The Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China clearly stated that "increasing efforts to protect and improve people's livelihood" emphasized that we must do our best and within our capabilities to strengthen universal, basic and comprehensive people's livelihood construction.
In areas related to people's livelihood in our country, all sectors of society are full of expectations on how the spirit of the Plenary Session can be transformed into concrete implementation paths and solve people's livelihood difficulties. In this regard, this newspaper interviewed a number of members of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, combined with their actual research, to study and interpret the spirit of the plenary session and respond to the concerns of the masses.
Zheng Jun, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and deputy chairman of the Hubei Provincial Committee of the Kuomintang Revolutionary Committee:
Make the "safety net" denser and the "sunshine" warmer
Governing the country should be based on the interests of the people. The Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China clearly stated that "meeting the people's growing needs for a better life is the fundamental purpose" and "strengthening universal, basic and comprehensive people's livelihood construction", anchoring the course and providing guidance for people's livelihood work in the new era.
“The plenary session’s deployment has provided a profound insight into the essential laws of people’s livelihood development, so that the results of modernization can benefit all people more and more equitably. The key lies in solving the problem of uneven development through institutional innovation.” Zheng Jun, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and deputy chairman of the Hubei Provincial Committee of the Kuomintang Revolutionary Committee, said in an interview that this judgment originated from his in-depth research at the urban and rural grassroots levels in Jingchu, and also from a deep understanding of the spirit of the plenary session.
In Zheng Jun’s view, the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China will regard “steadily promoting equalization of basic public services” as one of the core tasks of people’s livelihood construction, which is in line with the “improving multi-level social security system that covers the entire population, coordinates urban and rural areas, is fair and unified, safe and standardized, and is sustainable” proposed by the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. The "safety net" of social security and the "equal line" of public services are like the "twin pillars" that support people's livelihood and well-being. The former protects the bottom line of survival, and the latter improves the quality of life. The coordinated efforts of the two are the key path to implement the plenary session's requirement of "improving the quality of people's lives."
During the survey, problems such as gaps in rural education resources and insufficient protection for workers in new forms of employment allowed Zheng Jun to clearly see the concrete manifestations of unbalanced development in the field of people's livelihood, and he became more determined to solve the problem accurately in the spirit of the plenary session. The practical exploration of equalization of public services has always been guided by the clear direction of the plenary session to "solve the urgent, difficult and anxious problems of the people". The "Jingchu Excellent Teachers Plan" he promoted in his university is a vivid footnote. Under this plan, targeted normal w88 casino students enjoy policy support such as tuition exemptions and living subsidies, strengthen their teaching capabilities through a practice-oriented training model, and directly take root in the rural campus where the contract was signed after graduation.
If the "Jingchu Excellent Teachers Plan" is a living practice of equalizing public services, then improving the social security system is a solid protection of the bottom line of people's livelihood.
Zheng Jun believes that the security of workers in the current new employment form is one of the most pressing shortcomings. Many of them face problems such as difficulty in identifying labor relations and the lack of occupational injury protection. It is necessary to closely follow the plenary session's deployment, effectively promote institutional innovation and policy implementation, and speed up the improvement of the social security framework that adapts to the new employment form, so that every worker can enjoy stable security support.
“Fairness in people’s livelihood can be said to be one of the essentials of the people’s livelihood deployment of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.” In Zheng Jun’s eyes, from targeted training of teachers to narrow the education gap to occupational injury protection to protect workers in new industries, every measure is a vivid practice of the spirit of the plenary session. Only by implementing precise policies based on the needs of the masses can people’s livelihood services be more warm.
He further proposed that on the road to future development, we must continue to use institutional innovation to break the barriers to unbalanced development, use precise services to fill the resource allocation gap, make the "safety net" of social security denser, and the "sunshine" of public services warmer, continuously enhance the people's sense of gain, happiness, and security, and build a solid and reliable barrier to people's livelihood for promoting Chinese-style modernization.
Li Guohua, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and deputy chairman of the Shanghai Municipal Committee of the Kuomintang Revolutionary Committee:
“High-quality and full employment carries the people’s yearning for a better life”
Employment is the foundation of people's livelihood and development. Promoting high-quality and full employment is the new positioning and new mission of employment work in the new era and new journey.
The Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China clearly stated that "strengthening job stabilization and promoting employment and promoting stable employment for key groups". Li Guohua, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and deputy chairman of the Shanghai Municipal Committee of the Kuomintang Revolutionary Committee, said that this arrangement not only responds to the people's urgent expectations for "stabilizing employment and improving employment", but also outlines a practical blueprint for mutual promotion and mutual promotion of economic development and employment improvement, demonstrating the people-centered development thinking.
“High-quality employment is not only the ‘results’ of high-quality economic development, but also the ‘source of power’ that activates domestic demand potential and consolidates the foundation for development. "Li Guohua's insights reveal the deep connection between employment and development.
On his research trip, he saw that in Shanghai and many places in the Yangtze River Delta, emerging industries such as integrated circuits and biomedicine have created a large number of high-quality jobs, and the employment expansion effect brought about by the development of new productive forces continues to appear. However, the structural contradiction between the difficulty of finding a job for college graduates and the coexistence of labor shortages in enterprises is still prominent and has become a key obstacle restricting the improvement of employment quality. It also highlights the practical urgency of implementing the spirit of the Plenary Session.
“The key to implementing the spirit of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee is to build an employment promotion system that is ‘policy-led, market-led, and service-supported’.” Li Guohua believes that this requires coordinated efforts and two-way empowerment of policy innovation and service upgrades.
At the policy level, it is necessary to promote the deep integration of employment priority policies and industrial policies, make high-quality full employment a priority goal of economic and social development, provide tax exemptions and social security subsidies to scientific and technological enterprises that absorb employment of key groups, use policy incentives to leverage the enthusiasm of enterprises to increase jobs, and form a virtuous cycle of "enterprises increasing jobs and government incentives". At the service level, it is necessary to rely on the national unified public employment service platform to establish a closed-loop mechanism of "job demand-skills training-employment matching", use digital technology to break information barriers, and use "big data + precision services" to achieve accurate matching of people and jobs, making employment services more targeted and effective.
In his view, improving employment quality requires not only institutional guarantees, but also value guidance. Efforts should be made to create a social atmosphere in which "careers are neither noble nor inferior, but labor is the most glorious." Through active publicity and guidance, college graduates and returned youth are encouraged to take root in grassroots entrepreneurship and employment, and break the cognitive limitations of career choices. It is also necessary to build a stage for growth for every worker, improve the training, use, evaluation, and incentive systems for skilled talents to ensure that they can realize their personal value through honest work and unremitting struggle, so that employment not only becomes a means of making a living, but also an important way to achieve dreams and contribute to society.
From industry-oriented employment in Shanghai to labor cooperation in the Yangtze River Delta, from pilot projects to guarantee new employment forms to targeted assistance to key groups, vivid practices of implementing the spirit of the Plenary Session are spreading in various places. Li Guohua said that high-quality and full employment is a people's livelihood project that carries the people's yearning for a better life. If we want to achieve an effective improvement in the quality of employment and a reasonable increase in quantity, and build a solid foundation for people's livelihood and gather strength to promote Chinese modernization, we must continue to solve employment problems through institutional innovation and provide support for the development of workers with precise services.
Sun Jie, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and deputy dean of the w88 casino of Insurance at the w88 casino:
“People’s livelihood policies must not only calculate economic accounts, but also calculate people’s accounts”
22 departments including the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the National Health Commission recently jointly issued the "Guiding Opinions on In-depth Education on National Conditions of Population Aging", clarifying phased goals and specific measures to inject strong impetus into the implementation of the national strategy to actively respond to population aging. Sun Jie, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and deputy dean of the w88 casino of Insurance at the w88 casino, said in an interview with reporters that this deployment is in line with the spirit of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee and demonstrates the people-centered development philosophy.
“The Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China emphasized the fundamental purpose of adhering to people’s supremacy and meeting the people’s growing needs for a better life. The principle of ‘strengthening universal, basic and comprehensive people’s livelihood construction’ complements the requirement of ‘doing our best and within our capabilities’. Sun Jie believes that as a long-term strategic task, actively dealing with population aging is related to the overall development of the country and the well-being of hundreds of millions of people. The relevant arrangements of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee provide fundamental guidance for the work on aging in the new era.
During in-depth research in urban and rural nursing homes and community service points, she deeply felt that policy support around "one old and one young" has made family life more confident and the whole society's confidence in coping with aging has continued to increase.
Research footprints witness the effectiveness of policies, and practical exploration deepens theoretical understanding. In Sun Jie's view, in response to the aging of the population, the guarantee in the field of "one old and one small" is the key to solving the urgent, difficult and anxious problems of the masses and improving the quality of life, which is highly consistent with the requirements of "promoting high-quality development of the population" proposed by the plenary session.
In recent years, in the construction of a fertility-friendly society, many places have launched childcare subsidies and individual tax deduction policies to reduce the cost of raising a family with real money; some cities have piloted childcare services into communities to accurately solve the problem of "difficulty raising children" in dual-income families. Sun Jie said that the implementation of these policies is a vivid implementation of the requirements for high-quality population development.
At the same time, in the field of elderly care services, with long-term care insurance subsidies, professional caregivers can be hired every month, and the pressure on families with disabled elderly people to take care of the elderly has been significantly reduced. Sun Jie said that these practices are not only based on the steady advancement of the current stage of security capabilities, but also accurately meet the core needs of families, so that family care and social care can form a healthy complement, which is a concrete manifestation of the integration of the active aging concept into the entire process of economic and social development.
“‘Precision’ is the key to policy implementation, and it is also one of the keys to implementing the people’s livelihood deployment of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.” She further proposed that under the requirement of “doing our best and within our capabilities”, all localities need to practice the concept of “precision drip irrigation”: launch regular visits, smart services for the elderly and the elderly living alone Elderly care monitoring and other services use big data technology to accurately identify the needs of elderly people in need and child-rearing families to achieve precise allocation of assistance resources; continue to optimize the layout of elderly care service facilities and promote the extension of high-quality educational resources to the field of childcare, so that the vision of "the elderly have care and maintenance" and "young children have education and excellent education" will gradually become a reality.
“People’s livelihood policies must be calculated not only in economic terms, but also in people’s minds.” Sun Jie said frankly that from improving the supply of elderly care services to strengthening childbirth support, from optimizing the childcare service system to improving the quality of elderly care, every measure must be in the balance of “doing our best and within our capabilities”, and improving the “temperature” of people’s livelihood with the “precision” of the system. This not only builds a solid defense line for people's livelihood to deal with the aging of the population, but also builds a solid and reliable barrier to people's livelihood to promote Chinese-style modernization by improving people's livelihood, so that the results of modernization can benefit all people more and more equitably.
