Study On The Overseas Fishermen Employment

The overseas fishermen employment is an important part of the overseas labor service cooperation of China, but a lot of labor disputes and vicious incidents have happened frequently in the process of it. It not only injures the rights and interests of overseas fishermen, but also affects the development of the overseas fishermen employment. Therefore, it is necessary that our government should make a study on problems of the overseas fishermen employment. In February 2006, Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council announced that the Mainland will restart the fishermen employment between the two sides of the Taiwan Straits. For this reason, it is urgent for the Mainland to promote the study on problems of the overseas fishermen employment.This thesis consists of three chapters besides the preface and conclusion.Chapter 1 mainly analyzes problems of the overseas fishermen employment.

And then, based on the research of some related international conventions, it indicates that China shall focus on the advanced provision of these conventions.Chapter 3 works out the countermeasures against problems of the overseas fishermen employment. It puts forward that China shall take some countermeasures against these problems, including the short-term countermeasures and long-term countermeasures.
