Li Zhiming: Realizing high-quality and full employment is of great significance to the people | pattern | significance
Employment is the greatest livelihood. The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposes to strengthen the priority policy for employment, improve the employment promotion mechanism, and promote high-quality and full employment. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China's employment work has achieved historic achievements and undergone historic changes. The total employment volume has continued to grow, the employment structure has been adjusted and optimized, and the quality of employment has significantly improved. At the same time, it should be noted that compared with the people's need for a better life and the objective requirements for high-quality economic and social development, the structural contradiction in employment in China still exists, and the quality of employment needs to be further improved. High quality and full employment is an important manifestation of high-quality population development, which is of great significance for improving people's quality of life, increasing potential economic growth rates, building a new development pattern, and achieving common prosperity for all people. In the new era and new journey, we must deeply implement the employment priority strategy, promote the realization of high-quality and full employment, and promote the high-quality development of human resources.
High quality and full employment is the essence of improving people's quality of life. The quality of life of the people includes not only the economic and social development achievements that can be enjoyed, such as per capita disposable income, housing area, basic public services, etc., but also the spiritual satisfaction brought to people by the continuous improvement of the quality of life. Realizing high-quality and full employment is not only an important foundation for increasing income, improving social security, and improving people's quality of life, but also a main reliance for enriching, ensuring, and sustaining the sense of gain, happiness, and security of the people. Only by continuously promoting the expansion of employment and the improvement of quality, and allowing more people to realize their own value through labor, can we better improve the quality of life of the people.
High quality and full employment is a necessary condition for increasing the potential economic growth rate. Generally speaking, the potential growth rate is the economic growth rate that a country can achieve under the conditions of optimal allocation and full utilization of various resources during a certain period of time, and it is also the economic growth rate under full employment. In recent years, the supply and demand relationship of labor force in China has shown new characteristics, with a decreasing trend in the total supply of labor force year by year, and labor shortages occurring in some regions and fields. At the same time, the transfer speed of surplus rural labor is slowing down. The combined effect of these factors will to some extent lead to a decrease in the potential economic growth rate. By promoting high-quality and full employment and transforming the demographic dividend into a quality dividend, labor resources can be fully utilized, leading to a certain degree of increase in potential economic growth rate from the supply side. In addition, the current global political and economic landscape is undergoing profound changes, with insufficient total demand constraining economic growth. In this context, achieving high-quality and full employment is conducive to optimizing the income distribution pattern, expanding the middle-income group, promoting the improvement of social security, and helping to unleash domestic demand potential, promoting the increase of potential economic growth rate from the demand side.
High quality and full employment is an important support for accelerating the construction of a new development pattern. To accelerate the construction of a new development pattern with domestic circulation as the main body and domestic and international dual circulation promoting each other, the key is to take expanding domestic demand as the strategic starting point and accelerate the cultivation of a complete domestic demand system. From the perspective of the economic cycle, employment is a bridge connecting social demand and supply, and a link connecting production, exchange, distribution, and consumption. From the demand side, it is necessary to drive the smooth economic cycle through demand, both currently and in the future, which depends on the expansion of consumption scale and consumption upgrading. Realizing high-quality and full employment not only helps people stabilize their income expectations and enhance their willingness to consume, but also helps to promote low-income groups into the middle-income group and unleash the potential for domestic demand. From the supply side perspective, it is currently necessary to deepen the supply side structural reform to smooth the domestic economic cycle, optimize the supply structure, improve the quality of supply, and enhance the adaptability of the supply system to domestic demand. Optimizing the allocation of labor resources to achieve high-quality and full employment is an important way to promote supply side structural reform and stimulate innovation vitality.
High quality and full employment is an important way to achieve common prosperity for all people. Now, China has reached a historical stage of solidly promoting common prosperity. To achieve common prosperity for all people, we must, on the basis of maintaining sustained and healthy economic development, effectively narrow the income distribution gap, expand the size of the middle-income group, and form an olive shaped distribution structure with a large middle and small two ends. Employment is the main means for members of society to obtain income. Promoting high-quality and full employment can help disadvantaged groups and those who are prone to returning to poverty solve employment problems, improve employment quality, effectively improve the income level of low-income groups, and narrow the income distribution gap, which is crucial for promoting social fairness and justice. At the same time, it is also conducive to expanding the scale and proportion of middle-income groups, creating more material and spiritual wealth for the people, and playing an important role in promoting social stability and harmony.
