Scholar: China should import ASEAN labor force to battleaging population
l
China could further ease its visa policies to facilitate labor flow from ASEAN countries intoChina's aging society, suggested a consultant of the State Council.
Addressing the annual Conference on China’s Economy and International Cooperation inBeijing, the consultant, Wang Huiyao, proposed that a demonstration zone of China-ASEAN free labor flow be established.
“China has an aging society, while ASEAN countries are rich in labor population. There aremaybe 200,000 more Filipino housekeepers in China, who may not be holding work visas. Tens of thousands of Vietnamese technicians are working in Guangxi. All this shows thatwe have a sound cooperation basis with ASEAN countries for mid- and high-level workforces,” Wang said.
“Cooperation on human resources could be the biggest growth opportunity for China-ASEAN cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative,” added Wang, who is also directorof the Center for China and Globalization.
By easing visa policies, Wang explained, the inflow of human labor could solve the laborshortage facing some coastal cities in China.
Wang stressed that tourism will be an additional key component of promoting the Belt andRoad Initiative among ASEAN countries.
