第二轮下岗潮

second wave of laid-offs

A senior researcher on employment at Renmin University of China, Zeng Xiangquan, said at a recent forum that China faces quite high unemployment pressure, and as State-owned enterprises merge and restructure they might "lay off" large numbers of workers as they did in the late 1990s.

中国人民大学高级研究员曾湘泉在最近一次论坛上表示,中国面临着相当高的失业压力.因为国企重组,国企可能会像上世纪90年代那样,裁减大量员工.

Lay off表示"临时解雇,裁员",其名词形式是lay-off,lay off的原因通常在雇主一方,由于业务缩小、调整,不需要那么多人手了;或者是整个大环境不好,这种情况下"被裁员",称为"laid off",其名词形式是laid-off,表示职工下岗.上世纪90年代有过一次大规模裁员(massive lay-offs),引起一轮下岗潮.近日专家表示,中国将迎第二轮下岗潮(second wave of laid-offs).

曾湘泉表示,我国适龄劳动人口(working-age population)出现了下降,虽然公开失业率上升不多,但隐性失业率上升很多.劳动市场信号已经失真了,统计局公布的登记失业率并没有反映劳动市场的真实情况(does not reflect the true situation of the labor market).

曾湘泉还表示,受国有企业改革重组(reform and restructuring)等因素的影响,很多人要面临下岗的问题.要想推进改革,就必须要迎接第二轮"下岗潮"的考验.
