During the 15th Five-Year Plan period, the underlying conditions and basic trends supporting the long-term improvement of our economy have not changed. “The prospects for high‑quality development are broad, and with our strong institutional advantages, we have the confidence and capability to keep overall employment stable and the situation improving,” Wang said.

　　The remarks reflect China’s broader push to manage the social impact of rapid technological change, encourage AI-driven job creation and use AI to augment existing occupations while supporting sectors that employ large number of workers, Li Changan, a professor at the Academy of China Open Economy Studies under the University of International Business and Economics, told the Global Times on Saturday.

　　China’s employment work faces both significant opportunities and numerous challenges, Li said, adding that we should fully leverage positive factors and tap employment potential to lay a solid foundation for achieving high-quality and full employment.
