According to a report by China News Service on October 16, the Qinghai Provincial Department of Human Resources and Social Security released its “15th Five-Year Plan” for an employment-first strategy. Over the next five years, Qinghai plans to facilitate 5 million instances of employment transfers for workers in rural and pastoral areas.

For Qinghai, with a permanent population of just over five million, facilitating 5 million instances of employment transfers in five years means organizing a sizable workforce each year to relocate across regions or find work closer to home. The effort to safeguard people’s livelihoods is certainly substantial.
