasons why people should “resist the temptation of TikTok and find work elsewhere”. Criticism included “unbalanced work life” to “malicious team” and “bad management”. TikTok has been expanding the workforce around the world as it becomes an increasingly popular social media app. The company needs employees to moderate its content and handle technical and policy issues. In an effort to improve workplace culture, TikTok hired Michal Osman from Facebook as head of culture in Europe in January. But she came only after dozens of people quit her job. “I know TikTok has discussed the work with a lot of people. I don’t think they hire it easily, because there is still a shortage of people who can lead AI labs, ”an AI researcher told CNBC. While some are reluctant to come to work at TikTok, the company has increased the number of employees in Europe from around 1,600 in September to more than 3,000 today, with many joins from Facebook and Google. A current employee told CNBC that they have not experienced 996 culture, meetings are banned on Wednesday afternoon and Friday afternoon. Meanwhile, TikTok is ranked 30th in the list of best places to work by Great Place to Work in the UK. Great Place to Work – often consulting and surveying companies charging prior to listing – rating statements are determined entirely by employee experience and anonymous responses.

Recently, a pair of parents in Taizhou City, Jiangsu Province peeked at their working son outside the window. The father of the child said that the child understands that it is not easy for his parents to go out to work, and he almost fell into tears when he saw the figure of the child working. (The Paper on April 22)

In the context of the miniaturization of the family structure, even the “workers” with ordinary backgrounds will “no matter how hard they are for their children”; watching the son who grew up in his coat to stretch out his hand for food to open his mouth, he was busy serving and delivering food in the restaurant. Cutlery and entertaining guests should not be neglected for a moment. Aiko’s eager parents have mixed flavors. On the one hand, they are gratified that their son is sensible, and they also understand that the child needs to be self-reliant and self-reliant sooner or later; on the other hand, parents who are used to holding their children in their palms still feel distressed and uncomfortable seeing their children suffer.

Faced with children who are not sufficiently socialized, facing children who have left asylum and taking care of them for the first time, parents who worry about and worry about their sons who are busy or not tired at work, want to go to the restaurant where their son works; be afraid of children Knowing, they chose to peek out the window. The sincere and simple “parental heart” is a microcosm of many parents, and it is easy to cause emotional resonance and psychological resonance. Facing the unexpected arrival of his parents, his son was taken aback for a moment, and then he waved his hand to signal them to leave.

In an era of prevalent symbolic interaction, “wave hands” is not only a wave of tribute to parents, but also an emotional expression; in silent communication, the son uses the gesture of waved hands to convey information “silently is better than sound at this time”— —I can do my job well, so please feel free to go back. Although it looks a little immature, the courageous, responsible, persevering, self-reliant “masculinity” of this young man will not be compromised by his appearance.

Society is a university without walls, and working in a restaurant can also gain a lot. Whether it is to improve communication and expression skills, improve organization and coordination, or sharpen mind and strengthen patience, part-time job not only promotes self-reliance and self-reliance, but also allows the young man to re-recognize and discover himself, which helps him to continuously adjust and improve himself. Restaurant waiters can not only exercise their bodies, but also exercise their ability to perceive words, opinions and behaviors; more importantly, in the process of dealing with all kinds of customers, it helps fledgling young people to enrich their understanding of human nature and understanding of reality. And cognition of society.

From relying on their parents to enjoy their achievements to being busy on self-reliance, the growth of adolescents needs to experience a painful process of breaking through the cocoon and becoming a butterfly. Only in the wind and waves and the big waves, can we grow up and strengthen our muscles and bones. Only when we have a stronger spiritual world and a more rational and mature psychology, can we not bow to difficulties or be overwhelmed by setbacks in the face of pressure and challenges. For the “post-00s”, this is not only an indispensable socialization, but also an irreplaceable spiritual growth; for parents, not only do they teach by precepts and deeds, and give enough care and companionship, but also master the art of “letting go” , Let children fly higher and farther.

Statistics show that the epidemic has caused the rate of workers with informal jobs to rise sharply in the first quarter of 2021, in contrast to the trend of decreasing this rate in recent years; businesses are forced to support with many measures, including measures to reduce labor (cut, take turns, etc.), to recruit seasonal workers, temporary workers to maintain operations. This leads to a decrease in the number of formal employees and an increase in the number of informal workers, leading to a rebound in the proportion of workers with informal employment after many years of continuous decline.

The COVID-19 epidemic also significantly increases the number of underemployed workers in economic sectors. The underemployment rate of workers in the age group is 2.51%, of which the underemployment rate in urban areas is 1.68%; Underemployment rate in rural areas is 2.93%. More than half of the underemployed people are currently working in agriculture, forestry and fisheries, accounting for 53.7%, down 15.6 percentage points over the same period last year; the industry and construction sector accounted for 20.2%, up 10.7 percentage points; the service sector accounted for 26.1%, up 4.9 percentage points. Thus, the current underemployment is not only concentrated in agriculture, forestry and fisheries, but is increasing in industry, construction and services.

For workers in the age group, the professional and technical qualifications are higher, the underemployment rate will be lower. The underemployment rate in the age group 2020 of workers without professional and technical qualifications is 2.87%; primary level is 2.25%; intermediate level is 1.58%; college is 1.52%; from university and above is 1.04%.

Average monthly income from employees’ work in the first quarter of 2021 reached 5.7 million dong, up 212,000 dong. VND compared with the previous quarter and decreased 108,000 VND against the same period last year.

Worryingly, the number of unemployed people in working age quarter I / 2021 was nearly 1.2 million, down 60,100 from the previous quarter and 136,800 people over the same period last year. The COVID-19 pandemic has made the unemployment rate of working age urban areas the highest increase compared to the same period in the past 10 years.

Although it increased higher than the previous year, the unemployment rate in urban areas did not exceed 4%, meeting the target set by the National Assembly in Resolution No. 85/2019 / QH-14 on the Development Plan. Socio-economic development in 2021. This, together with the GDP growth and other macro-balance indicators, can be seen as important evidence of the success of the Government in its efforts to achieve the dual goal. : disease prevention and socio-economic development.

Remove 3 “bottlenecks”

Leaders of the General Statistics Office said that, in the context of COVID-19 increasing the rate of unemployed workers, it is necessary to focus on removing 3 “bottlenecks” to actively respond and adapt to new developments. epidemic situation, both controlling the epidemic and promoting production and business.

Specifically, the ministries, branches and localities need to create conditions to continue solving difficulties for production enterprises. In which, focusing on reforming processes and procedures so that businesses can access simple, convenient and timely supporting policies to stimulate the economy as well as the demand for labor. These measures not only help businesses and employees escape the risk of bankruptcy, job loss and income reduction, but also create a driving force for production and business development.

On the other hand, localities actively implement specific support packages, diversify forms of subsidies, expand vocational training programs to suit many subjects, especially female workers and workers. Labor without technical and professional qualifications, informal labor to stabilize social security, motivate workers to work, contribute to economic recovery and development.

The most important bottleneck now, according to the leaders of the General Statistics Office, is to focus on retraining human resources, because the Vietnamese labor market has about 75% of the employees without any technical or professional training. This is a major limitation of the Vietnamese economy in the context of the epidemic still having new developments and the 4th industrial revolution taking place around the world. The low quality of the labor force will be a barrier separating opportunities to adapt and catch up with new technology trends and new business methods of the world. Therefore, in the coming time, Vietnam needs to actively renew and implement training and retraining policies to improve the quality of human resources to adapt to the requirements of economic growth and development.

The unemployment rate of working age in the first quarter of this year was 2.42%, the rate of young people who were unemployed and not participating in study or training in quarter 1 was 16.3%, equivalent to nearly 2. million young people.

Meanwhile, the average monthly income of employees in the first quarter reached about 6.3 million dong / month, a slight increase compared to the previous quarter as well as the same period last year.

Although the average income increased, this growth was uneven across sectors. Many industries are still heavily affected by the COVID-19 epidemic, causing the income of workers in that industry to decline. These are industries: art, entertainment, transportation, warehousing …

According to Mr. Pham Hoai Nam, Director of the Department of Population and Labor Statistics (General Statistics Office), the numbers on the employment situation in the first quarter of 2021 reflect many difficulties and fluctuations in the economy. in general and the Vietnamese labor market in particular.

Many challenges
On April 14, at the seminar “Promoting the advantage of golden population structure and adapting to population aging” – Deputy Minister of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs Le Van Thanh informed, in the labor market, the proportion of the population with jobs making our country always at a high level and the unemployment rate maintained at a low level. However, Vietnam is in the period of golden population structure at the same time the population aging trend is happening very quickly.

The Ministry of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs develops a Project to promote the advantages of golden population structure and adaptation to population aging in the period of 2021 – 2030.

According to forecasts, the golden population period of Vietnam lasts about 33 years, will end in 2039, which means only 19 years. Along with that, the transition time from population aging to an aging population is about 26 years – this is a very short transition period compared to countries with high production levels, bringing Vietnam into the group of countries with the fastest aging population in the world.

In particular, the trend of rapid population aging in the context of low per capita income in Vietnam has created the risk of falling into the “not getting rich old” situation if we do not take advantage of Golden Population Association and effective adaptation measures to population aging.
There are two problems posed for Vietnam in the coming time. First, the time for taking advantage of the golden population structure is not much while the quality of human resources is limited and the quality of employment is not high. Up to now, the rate of trained workers with diplomas and certificates has only reached 24.5%. Second, the population aging is fast while the country’s economic resources and social security system are still limited.

Currently, only 33.2% of working age employees participate in social insurance (social insurance); about 45.5% of the elderly are entitled to a monthly pension or allowance. The system of care for the elderly is incomplete in both quantity and quality, increasing the burden of social security for the State budget and poses many challenges.
Job creation for retirees
To solve the above two issues, the Ministry of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs has developed a draft project to promote the advantages of a golden population structure and adapt to population aging in Vietnam in the period of 2021 – 2030. The project sets out goals, Rate of trained labor will reach 70% in 2025 and 75% in 2030; The rate of trained workers with certificates will reach 28-30% in 2025 and 35% – 40% by 2030. At the same time, increase the support of the State to ensure income for workers after retirement or at the end of working age: The person who is entitled to a pension from social insurance and social pension benefits is 55% in 2025 and 60% in 2030. Reduce the age eligible for social allowance for the elderly to 75 years old by 2025 and 65 years old for some ethnic groups. At the same time, creating suitable jobs and adequate income for the elderly who have work demands.

Agreeing with the development of a project by the Ministry of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs, representatives of ministries, sectors and labor experts said that Vietnam has adapted to the aging population by raising the retirement age, meeting the risk of a shortage of TB. moving. To take advantage of the golden population, many working-age workers are willing to work, bringing the unemployment rate lower than other countries. “Currently, labor productivity is still low, which is the highlight. We need to deal with it by improving productivity, the quality of the labor force and effectively using that human resource ”- Former Deputy Minister of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs, Doan Mau Diep suggested. Meanwhile, Ms. Nguyen Nguyet Nga – World Bank expert proposed a solution to increase labor productivity not only by training but also by shifting labor from low to high productivity areas. .

Labor experts also encourage young employees to participate in social insurance to later leave the regime with a living pension. Young workers have high and stable incomes, right now save money, save money to use for their life in old age.
