China on Tuesday rolled out 20 measures to optimize its public employment services system, aiming to improve the availability, equality and professional quality of such services.

A set of guidelines issued by five government authorities, including the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, call for the provision of local or easily accessible public employment services for urban and rural workers and employers.

The guidelines underscore the importance of releasing comprehensive employment information and providing precise career introduction and guidance services, while improving the management of both employment and unemployment.

They state that the types and degrees of difficulties that people face in seeking employment should be identified accurately so that targeted services can be provided.

They also call for cities and counties to enhance their comprehensive capability to provide full-chain public employment services.
