As the proposal has mentioned, the "Internet Plus" strategy will be adopted to promote the integrative development of the Internet and the economic society.

"During the 13th Five-Year Plan period, occupations that are closely related to Internet and information have a bigger chance to double income," said Mo Rong, director of the Institute of International Labor and Social Security under the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security.

Zhao Peng, former CEO of zhaopin.com said, “The strategy is expected to generate a greater demand for experts in big data and software engineering.

"The plan provides broader development space for the career."
