The home service industry in Beijing is expected to become more attractive both as a job and as an industry.
Sources at the Beijing People's Political Consultative Conference said resistance to home service work is melting away from minds of the city's laid-off workers.
The Conference suggested the establishment of municipal centers which supervise property management, household mending and installation, and house keeping services.
Modern city life is creating a need for industrialization home services. This will create job opportunities for laid-off workers, said vice director of the Social Judicial Committee of the Conference.
Beijing residents have long desired a home service industry. The demand is expected to drive new economic growth. There are few high quality home help services in Beijing and customers are always complaining.
In the past, few laid-off workers in Beijing desired to work as home, helpers, jobs largely taken by young women from the countryside. At the same time, some city residents have not felt safe trusting rural girls with modem household machines or with their small children. Many people would pay more for reliable house keepers who are more familiar with city life, but they have had no way of getting one, even though the city is home to thousands of laid-off workers.
By the end of June this year, there were 30,600 jobless workers in the city. Most of them are women in their 40' s, who are not blessed with particular skills and who have had their work ethics shaped by the planned economy. Many of them were at a loss when they first realized they had lost their jobs and a way of life they had got used to for decades.
They never imagined being laid-off by state-owned enterprises; they never considered other kinds of employment. For them, the private sector meant taking risks; housekeeping implied lower social status. Gao Yunfang, 44, is a pioneer who is breaking the ice. She sells the Beijing Morning Post in the morning, and works at two households in the afternoon. She earns 1,000 yuan per month. So she no longer worries about her daughter's tuition at a university in Shanghai.

In which ways is home service industry good for our society？
听力原文： I will let you know that there's a big difference between undergraduate and graduate school. Undergraduate school is very course-intensive. That's all you do: go to classes and go to labs. In graduate school, you have a lot of free time. Much of your learning is self-initiated, and you're typically taking a much lighter class load. This gives you more time for independent study and research. While you're in graduate school, you're going to have to develop yourself as a scientist. You do this by performing creative and thorough research and developing a reputation for being a good scientist. You'll also be developing your speaking skills. You have to be comfortable in presenting your results and your research to very critical audiences. That's very important. You also want to attend conferences where you can mingle with your peers and groups from other universities, because these will eventually be your colleagues at some point. Also, it's important to attend seminars and colloquy that your university has. Not only does this keep you informed of what is the latest and greatest in your area, but also lets you hear about other unrelated areas as well. You can't be so focused, you have to have a broad base of knowledge.
