In 2020，China’s employment is facing unprecedented hitherto unknown complexities and arduous tasks under the influence of multiple factors such as cyclical，structural，policy factors and COVID-19 shocks. The novel coronavirus pneumonia has a comprehensive，phased and structural impact on employment，and the object scope，key areas and extent of the impact are different in different stages。

Facing the complicated situation，the China’s government has further consolidated the consensus of “giving priority to employment”，strengthened the impact of macro policies，and comprehensively taken measures to stabilize employment. After the sharp fluctuations in the first quarter，the market demand recovered rapidly，and the employment situation showed the development trend of “overall stable，gradually warming up，better than expected”.

In the future，the labour market is still facing a long-term impact of the COVID-19，and the uncertainty of economic development at home and abroad. In order to stabilize the employment situation，it is necessary to continuously strengthen the employment priority policy，coordinate the fiscal，monetary，industrial，investment and employment policies，strengthen the employment support for key industries and enterprises，small，medium and micro market entities and key groups，support flexible employment and independent entrepreneurship，strengthen and innovate public employment services，and prevent large-scale unemployment.
