Taking Shuangliu County,Chengdu City,China as an example,evaluation index system for the rights protection effects of farmland transfer is established contract from three aspects of basic information,transfer agreement and legal safeguards in the contracts.According to the investigation data,weight of evaluation index is determined by both entropy weight and Analytic Hierarchy Process.Comprehensive index method is used to evaluate the rights protection effects of farmland transfer contract in the flat dam,high hill and low hill in Shuangliu County,Chengdu,China.Result shows that the transfer agreement of farmland and the basic information of contract greatly affect the rights protection effects of farmland transfer contract.There are differences in the five indices of the information of the signature of contract,pricing for payment,time limit for farmland transfer,transfer mode of farmland,and use range of farmland transfer.During the farmland transfer in reality,there are three hidden dangers in farmer's land rights and interests,which are the ill-formed transfer behavior,the relatively low income of farmers from farmland transfer,and the quality decline of farmland and difficult full reclamation in transfer period.Based on the evaluation result and investigation data,countermeasures are put forward to improve the rights protection effects of farmland transfer contract.

劳动关系微分化视角下网约工劳动权益的法律保障

在算法技术与平台经济相得益彰共同推进数字经济向纵深方向发展的过程中,劳动关系日益呈现出微分化的演化趋势,使得以网约工为代表的新业态从业人员陷入了“身份不明确”的主体性危机与“权益保障难”的双重困境,不仅对传统的劳动从属基础性理论提出了新的挑战,而且也日益凸显现行法律制度供给不足的现状。基于网约工群体经济从属性、人格从属性与组织从属性微分化趋势之系统理论分析,科学审视与证成微分化视阈下具有劳动从属性的网约工“第三类劳动者”之身份,并将“内在经济与人格从属程度的差距均以外在劳动量的差别为表现形式”这一从属性微分化之核心作为识别与判定标准,对具有不同强度从属性的“第三类劳动者”给予不同程度的劳动法倾斜保护,希冀能平衡平台经济有序发展与网约工劳动权益合法保障之间的关系,为健全和完善我国劳动法律制度体系提供符合数字经济内在运行规律的科学立法选择。

劳动权益保障、政府信任与高龄农民工的城市融合

基于调研数据,本文考察了劳动权益保障对高龄农民工城市融合的影响机制。实证结果显示,工资拖欠、工伤纠纷、劳动合同纠纷等劳动权益受损事件均会显著影响高龄农民工城市融合程度。对劳动权益纠纷解决过程的进一步考察发现:第一,劳动权益受损事件发生后,当高龄农民工对维权过程解决较为满意时,其城市融合程度显著高于没有发生过劳动权益纠纷者;第二,政府部门主导解决劳动权益纠纷对高龄农民工城市融合具有一定的“放大效应”。当高龄农民工对维权解决过程满意时,解决过程中的政府干预会显著提高其城市融合程度;当其对维权解决过程不满意时,解决过程中的政府干预反而使其城市融合程度下降的幅度更大。因此,本文认为应健全源头预防,杜绝劳动权益纠纷事件发生;建立农民工劳动权益保护协调机制;强化政府责任意识,属地监管、多部门协同,发挥政府在高龄农民工劳动权益保障工作中的积极作用。

新媒介使用与农民工权益表达——一个有调节的中介效应模型

通过对北京、上海、广州、湖南等省市农民工的调查研究,探索新媒介使用、权益认知、权益损害程度及维权效能感等因素和农民工权益表达之间的影响关系。研究发现:新媒介使用虽能直接影响权益表达,但效果有限,权益认知和权益损害程度等因素在新媒介使用影响权益表达过程中起到中介作用。新媒介使用通过权益认知和权益损害程度影响权益表达的中介过程受到维权效能感的调节作用:较高的维权效能感在权益认知和权益损害程度中介路径上起正调节作用;较低的维权效能感只在权益损害程度中介路径上起正调节作用;维权效能感在新媒介使用直接影响权益表达路径上调节作用不明显。

Safeguard Rights and Interests of Women in Accordance with the Law——the Five-Year Anniversary of the Implementation of the Law of the PRC on the Protection of Righ Is and Interests of Women

超龄劳动者劳动权益保护法律适用研究

超龄劳动者劳动权益保护纠纷是劳动人事争议中的重要案件类型,妥善解决与否直接关系到积极应对人口老龄化国家战略的落实。审判实践中,存在超龄劳动者用工关系性质认定不一、工伤认定难、缴纳社会保险难等问题。面对实践中的疑难问题,超龄劳动者劳动权益保护纠纷裁判规则可作出如下调整:首先,此类劳动者在劳动报酬、工作时间、休息休假、劳动安全卫生、工伤保险待遇等方面适用劳动基准。其次,《劳动合同法》第44条规定的“开始依法享受基本养老保险待遇”仅指职工基本养老保险待遇。最后,用人单位在劳动者享受基本养老保险待遇、达到退休年龄的情况下终止劳动合同,不承担支付赔偿金的责任,应否支付经济补偿可视其是否存在《劳动合同法》第38条规定情形进行类型化的分析和裁量。

新就业形态劳动者纳入职工医疗保险的现实困境与质量提升路径

平台和共享经济等新就业形态逐渐成为社会不可分割的一部分,这使得劳动力市场出现大变革,并催生出大量的新就业形态劳动者,这部分人群工作强度高、流动性强,面临严峻的医疗风险和职业伤害风险。将新就业形态劳动者纳入职工医疗保险是消解其医疗风险、保障其健康权益的有效途径。党的二十大报告指出要加强灵活就业和新就业形态劳动者权益保障,尤其需要保障新就业形态劳动者的健康权益,医疗保险是保障其健康权益的基础性制度安排。基于社会质量理论,对新就业形态劳动者医疗保险的政策发展历程进行了梳理,对存在的现实困境进行了深入分析,建立了新就业形态劳动者纳入职工医保的机制框架,最后从厘清用工关系、完善筹资和待遇给付标准、优化激励机制、健全监管体系和完善配套措施五个方面着手,探究新就业形态劳动者纳入职工医疗保险的质量提升路径。

政府参与视角下的平台零工权益保障策略研究——以合作用工模式为例

平台零工权益保障事关共同富裕大计,是政府治理平台经济的重要内容。“强监管”政策下,以合作用工模式为例,借助动态博弈模型对比三种政府参与模式(包容式平台自治、审慎式直接治理与合作式协同共治)对平台及其合作商保障零工权益行为的影响。研究发现:政府包容式平台自治模式往往导致平台监管动力不足,需要引入政府审慎式直接治理,但存在一个零工权益责任标准的最高阈值,该值取决于劳动市场供给、网络订单收益率、平台规模等;在阈值内,政府可以引入连带问责机制提高平台自治的积极性,此时政府合作式协同治理模式成为最有效的保障策略。一方面尝试回答现阶段平台治理中政府角色转型争议,另一方面也为政府规制模式的选择提供参考。

数字经济背景下对中国新就业形态的现状分析及发展建议

新就业形态作为在数字经济背景下衍生出的一种新经济业态,凭借其智能性、灵活性在经济体系中飞速发展。在数字经济推动下的新就业岗位促进了劳动者素质水平改善、就业资源配置效率提高、男女就业不平等性降低,但同样也造成了对传统产业的冲击、劳动力结构不平衡、新就业者劳动权益保障不足等问题。因此,国家应该持续完善新就业形态相关法律和监管机制,努力提高全体劳动者数字化素质,协助传统产业进行数字化升级。
