Under the steady economic growth, the main feature of China's labor force in 2013 is that, the balance of labor demand and supply created a favorable employment situation. However, the rate of increase of wage is decelerating, and the increment of residents' income is lower than economic growth rate. The scale of collection and payment of employees' social insurance keeps rising, whereas the old-age pension replacement rate continues a downward trend. There is a significant improvement of occupational safety among workers. However, pneumoconiosis and occupational lung disease received extensive attention. On the one hand, the amount of labor disputes keeps in a stable level; on the one hand, the amount of mass disturbance is gradually reduced. The overall welfare and rights protection of workers is greatly improved, accompanied with a tendency of "four strengthened aspects" and "four weakened aspects". In general, the stability of the employment situation remains on the right track, and government⁃centered collective labor relation coordination system is on its way of formation.
