Beijing Introduces 22 Measures to Optimize Talent Services and Protect Workers’ Rights

Recently, a work plan focused on talent services and workers’ rights protection was jointly released. The plan aims to create a world-class “Beijing Service” and continuously improve the business environment by 2026. It targets pain points in business development, bottlenecks in talent growth, and difficulties in public services, introducing 22 specific measures across seven major areas to enhance the sense of fulfillment for businesses and workers, while optimizing the business environment in talent services and workers’ rights protection.

Deepen the reform of “efficiently handling one thing.” Continuously optimize the functions of existing “one-stop” scenarios such as individual entrepreneurship. Add six integrated scenarios, including employment and housing for college graduates, to promote cross-departmental “one-time acceptance and integrated processing.” Advance the service model of “automatic approval and direct access,” enabling direct access to social insurance subsidies for employer recruitment. Launch five human resources and social security maps covering public employment, social security services, college graduate employment and entrepreneurship, training evaluation, and mediation services, allowing a comprehensive view of service outlets and policy resources.

Establish a full-chain employment and entrepreneurship service mechanism. Build an employment-friendly development approach and formulate several measures to promote employment for new workforce groups. Improve the public employment service system and advance the standardized construction of gig markets. Set up employment service stations across the city to create a 15-minute employment service circle. Strengthen entrepreneurship support, encouraging new entrepreneurial models represented by the “One-Person Company” (OPC). Tap into the employment potential of the digital economy, collecting and releasing 10,000 high-quality positions within the year. Organize targeted recruitment at key national universities to attract more outstanding students to work and start businesses in Beijing. Continuously upgrade online recruitment platforms, creating an employment market integrating consulting, guidance, and training services. Deepen the construction of the “Beijing Domestic Services” skills brand, training 15,000 domestic service workers annually.

Optimize the full-process social insurance service experience. Implement relevant policies on enterprise annuities and gradually expand the coverage of the system. Deepen cooperation between social security and banks to expand service scope. Expand special application scenarios for social security cards and promote the integration of work permits for foreigners with social security cards. Optimize the social insurance service process, iteratively upgrade the “quick compensation for minor injuries” mechanism to enable online verification of relevant materials.

Strengthen the construction of a universal talent service system. Focus on young talent, intensifying the implementation of measures for youth talent innovation and entrepreneurship. Provide entrepreneurial spaces for young talent starting businesses, along with supporting services like entrepreneurship guidance and project incubation. Use the “Easy Beijing” talent service app to create a one-stop service platform. Leverage the HICOOL Global Entrepreneurship Competition brand to build a “Youth Entrepreneurship Olympics” platform. Launch a global youth talent empowerment plan and hold “Gather in Beijing, Create the Future” events for returning overseas talent, vigorously attracting and gathering outstanding returning talent.

Build a new landscape for human resources service development. Compile a guide for foreigners working in Beijing and iteratively update the “Beijing International Professional Qualification Recognition Directory” to attract urgently needed and scarce talent to work in Beijing. Deepen cross-border human resources services and open cooperation, supporting the establishment of postdoctoral stations in technology innovation enterprises in emerging and future industries. Adjust and add professional title evaluation fields such as brain-computer interfaces, improve evaluation standards for innovative talent in frontier fields like artificial intelligence, and smooth growth channels for highly skilled talent in emerging industries. Compile and release the 2026 edition of the human resources development directory, organize training for “digital technology engineers” and “chief data officers,” and expand the layout of continuing education bases in emerging and future industries.

Build an integrated human resources and social security service circle in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. Deepen the construction of the national public employment service regional center (Beijing), establish a mechanism for analyzing and publishing supply and demand information in the human resources market, and achieve real-time sharing of positions on public employment service platforms across the three regions. Jointly expand beneficial application scenarios for the “one-card” social security card, promoting the seamless online processing and non-differentiated acceptance of Beijing social security services in the Xiong’an New Area. Promote the joint construction and mutual recognition of talent evaluation standards across the three regions, establish a coordinated mechanism for talent file management services, and facilitate the cross-regional flow of talent.

Beijing

Beijing is the capital of China and one of the world’s most historically

Beijing

Beijing, the capital of China, is a historic city with over 3,000 years of history, serving as the nation’s political and cultural center for centuries. It is home to iconic landmarks such as the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, and Tiananmen Square, reflecting its imperial past and modern development. As a hub of tradition and innovation, Beijing seamlessly blends ancient heritage with contemporary urban life.

Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region

The Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, often called the Jing-Jin-Ji area, is a major economic and cultural hub in northern China, with Beijing as its historical and political core. The area has been central to Chinese civilization for centuries, serving as the imperial capital during the Ming and Qing dynasties, while Tianjin developed as a key port and industrial center in the 19th and 20th centuries. Today, it is a focus of national integration efforts, aiming to coordinate development, reduce pollution, and improve transportation links.

Xiong’an New Area

Xiong’an New Area is a major state-level development zone established in April 2017 by the Chinese government to relieve Beijing of non-capital functions and promote coordinated regional development in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. Located about 100 kilometers southwest of Beijing, it is envisioned as a modern, green, and smart city of the future, with plans to become a hub for innovation and high-tech industries. The area covers three counties—Xiongxian, Rongcheng, and Anxin—and is historically known for its connection to Baiyangdian Lake, the largest freshwater wetland in northern China.

HICOOL Global Entrepreneurship Competition

The HICOOL Global Entrepreneurship Competition is an annual international event founded in 2020 by the Beijing HICOOL Management Committee, aimed at attracting top-tier startups and innovative talent from around the world. It focuses on fields such as artificial intelligence, life sciences, and green technology, offering winners substantial prizes, funding, and support to establish businesses in Beijing. Since its launch, the competition has quickly grown into a key platform for global entrepreneurs to connect with Chinese markets and resources.

Youth Entrepreneurship Olympics

The Youth Entrepreneurship Olympics is an international competition that challenges young people to develop and pitch innovative business ideas, fostering entrepreneurial skills and leadership. Launched in 2019 by the Global Youth Entrepreneurship Alliance, it aims to connect youth from diverse backgrounds, encouraging collaboration and problem-solving for real-world issues. The event has since grown to include participants from over 30 countries, promoting a global entrepreneurial mindset.

Beijing International Professional Qualification Recognition Directory

The Beijing International Professional Qualification Recognition Directory is a policy initiative launched by the Beijing government to streamline the recognition of foreign professional qualifications within the city. Established as part of broader efforts to enhance international talent mobility and support Beijing’s development as a global innovation hub, the directory lists specific overseas certifications that are officially acknowledged for use in local industries. This measure aims to attract skilled professionals, reduce bureaucratic barriers, and foster cross-border expertise in sectors such as finance, engineering, and technology.

Beijing Domestic Services

Beijing Domestic Services refers to the network of household service providers, such as nannies, cleaners, and caregivers, that support daily life in China’s capital. Historically, this sector evolved from state-run employment agencies in the mid-20th century into a vast, market-driven industry following economic reforms in the 1980s. Today, it plays a crucial role in urban households, often employing migrant workers from rural areas.

Easy Beijing

“Easy Beijing” is a popular travel guide and resource designed to help visitors navigate China’s capital with practical tips on attractions, dining, and transportation. It offers curated itineraries that highlight both historical landmarks like the Forbidden City and modern cultural experiences, making it easier for tourists to explore the city’s rich heritage and vibrant contemporary life.
