IC talent shortage is all-encompassing
In the past 2017, the global IC industry went further into maturity and the M & A slowed down and enterprises entered a period of deep integration. Correspondingly, the distribution of global IC talent is also in the process of development and change, and different regions show different Characteristics of the number and quality of personnel point of view, Wei Shaojun that both the knowledge level of personnel, or the overall quality of the United States are the first echelon, compared to other areas are superior.For example, innovative talents, system-level personnel, The United States accounted for a considerable proportion of the original belong to the first echelon of Europe, due to the decline in the IC industry in recent years, the status of talent is lost.Japan and South Korea belong to the second echelon.In recent years, Japan's integrated circuit industry also has Decline, but the Japanese advocate the spirit of artisans, the semiconductor is also a need very carefully polished artisanal industries, so Japan's semiconductor talent is still abundant, especially in the older generation of semiconductor talent a lot, while South Korea by Samsung, Hynix Driven by large enterprise groups and so on, the quantity and quality of talents are all getting better exhibition.
At present, the development of talented people in mainland China is mainly at the end of the second tier, and after years of development, a batch of talented people has been cultivated in our country, but both quantity and quality are not enough to support the rapid development of the current industry Specifically, the current status of talent in Mainland China exists mainly in two aspects: First, the lack of high-end talent. 'How many of our entrepreneurs have experience working in multinational corporations? How many engineers in our technical team Once worked as a chief designer in a large international company? Our leaders, including the operation and management of enterprises and technology research and development, both in quantity and quality are lacking. "Wei Shaojun said.
More seriously, in addition to high-end talent, China's basic areas of integrated circuits lack the same basic personnel.According to calculations, China's IC industry by 2020 probably requires seven or eight million practitioners.But we can only meet about half of the demand Quantity.While in a team, not only the need for outstanding leaders, these leaders also need different aspects of the basic talent in order to form a ladder, to unite combat effectiveness. 'For the lack of high-end leading talent, we are a bit psychologically prepared However, it is quite unexpected that there should be such a large gap in the basic talents, "said Wei Shaojun.
This is also one of the important reasons that led to the mutual scarcity of domestic enterprises in the recent stage and substantially boosted the operating costs of enterprises.
Restricting the speed and quality of the industry
So, the current lack of all-round talent for the healthy development of the industry will have any impact? The first is to restrict the pace of development of China's IC industry.China's IC industry as a whole lags behind the global level of development.In terms of advanced manufacturing technology, About two generations behind in order to catch up with the level of international advanced technology will come up with a faster pace of development, but the lack of talent will constrain the pace of development in our country, followed by the development of the industry beyond the present status of the overall development of China's IC And development strategy are followed by others, but this should not be the norm, catch up and lead is the goal of industrial development one day in the future if the level of China's integrated circuits has been developed and run in other countries and phase, the lack of forward-looking China's integrated circuit can not really achieve beyond, just follow the imitation behind others.Finally, the lack of talent will push up the cost of business, thus resulting in decreased competitiveness, product prices.
Wei Shaojun also said that the reasons for the current situation include both objective factors such as the disconnect between supply and demand caused by the rapid industrial development and subjective factors such as the chaotic investment conducted by some local governments to make the quantity insufficient and not concentrated enough Of personnel, to further disperse, at the same time each other angle also artificially raised the manpower costs.
Policy supporting government should make a difference
Subject to lack of talent, in recent years, China's IC enterprises to increase the introduction of overseas talent efforts.Enterprises want to attract high-end overseas talent, and to make the introduction of talent play a role, at least three aspects of work to be done: to provide adequate business Development of space, good treatment and a good living environment.
Wei Shaojun believes that with the development of China's IC industry in recent years, as well as the emphasis on talent for enterprises, career development and giving good treatment to imported talents is achievable, but some unaccompanied policies still bring overseas talents Many environmental inconveniences. 'For example, one place is very inconvenient immigration, employment difficulties of children, housing is very expensive ... Enterprises to attract talent will be greatly reduced efforts to adjust this policy adjustment, support and improvement is The government should do the work. "Wei Shaojun said.
High-end leading talent gap may be able to solve some of the problems by overseas introduction (of course, should still be based on local talent training), but for basic talent, we must rely on strengthening university education and business training capabilities.But Wei Shaojun also proposed that the current Chinese university The microelectronics disciplines are very limited in their ability to cultivate. There are only a few thousand undergraduates each year, and the number of master's students with more than 10,000 students is still very small compared with the demand.
Among the current education system in our country, the subject setting also brings the characteristics of the era of planned economy: the undergraduate education programs in colleges and universities have been set up according to the disciplines of disciplines, major disciplines (first-level disciplines), professional (second-level disciplines) Three levels to set.Microelectronics or related disciplines belong to two subjects.A two-level discipline in a university can only configure two classes 60 people.
In response to this problem, Wei Shaojun pointed out in particular that to solve the problem of shortage of talents in integrated circuits in our country, we should change the existing institutional mechanism through the structural reform of the supply side with the attitude of reform. Only in this way can we establish a long-term development mechanism .
When talking about "White Paper on China's IC Industry Professionals (2016-2017)," Wei Shaojun pointed out that at least three issues should be solved: one is to find out what the family background is, and the other is that it is causing widespread concern among governments, enterprises and the society Third, we put forward targeted solutions, and only by finding out our own talent pool and the distribution of qualified personnel can we find targeted solutions that can mobilize different social forces and solve problems together. If we do not know the specific gap of talents and where is the structural problem, how can we take a targeted solution? That is why we have compiled the "China IC Industry White Paper (2016-2017)" .
