No one does a job with an average monthly salary of 9600? 1/4 of the graduates choose to take the public examination?
How to fill the talent gap of construction workers, truck drivers, and professional nannies? How can AI help new developments?
The three major positions are in a dilemma of lack of personnel
With the continuous development of the economy, there is a large talent gap in some occupations on the mainland, and there is an urgent need to absorb new forces. However, due to the changing mindset of the new generation of workforce, there is often a mismatch between the job gap and the willingness of workers to find jobs.
According to relevant media reports, the three major jobs with an average monthly salary of 9,600 yuan in China are now in a shortage of people, including construction workers, truck drivers and professional nannies.
The first is construction workers, because the education level of the new generation of young labor force has been greatly improved compared with the previous generation, so everyone's vision will not stay in the traditional profession of construction workers.
According to the survey report of the relevant United Nations organizations, in the past 10 years, the number of construction workers over 45 years old has gradually increased, and the number of people over 50 years old has increased even more.
This means that in recent years, there has been no new force in the ranks of construction workers, but has always been the original group of labor, and even to some extent, if these older construction workers retire, there is likely to be no one available on the construction site.
The same dilemma is not limited to China, where the construction industry in United States now faces a staggering shortage of about 650,000 workers, according to a CCTV report last year.
Second, as the economy continues to evolve, both online and offline industries have received equal support. In particular, the promotion of online logistics has led to a greater demand for truck drivers in mainland logistics companies.
According to the survey at the end of 2022, the overall working age of truck drivers in mainland China is now showing the same "aging" trend as construction workers, most of the truck drivers are post-70s, of which about 48% are 36~45 years old, and the proportion of people over 46 years old has also reached 33%.
It is not difficult to see that there is also a lack of new talent in today's truck driver industry.
Finally, there is also a large talent gap in the professional nanny industry. The so-called professional nannies include both confinement nannies and caregivers for the elderly. With the proposal of the three-child policy and the continuous development of the aging trend, the demand for professional nannies has also begun to enter a peak state.
In March this year, some media reported that the birth of "dragon babies" made many families unable to find a suitable confinement lady even if the price was increased by thousands.
Judging from the above data, these three major industries are indeed in the predicament of high salaries but few people, which also makes people have to start thinking about the various reasons behind this phenomenon.
Differences in young people's views on career choice
In fact, for the mismatch between supply and demand of occupational positions, the voice of discussion in the society has long been endless, and some people have even summed up the sentence "some people do not work, and no one does work".
According to the statistics of relevant departments, the overall scale of college graduates in the mainland this year has increased to a certain extent compared with 2023, and the overall number has reached about 11.79 million.
So, with so many graduates graduating, why are there still some industries that can't recruit staff?
This is closely related to the job search mentality of graduates. For most recent graduates, the cost of studying for many years will make them focus more on higher-level jobs, and it is this mentality that dooms them not to focus on the above three industries.
After all, the entry threshold for these three industries is relatively low, which will give graduates the illusion of "overkill".
Therefore, in such a situation, most fresh graduates will aim for a more stable and glamorous job, such as the craze for public examinations in recent years, which is very apt to show the thoughts of most graduates.
According to media reports, in 2024, the number of people taking the national examination in mainland China will reach 2.91 million, accounting for almost 1/4 of the number of graduates in the entire year.
What is revealed behind this is not only the fixation of the public's concept of employment, but also the information gap between enterprises and universities.
Most college graduates can't know the real employment situation, let alone judge the suitability of the job with themselves, so they can't choose the right job.
In the end, you can only follow the footsteps of the majority of people and choose the path that most people take, which also leads to more and more people walking on the same road, and there is no one walking on the rest of these roads.
Artificial intelligence changes the status quo
In view of the shortage of talents in these three industries, the state has also made corresponding policy drives.
For example, the traditional model of construction labor employment should be changed, and local governments should strengthen the employment training of local workers, and cultivate a new generation of construction workers suitable for development requirements through social re-education mechanisms.
In addition, in order to further promote the transformation and upgrading of the domestic construction industry, high-tech development has also further benefited the construction industry. According to the mainland's policy plan, around 2035, the mainland's intelligent construction industry will become one of the world's powers.
This also means that more and more artificial intelligence technologies will be added to the construction sites of the future, so that more overly stressful tasks will be handed over to artificial intelligence. Not only that, artificial intelligence can also reduce the safety hazards in the process of construction workers to a certain extent.
In response to the shortage of truck drivers, some representatives at the two sessions this year also suggested adding automatic truck driving license categories, hoping to attract more young people to obtain truck driving licenses while ensuring safety, so as to broaden the source of truck drivers.
Of course, the development of artificial intelligence can also help solve the shortage of truck drivers. For example, Baidu's recent Radish Express taxi service has become an excellent reference object.
This means that in the future, the truck transportation industry may also be able to achieve unmanned driving, to a certain extent to alleviate the current situation of truck driver shortage.
As for the professional nanny industry, as early as after artificial intelligence swept the world, the housekeeping industry has become a new field for robots. For example, TidyBot, a collaboration between Google and Princeton University and Stanford University, now enables humans to do chores on command.
All in all, although there is still a very large talent gap in the three industries of construction workers, truck drivers and professional nannies, it is believed that as the new generation of labor continues to update their job search concepts, there will still be many people who choose these careers in the new generation of labor force in the future.
In addition, I believe that with the support of high-tech technology, some of the needs of these professions in the future can also be completed through artificial intelligence, and the so-called "technology changes life" is exactly the case.
