Yesterday (the 7th), according to news from the Human Resources and Social Security Department of the autonomous region, Inner Mongolia will implement a plan starting this year to support returning farmer and herder workers in starting businesses, guiding more farmer and herder workers who have skills, capital, business acumen and management knowledge to return to their hometowns and start businesses, driving the transfer of surplus labor in rural and pastoral areas to nearby employment.
Currently, the total surplus labor force in Inner Mongolia's rural and pastoral areas exceeds 3 million. Inner Mongolia guides and encourages farmers and herders to start businesses, supports farmer and herder workers in developing new types of agricultural and pastoral business entities such as farmer and herder cooperatives and family farms, and encourages them to engage in labor-intensive industry projects such as agricultural and livestock product processing and leisure agriculture and animal husbandry. It supports farmers and herders in using local resource advantages to start businesses online, and guides them to use "Internet Plus" information technology to open specialty stores, chain stores and brand stores.
In addition, Inner Mongolia will include returning farmer and herder workers in the scope of entrepreneurship guarantee loan policy support, support them in leveraging locational advantages to vigorously develop specialty planting and breeding industries, green agricultural and livestock product processing industries, rural and pastoral service industries, and leisure agricultural and pastoral tourism, and guide them to develop specialty agricultural and pastoral projects with small investment, low risk and quick results, so as to achieve the goal of entrepreneurship driving employment and development promoting prosperity. Social insurance subsidies will be provided according to regulations, and returning-home entrepreneurship projects that meet the conditions of various agricultural support and benefit-farming fund policies, small and micro enterprise development funds and other support policies will be promptly included in the support scope.
