“Work near home, flexible schedule, and decent earnings,” says 39-year-old Rezihul Maimaiti with a smile, working at a machine in one of the family workshops of the Tanzjin company in the village of Tanyi in the city of Tumshuk, XUAR. She used to take care of the children at home, but now, on the recommendation of her younger cousin, she works here in her free time, earning an additional income of more than three thousand yuan per month.

As Li Ping, Deputy General Director for Administrative Affairs of the Xinjiang textile company “Tangjin,” explained, the enterprise has implemented a model of “head office + family workshops + rural households.” Small equipment for performing relatively simple operations, which can be operated by people of different ages, is placed directly in residential areas. The company supplies the equipment and textile semi-finished products for free and then collects the processed products. Residents receive payment for the work performed.

“To date, more than 930 family workshops have been created, each providing jobs for three people. Taking logistics into account, employment for about three thousand people has been ensured,” noted Li Ping. According to him, the annual income of one household from the work of a family workshop is approximately between 30,000 and 50,000 yuan.

Family workshops “Tanjin” are an example of how local authorities promote employment for residents close to home. This model of flexible employment, based on family labor with the support of the local community, allows women to realize their potential while simultaneously caring for their families.
