In Chinese province, officials to be judged by performance
December 7th, 2011 - 3:42 pm ICT by IANSBeijing, Dec 7 (IANS) Achieving a civil servant’s position in China has literally meant a sort of guarantee of a lifelong employment in government office. But now things aren’t likely to remain as a new beginning is being made in Guangdong province.
Staff members working in state administrative organs in China’s Guangdong province will now be issued with a contract of employment instead of a lifetime guarantee, China Daily reported.
As per the new system, the civil servants in the province will be paid according to their performance. The new system will break the decades long “iron rice bowl” which used to mean a guaranteed job for life in government.
The province has also vowed to recruit officials from the grassroots level. The new employment system will be enacted during the 12th Five- Year Plan (2011-2015).
