Enhancing the People’s Living Standards Through Institution Building

Аннотация

Ensuring and enhancing the people’s wellbeing in the course of development is one of the major tasks of Chinese modernisation. At present, the world is experiencing accelerating changes unseen in a century, while Chinese society development is facing a shift in its principal contradiction, with imbalanced and inadequate development becoming an increasingly prominent problem. To meet the growing expectations of the people, China must continue to push forward reform. To further deepen reform comprehensively in areas related to the people’s lives, the country should step up institutional transformation by focusing on the main task of institution building and leveraging economic reform as the spearhead. This involves addressing bottlenecks hindering high-quality development, difficulties in improving the people’s wellbeing, and hotspot issues affecting social fairness and justice, including income distribution, employment, social security, healthcare, population development, and integrated urban-rural development. At the same time, greater emphasis should be placed on systemic integration and key priorities, so as to enhance the people’s living standards, promote social fairness and justice, and achieve better alignment between state governance and social progress.
