| The essence of unemployment is that labor can't be combined with means of production. The year from 1949 to 1978 is the only period during New China's history before 1978 when governments at all levels acknowledged unemployment and launched unemployment statistics, at the same time, governments' policies on unemployment are relatively systemic and full-out. So a deep study of unemployment issue during this period of time will have both academic value and realistic significance.The preface comments on Hebei's unemployment definition and statistical system , and clarifies study range of the thesis. The main body is divided into four parts:Part I, the account of Hebei's unemployment situation in the initial period of New China. The population of unemployment left over by history was great. After the founding of New China, because of many factors such as economic reshuffle, new unemployment phenomenon emerged in Hebei. The joint effect of old and new unemployment formed two peaks in. 1950 and 1952 respectively. No mighty unemployment tide appeared since 1953, but the outplacement condition in Hebei was not optimistic yet.Part II, the proceeding of anti-unemployment policies from Hebei people's government. Confronted with unemployment pressure, Hebei waged a series of anti-unemployment measures including extending employment, cutting unemployment and relieving people out of work.Part III, the analysis of unemployment group's mentality. Among the unemployment group, different individual had different psychology. To summarize, "being exigent for new job","having no job but having backbone" and "being grateful to government's help" constituted the main current of unemployment collective's psychology. And the active psychological structure would have constructive impact on the execution of government's anti-unemployment policies with no doubts.Part IV, reflection on anti-unemployment policies of Hebei. In the initial period of New China, Hebei got great achievements towards harnessing unemployment though developing economy, stabilizing rural areas, practicing energetic unemployment relief policy and implementing diversified outplacement principle. Of course, there are some problems in the anti-unemployment policies and their performances of Hebei in the initial period of New China. |
