April '99 News and Perspectives about Business Opportunities in Asia

July 11, 1999

Following the trend of personnel retrenchment in national enterprises, research institutes are no exceptions.

However, even while the highest-level research institute, Academia Sinica, annouced
its policy to break the "iron rice bowl" of their personnel, it is interesting to see their plans also include the recruitment of more young and top science talents from all over the world.

I have no idea who has been kicked out of those institutes and other research units, but there should be a number of scientists still useful to other organizations inside or outside OF PRC.

Where can these "drop-out" scientists go? I offer the information below:

1)

Hongkong will accept, on an unlimited basis, PRC scientists with useful background to
help their high-tech or service industries.

2)

One of Taiwan's industrialists has openly requested the government to lift
ROC's ban of talents imported from PRC

3)

While the USA's HIB visa quota of this fiscal year has been completely filled, the
National Manufacturers Association and the American International Personnel
Association have made a joint appeal to Congress to solve the shortage of workers in the computer and engineering industries (caused by many American students not willing to major in said subjects in University).

These initiatives may make the PRC's new measures to woo top scientists to return home could
be in vain.

Let us help those PRC scientists to have a better job and freedom.

1.1 millions colleges graduates are facing fewer jobs in 1999. Causes are: Half of the civil servants, both of national and provincial levels, are going to leave their "iron rice bowl" jobs, as will many employees of national enterprises.

This is the general situation:
Graduates wish to stay in big cities like Beijing.
Employers wish to have staff with higher scholastic degree- MA or PH.D.

The most serious problem is that the education and job-demands in the country are not identical.

How can the PRC or the college grduates themselvesto solve this problem? Or can we suggest for them a certain trick? Let us see.
