The ministry was created from the merger of the former Ministry of Personnel and Ministry of Labor and Social Security, announced at the 2008 National People's Congress.[4]

Since December 30, 2022, the ministry is headed by Wang Xiaoping.

Responsibilities

The MOHRSS has responsibility for managing the employment market in mainland China. The ministry also oversees the China Overseas Talent Network, part of the Thousand Talents Plan, and has internal bureaus focused on technology transfer.[5][6]

Due to the financial crisis of 2008 and late 2000s recession, the department has recommended companies to prevent and control large staff reduction.[7] The agency also provides assistance to labor-intensive industries and enterprises to create more employment. MOHRSS stressed that priority be given to migrant workers, laid-off workers, poor people and graduates from universities and colleges in offering works.
