为使各界更好理解政策内容,现就有关问题解答如下:一、我国现阶段完善永久居留制度有何背景和意义?当今世界综合国力的竞争,归根结底是对人才特别是高层次人才的竞争。
近年来,随着我国经济社会持续转型发展,对高层次人才的需求日趋迫切,到我国创业发展的外籍高层次人才数量迅速增加。
特别是2008年国际金融危机以后,以“千人计划”为龙头的海外高层次人才引进工作整体快速推进,中央层面引进了2700余名海外高层次人才,3年多来引进的海外正教授数量,是前30年的几十倍,在海内外引起了强烈反响。
据统计,各省区市地市以上城市自2009年以来引进了两万多名海外高层次人才。
海外高层次人才已逐渐成为提高我国自主创新能力的领跑者和生力军,成为我国人才队伍的重要组成部分和现代化建设的特需人才资源。
“绿卡”制度是欧美发达国家在全球范围内开展人才竞争,吸引和留住高层次人才的一项重要制度。
例如美国每年发放100多万张“绿卡”,其中高层次人才职业移民“绿卡”达14万张。
我国“绿卡”制度自2004年8月由公安部、外交部开始实施,目前已为近5000名外国人办理了永久居留手续,其中有相当一部分是海外高层次人才及其家属,“绿卡”制度已成为我国吸引海外高层次人才的一项重要制度。
随着近年来我国海外高层次人才引进工作迅速发展,我国“绿卡”门槛过高、程序复杂、适用范围小、相关待遇不够明确等问题日益突出,亟待研究解决。
