BEIJING -- Chinese Vice-Premier Ding Xuexiang on Tuesday urged efforts to enhance the employment of college graduates and ensure stable employment among young people.

Ding, also a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, made the remarks at a video conference on young people's employment and entrepreneurship.

He said more jobs need to be generated by promoting massive projects and key programs and launching measures for domestic demand expansion.

The government should also directly create as many new jobs as possible, Ding said. Such jobs are usually in Party and government bodies, public institutions, state-owned enterprises, research institutions, and other public service organizations.

More jobs should be created in fields such as rural revitalization, social work, elderly services, and emergency response at the community level, Ding said, highlighting the importance of encouraging graduates to join grassroots organizations.

Ding also stressed the importance of proper guidance for college graduates regarding their career and job choices.

Concerning graduates planning for entrepreneurship, Ding called for measures to assist them in tackling shortages of finance, venues and experience.

According to the government work report, China aims to add more than 12 million urban jobs this year.
