Xinjiang women usher in the best period of employment and entrepreneurship

Xinjiang along the Silk Road Economic Belt is becoming a hot land of development and a hot land of hope. Women of all ethnic groups living in this land are showing unprecedented beauty and confidence.

The party committee and government of the autonomous region have always attached great importance to women’s work, incorporated the main indicators of women’s career development into social development plans, and continuously increased support from the aspects of policies and funds to create a harmonious and harmonious society for the whole society. A good atmosphere that cares about the development of women's careers. Especially in promoting and expanding women's employment and entrepreneurship, our district has implemented active employment policies to expand women's employment areas, improve women's employment levels, strengthen women's vocational training, and improve women's overall quality.

With the further advancement of the construction of the core area of ??the Silk Road Economic Belt, women in Xinjiang are ushering in the best period of employment and entrepreneurship!

Policies are benefiting women of all ethnic groups

In Baren Township, Shule County, 32-year-old Gulimai Rebu Mutalifu dresses beautifully every day. She was not like this before. She said that in the past she could only stay at home to take care of her children and do housework, living a simple life as a housewife. With the help of the party's good policies, the Qimanzhar Handicrafts Farmers Professional Cooperative was established in the township. She, who likes hand embroidery and clothing tailoring, became a member of the cooperative. Not only has she learned a skill, but she can also earn a good income. She is very happy here every day, and her status in the family has also improved.

Hou Hanmin, Secretary and Vice Chairman of the Party Leadership Group of the Autonomous Region Women’s Federation, said that in recent years, our region has taken promoting women’s employment as an important measure to promote women’s development and actively implemented the relevant national and autonomous region policies of “mass entrepreneurship and mass employment”. Implement a 24-hour dynamic clearing of zero-employment families and a long-term mechanism for the placement of poor women in public welfare jobs, and actively assist "zero-employment families", "4050" people and other groups with employment difficulties to find jobs, so that many people like Guli Mairebu· Housewives like Mutalifu walked out of their homes and entered enterprises, factories, and cooperatives. Through their hard work, they improved their families' living standards and changed their own lives.

In order to make Xinjiang women more beautiful and confident, our district launched the "Beautiful Project" in 2011, adopting a market-led and government-supported approach, relying on Xinjiang's advantageous resources, in cosmetics, clothing, and accessories. In the four fields of health products and health products, we have created a number of leading enterprises and well-known brands with independent intellectual property rights and market competitiveness. The policies that benefit women of all ethnic groups have also condensed the political consciousness of women of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang to seek development, prosperity, stability, and harmony.

Strengthen training to improve the overall quality of women

It is understood that among the 11 million women of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang, there are about 7 million rural women, accounting for 63% of the total rural labor force, and nearly 120 Millions of women live below the poverty line. Remoteness, isolation, lagging ideas, low cultural quality, poor production skills, and low Chinese language proficiency are the main bottlenecks that restrict rural minority women and poor women from entrepreneurship, employment, and increasing income and wealth.

In order to break this bottleneck, the Women's Federation of the Autonomous Region has strengthened various types of education and training, organized various seminars and lectures, so that women of all ethnic groups can obtain the required knowledge and improve their overall quality. Through sending education to the countryside, distance education, etc., we have implemented the "Million Women Training Plan" and carried out various skills training such as clothing design, hand embroidery, carpet weaving, pastry cooking, etc., and mobilized the surplus rural labor force to find employment locally and nearby. In recent years, more than 8,000 skills training sessions of various types have been held, training 837,000 women.

Women’s federations at all levels have taken the lead in creating more than 1,800 women’s entrepreneurship and employment bases (service platforms) of various types, which have inspired 50,000 women to start businesses and find employment. Currently, there are 2,341 enterprises led by women in the region. Among them, there are more than 300,000 women engaged in weaving and embroidery, creating annual production and sales of 1 billion yuan, directly driving tens of thousands of ethnic minority women to achieve local and nearby employment.

Expanding the avenues for women to start businesses and find employment

"Our town has 14 embroidery cooperatives, creating employment for 480 people. The cooperatives are opened in the village, and women are employed at home, which not only takes care of their families, but also earns income." He Liping, secretary of the Wuzun Town Party Committee, said , almost every household in the town has someone who can embroider, and embroidery has become an important channel for increasing employment and income.

In recent years, our district has actively implemented small-amount guaranteed loan projects, and women have enjoyed a loan quota of 5.324 billion yuan, which has supported and solved the difficulties of women in starting up funds for entrepreneurship.

This year, our district invested another 79.47 million yuan to implement the Southern Xinjiang Spark Project and the Xinjiang Women's Handmade Products Expansion Project, directly supporting 400 economic organizations led by women and promoting employment of ethnic minorities "at their doorsteps."

Faced with the trend of the "Internet +" era, since 2015, the Women's Federation of the Autonomous Region has actively deployed e-commerce promotion work, registered the "@古丽" brand trademark, and advocated women of all ethnic groups to rely on "Internet +" to integrate national Specialty products are combined with modern creativity and national cultural brands to guide online and offline joint sales and broaden the avenues for women to start businesses and find employment.

“In the past, most rural women were not highly educated and bound by traditional concepts. They lacked self-confidence and courage, had no source of income, and did not dare to go out to make money.” Hou Hanmin said that in local governments and women’s federation organizations, With the support of the government, more and more women have become women in the era of "walking out of the house and entering the factory" through various employment and entrepreneurship assistance policies.
