自1986年实行劳动合同制以来,我国的合同工队伍发展迅速,截止1989年10月,全民所有制企业共招收合同工1010万人。但由于劳动合同制的推行缺少相应的配套措施,合同工中途要求解除合同、自动离厂流出的现象屡屡发生。如:山西某厂1987初招收合同工220名,到当年7月,离厂的就有51名;上海某船厂1986～1987年两年间离厂的 Since the implementation of the labor contract system in 1986, China’s contract workforce has developed rapidly. By October 1989, the entire people-owned enterprises had recruited 10.1 million contract workers. However, due to the lack of corresponding supporting measures for the implementation of the labor contract system, the contract workers have been required to terminate the contract and have been leaving the factory automatically. For example, a factory in Shanxi recruited 220 contract workers at the beginning of 1987. By July of that year, there were 51 workers leaving the factory; a Shanghai shipyard left the factory in 1986-1987.
