A new wrestling field of urban competition: talent policy turns to population policy.

Another city has relaxed its settlement conditions. From now on, Zhengzhou will relax two items and increase 1 item on the basis of the 20 17 household registration system reform, including relaxing the settlement conditions of agricultural transfer population, relaxing the settlement conditions of participating in urban social insurance and increasing the settlement conditions of rental housing. Among them, people from other places who have rented houses in Zhengzhou central city for 1 year can apply to live with them. Renting houses in counties (cities), towns where the municipal government of Shang Jie District is resident and other towns is not subject to the lease time limit.

Recently, Shenyang has delegated the right to examine and approve household registration, lowered the threshold for settlement, simplified the settlement process and attracted population inflows. In the first month of this year 10, the registered population of Shenyang increased by 86,000.

In the past two months, more than 20 cities across the country have issued different forms of talent attraction policies. Including Shenyang, Foshan, Nanjing, Shanghai, Chengdu, Zhongshan and other places, the talent policy has been further refined and improved. The reporter of 265438+20th Century Business Herald also noticed that many provinces and cities have come to Beijing to recruit talents this year. For example, Gansu, Shanxi, Shaoxing, Wuhan, Dongguan and other provinces and cities have come to Beijing to recruit talents, and even directly come to Beijing to hold a press conference to release the latest policies.

In addition, a new change in China's urban talent policy on 20 19 is that the urban talent policy except Beijing and Shanghai has been in the transition from talent policy to population policy.

"The steady inflow of population will provide a steady stream of power for the urban development of Dongguan." Xiao Yafei, Mayor of Dongguan, said at the June Beijing Investment Promotion Conference in Dongguan attended by reporters from 2 1 Century Business Herald. Obviously, the net inflow of population has become one of the core location advantages of attracting investment in major cities.

A new wave of talent policy refinement

In 20 17, the competition for talents started in new first-tier cities such as Wuhan and Xi' an. By the end of 20 19, new first-tier cities continued to increase and refine talent policies, and many prefecture-level cities, districts and counties across the country also introduced many talent policies.

In 65438+February, Shenzhen Qianhai Administration issued "Several Measures on Accelerating the Development of Qianhai Talent Gathering with All-factor Talent Service"; In February, 65438, Zibo City issued some measures to further strengthen the work of attracting and using talents under the new situation.

165438+1At the end of October, Foshan Municipal Bureau of Human Resources and Social Security issued the Supplementary Notice on Further Improving the Talent Housing Policy in official website. Talents who work in Foshan and have a bachelor's degree or above or an intermediate-level professional qualification or above are not subject to household registration, individual tax and social security payment restrictions when buying a house for the first time. The areas that have recently updated their talent policies include Chengdu Tianfu New District, Zhongshan City, Nanjing City, and Lingang New District of Shanghai Free Trade Zone.

12 10 A doctor of engineering working in Beijing told the reporter of 2 1 Century Business Herald that key universities in new first-tier cities extended an olive branch to him, and he was also considering the location conditions of the city comprehensively. For him, the scientific research platform provided by the city should reach a certain baseline.

He said that he didn't pay much attention to these details, such as housing subsidies, rental subsidies and household registration in second-tier cities. He believes that these are not factors that need to be considered. In other aspects, he will also consider taking care of his family and the city's educational and medical resources. Of course, his first choice is to stay in Beijing. After all, Beijing has gathered the most R&D and industrial resources in his industry.

Another doctor of literature who graduated from Tsinghua is also considering going to a university in Guangdong recently. The treatment is generally better than Beijing, and the policy flexibility is relatively high. Some universities are even willing to solve the work of the partners who introduce talents. On the one hand, he should consider the treatment, but he can't just consider the treatment completely. His early thirties are still a critical period for his study, and the school platform is also very important. According to reports, he is more likely to go to ordinary non-key universities in Guangdong.

On February 9th, 65438 and 58 Tongcheng and Anjuke released the Report on Talent Policy and Housing Employment in 20 19, which pointed out that from the comprehensive indicators of urban population cohesion, economic development and talent policy friendliness in 20 19, Chengdu, Chongqing, Wuhan and other cities are still cities with strong talent attraction and strong policies.

The report pointed out that Nanjing, Chengdu, Zhengzhou and other cities compete for innovative talents with bachelor degree or above, and the positioning of talents corresponds to the positioning of their urban industrial development, and matches their urban competitiveness and talent attraction. Chengdu, Wuhan and other cities are affected by the talent policy, and the registered population has increased significantly. Since the beginning of this year, the policy of talent settlement in more than 100 cities has landed, which is bound to have a new impact on population mobility.

Normalization of population policy

According to the data of 58 cities and Anjuke platforms, the visit popularity of new houses in cities such as 20 19,/kloc-0 1- 10/0, Xi, Chongqing, Wuhan and Chengdu is much higher than that in first-tier cities, and from the perspective of year-on-year growth rate, the visit popularity of Wuhan, Shenyang and Ningbo all exceeds 20%. People in the same city explained that behind the population movement is the flow of capital, and the new population not only brought capital by itself, but also attracted the flow of capital.

In the first half of this year, Zhou Xianwang, Mayor of Wuhan, said in a public event that Wuhan should promote the urban population to jump from100000 to 20 million. That night, the news spread quickly in Wuhan real estate, investment and other industry circles.

65438+At the beginning of February, the Measures for the Administration of Points Entering Houses in Wuhan (version 20 19) was officially announced. The biggest change is the cancellation of the annual limit on the number of settlements, and you can settle in Han with a cumulative score of more than 75 points. Integral household registration refers to non-local household registration. Those who do not meet the current household registration policy can get corresponding scores through the integral index system. After the total score reaches the specified score, you can apply for permanent residence in this city.

The boss of a foreign-funded enterprise in China told 2 1 Century Business Herald that he had been to Zhengzhou, Yan 'an and Lianyungang for field research. He pays close attention to China's urbanization and population policies, as well as the city's infrastructure. The number of young people in the city and the net inflow of population are one of the key indicators of his investigation, which determine whether his company should invest in that city.

Not only foreign-funded consumer goods companies, the head of market development in Southwest China of a giant Internet platform bluntly said that when they decide whether to set up an office in a city, they will look at the local macroeconomic data bulletin, including population and per capita income, and also consider the age structure of the local population.

165438+ 10 In October, 2 1 Century Business Herald reporters attended an investment promotion meeting held by the Dongguan Municipal Government in Beijing. When recommending Dongguan, Xiao Yafei, the mayor of Dongguan, used a full page of data PPT to emphasize the population advantage of Dongguan. In terms of population, Dongguan is one of the cities with the highest proportion of migrants in China. In recent years, the annual net inflow is around 654.38 million. In 20 18, the total resident population of the city exceeded 8.39 million, and the actual managed population was nearly 1 1 10,000, which was second only to Guangzhou and Shenzhen among the nine cities in the Pearl River Delta.

Xiao Yafei said that the steady inflow of population will provide a steady stream of power for the urban development of Dongguan. While the population is rising, the population structure of Dongguan is constantly being optimized. The data shows that by 20 18, the total number of talents in Dongguan has exceeded1950,000, including high-level talents1260,000 and professional and technical talents of 233,000.

Distinguished professor Minglu of Antai College of Economics and Management of Shanghai Jiaotong University mentioned many times in an interview with 2 1 Century Business Herald that the concept of talent is controversial. He believes that from the economist's point of view, there is only the concept of labor resources, not the concept of talent. The bigger the city, the more it needs industries at both ends, including high-tech industries and some supporting services.

In fact, from 20 17 to the end of 20 19, China's talent policy for cities other than Beijing and Shanghai has increasingly become a "population policy". In addition to attracting some highly educated talents, these cities are also constantly reducing the rules and regulations that prevent the normal flow and settlement of the population.

Some scholars have also raised objections, taking the relaxation of the population settlement policy as an example. These policies are normal policies of population mobility, not preferential policies provided by the government. This can only show that under the pressure of declining demographic dividend and aging population, the population policy of local governments is becoming more and more normal.
