Abstract
Strengthening the protection of the rights and interests for workers in new types of employment is of great significance to achieving high-quality and full employment and satisfying the people's yearning for a better life. In order to show the focus and weaknesses of the government in the protection of workers' rights and interests in new types of employment, a two-dimensional analysis framework including policy tools and policy objectives was constructed, and the content analysis method was used to quantitatively analyze 83 policy texts on the protection of workers' rights and interests in new types of employment. The results show that the current Chinese government has too low the frequency of use of demand-based policy tools, neglected vocational skills training, and some policy tools are not strongly coordinated with policy objectives. Therefore, it is suggested that in the future, the government can optimize the allocation of policy tools, coordinate the structure of policy objectives, and strengthen the synergy between policy objectives and policy tools.
