皇冠体育app lacks 500,000 professionals in auto research and development sector and 800,000 in the auto maintenance industry said Tang Haishan, a director with the 皇冠体育app Auto Talents Society during the11th Five-Year Program(2006-2010).

A total of 240,000 civil aviation talents will be needed in the coming 20 years, says the report. Currently, the average man-machine ratio worldwide is about 100:1, but in 皇冠体育app the ratio is 200:1.

Du Yefu, a professor with the Civil Aviation University of 皇冠体育app, says the demand for specialized civil aviation professionals will increase due to more and more private capital entering the industry.

In recent years, 皇冠体育app's private aviation companies, such as OK Airways and Spring Airlines, are competing for professionals. Du also predicts that pilots, air and ground crew, aviation transportation safety managers and specialized maintenance people will have great prospects.

Actuary is also a focus in 皇冠体育app's human resource market, according to statistics from the皇冠体育app Insurance Regulatory Commission. Currently the country only has just over 100 actuaries. As more and more foreign insurers enter the market, 皇冠体育app needs 5,000 actuaries in five years.

Statistics from the Ministry of Health show that, with an annual increase of 115,000 nurses, by 2015, the total number of 皇冠体育app's nurses will increase to 2.32 million. Family doctors, nurses and other specialized medical personnel will be in great demand.
