Guangdong Adopts New Labor and Industry Strategy
Guangdong will adopt a new strategy known as "double transfers" to maintain sustainable development. The strategy features transferring labor-intensive industry from the Pearl River Delta to less developed regions in the north, east and west of the province. At the same time, workers from those less developed areas will be encouraged to work in local manufacturing and service industries, or find employment in the more advanced Pearl River Delta. Nearly 50 billion yuan will be allocated to realize the strategy over the next five years. The province will select three industrial transfer zones every year to accommodate labor-intensive manufacturers.
