The Chinese Ministry of Labor and Social Security has set it as its key task in 2003 to help middle-aged people find jobs again, reports the China Daily Thursday.
Zheng Silin, minister of labor and social security, told a working conference in Beijing Tuesday that labor and social security departments across China have pledged to make more efforts to help laidoff workers, those aged above 40 in particular.
More than eight million new jobs will be created this year across the country to help laidoff workers, including one million posts for the middle-aged.
The middle-aged people -- women above 40 and men above 50 -- are the groups in China that find reemployment most difficult.
