Chengdu: Free accommodation for job seekers
Chengdu, the capital city of Southwest China's Sichuan province, proposed in August to construct public apartments for talents and provide rental houses in industrial areas. Companies were also encouraged to build houses for employees working in shifts.
The city has set up 20 special hostels since July, which will provide seven days' free accommodation for job seekers from other places.
As for permanent residence, the new policy issued in July allows young talents with bachelor's degrees or above and skilled workers at the same company over two years to apply for residence registration in Chengdu.
