China has seven days of public holidays for the Lunar New Year – which runs from Jan 21 to 27 – but many workers don’t plan to return until after Feb 5, the day of the traditional Lantern Festival.
Businesses and local governments are now kicking into gear to minimise the disruptions. They are doling out cash, arranging recruiting trips for employers and organising job fairs to make sure workers return in early February. During a visit to the market last week, most shops were closed and employees at the few still open were busy sorting their inventories and making last-minute sales to workers returning home.
And even when the labour market recovered in June 2020, a small proportion of migrant workers didn’t return to their jobs once they’d left.
