Study On Constructing Hub-spoke Social Organizations By The Communist Youth League

With the rapid development of the economy and society, many social organizations serving for the young people have been set up in China over the past 30 years since its reform and opening up. Numbers of youth associations are founded according to different interests,specialities and other needs of the young people. These associations have attracted many young people and made a great influence on them in some fields in some cities. Meanwhile, great changes have taken place in the working environment and working object of the Communist Youth League. The accurate and multiple functional development systems of social organizations, which have brought up some positive effects, have been established by the Communist Youth League according to the development of the economy and society. However, the multi-dimension of value concepts of the Chinese youth has weakened the cohesion and influence of the Communist Youth League. Young people seldom show interest in activities organized by the Communist Youth League. Facing these challenges brought up by the changes of social structures, the Communist Youth League has to re-survey the relations with these youth social organizations and find effective ways to consolidate the Party’s mass base and to enlarge its influence in the young people by providing services and guidance for them.As a bond between the Country and all the social organizations, hub-spoke social o rganization should play an important role in providing guidance and service for the deve lopment and management of organizations of different types, different properties and dif ferent fields. This paper discusses the present situation and realistic predicament of constructing hub-spoke social organizations by the Communist Youth League based on practical work experience by using literature method, interview method and questionnaire method. Besides, the operation scheme and operation path of constructing hub-spoke social organizations are proposed based on reviewing the situation in our country and international comparison. Furthermore, suggestions in function transformation, framework innovation, mechanism reform and system innovation are put forward in order to adapt the Communist Youth League to the demand of the times and the needs of the youth social organizations.
