From June 9 to 14 this year, the Kwan Seng Federation collected 122 valid questionnaires in the form of physical and online questionnaires. It was found that nearly half of the unemployed grass-roots citizens accounted for 48.4%, and the reduction in working hours accounted for 24.6%. Cheng was not affected by the epidemic.

The survey also interviewed the views on the employment protection plan. 42.6% agreed and 35.2% strongly agreed that the policy had loopholes. They did not think that the employer would fully reimburse the subsidy to the employees. Nearly 80% of the respondents thought that the supervision penalty for the employment protection plan was insufficient. Jiucheng believes that salary subsidies should be given directly to in-service employees.

The Commission said that the survey showed that the grassroots did not trust their employers. It suggested that the government must introduce unemployment benefits that lasted for several months. The loopholes in the employment protection plan should be repaired to directly help the grassroots instead of saving the market.
