At present, the complexity, severity and uncertainty of China's economic development environment are rising, and stabilizing growth, employment and prices are facing new challenges. The recent meeting of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee stressed the need to effectively protect and improve people's livelihood, stabilize and expand employment. The more difficulties we encounter, the more we should pay attention to people's livelihood concerns and improve people's well-being. With the sense of responsibility of "always worrying", we must effectively stabilize jobs, expand employment, stabilize prices, ensure supply, and strengthen the bottom line of assistance, so as to ensure and improve people's livelihood. Stabilize jobs, expand employment and consolidate the foundation of people's livelihood Employment is the foundation of people's livelihood, ranking first in the "six stabilities" and "six guarantees". Affected by the epidemic and other factors, the current employment situation is complex and severe. The national urban survey unemployment rate averaged 5.5% in the first quarter, of which it rose to 5.8% in March. The number of people who need to be employed in cities and towns has increased at a high level, but the difficulties faced by enterprises carrying a large number of jobs have increased significantly. Promote enterprises to return to work and reach production under the condition of good epidemic prevention and control; For catering, retail, tourism, civil aviation, highway, waterway and railway transportation and other industries in extreme poverty, the payment of endowment insurance premiums will be suspended in the second quarter; Expand the scope of the phased deferred payment of unemployment and industrial injury insurance premiums to the above five industries; We will increase the proportion of job stabilization return of unemployment insurance for small, medium-sized and micro enterprises, up to 90%... We will continue to introduce and strengthen employment stabilization policies around market players. "At present, a series of measures to stabilize employment are strengthening and increasing efficiency. We should further strengthen the employment priority policy, step up the implementation of detailed deployment, and stabilize the basic employment market." Zeng Xiangquan, director of the China Employment Research Institute of Renmin University of China, said, "stabilizing enterprises is stabilizing employment. We should try our best to help small and medium-sized enterprises reduce their burden and get out of difficulties, so that people can have jobs and income." This year, the number of college graduates exceeded 10 million for the first time, and a large number of migrant workers need to go out to work. It is very important to promote the employment of key groups. Focusing on the employment of college graduates, the Ministry of human resources and social security organized and implemented the plan to raise millions of employment internships and urban and rural grass-roots jobs, carried out the activities of public employment services on campus, and deployed the key service actions for unemployed graduates. "In the next step, we will guide graduates to find employment in small, medium-sized and micro enterprises and urban and rural grass-roots units, steadily expand the recruitment of state-owned enterprises, and support graduates to start their own businesses and find flexible employment. At the same time, in view of the impact of the epidemic, we will guide all localities to adjust and optimize the timing of public sector examination recruitment, so as to leave a time window for graduates to find jobs." Chen Yongjia, deputy director of the Employment Promotion Department of the Ministry of human resources and social security, said. In order to stabilize the scale of migrant workers, especially the people out of poverty, a series of measures are also going hand in hand, such as strengthening inter regional labor cooperation, implementing employment assistance actions in key counties for Rural Revitalization and large resettlement areas for relocation, promoting work relief and increasing migrant workers' employment. Stabilize prices and ensure supply, benefit the people and reassure the people If prices are stable, the market will be stable and the people will be stable. Under the pressure of global inflation, it is very important to maintain the overall stable operation of domestic prices. According to the National Bureau of statistics, consumer prices rose 1.1% year-on-year in the first quarter. However, the prices of some commodities such as fresh vegetables, gasoline and diesel increased significantly, and the prices of bulk commodities remained high. The meeting of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee made it clear that we should do a good job in ensuring the supply and price of energy and resources, and pay close attention to the preparation of spring ploughing; Organize the supply of important livelihood commodities and ensure the operation of urban core functions. "Taking advantage of China's energy resource endowment and focusing on ensuring the supply and price of coal will effectively deal with the impact of input factors such as the rise of international energy prices." Wang Likun, an associate researcher at the market economy Research Institute of the development research center of the State Council, said that grain prices are the basis of 100 prices. At present, spring sowing is the key. We should earnestly ensure the orderly development of spring farming, promote a bumper grain harvest, and lay a solid foundation for stabilizing prices and preventing inflation. At present, the epidemic prevention and control work is in a critical period, and the task of ensuring the supply and price of people's livelihood commodities is very important. "Special attention should be paid to ensuring the supply of materials in high-risk areas, paying attention to abnormal price fluctuations, and maintaining the normal production and life of the people." Xu Guangjian, vice president of China Price Association, said. Jilin and other places have opened up green channels for supply guarantee enterprises of supermarkets, farmers' markets and e-commerce platforms; Beijing has prepared at least one month's reserves for rice flour, grain and oil, storage and transportation resistant vegetables and other materials; Zhengzhou requires each district to prepare more than 50 vans to transport daily necessities... During the May Day holiday, many epidemic affected cities have made great efforts to protect the "rice bags" and "vegetable baskets" of the people. Gao Feng, a spokesman for the Ministry of Commerce, said that in view of the multi-point distribution of the recent epidemic, the special class of the Ministry of Commerce to ensure market supply actively took measures to strengthen the organization of cross regional sources of goods and spare no effort to ensure the total supply of residents' daily necessities. "At present, we should also make full use of the flow dispatching information of the epidemic prevention and control department to allocate materials across regions and even provinces, and reasonably formulate epidemic sealing and control measures to prevent the sharp rise and fall of prices from affecting the basic people's livelihood." Xu Guangjian said. Strengthen the detailed implementation and firmly grasp the bottom line of people's livelihood The downward pressure on prices and the basic income of some residents may be superimposed. In special times, it is even more necessary to put the safety and well-being of the people in mind, and do a good job in ensuring the people's livelihood, so as to ensure that all measures are implemented and effective. Fujian incorporated the implementation of the policy of stabilizing posts and jobs in the first quarter into the assessment of the employment target responsibility system in 2022; Through big data comparison, Shandong directly issues unemployment insurance to qualified enterprises and returns funds for job stabilization; Zhenjiang, Jiangsu, allows people in need to apply for social assistance without leaving their homes; Shanxi and other places have simplified the assistance process for the minimum living allowance recipients, the extremely poor and other low-income people, and cancelled the registered residence restrictions on the temporary assistance of outsiders To effectively protect and improve people's livelihood, we should be "clear-sighted and careful", pay close attention to the changes in the situation such as the epidemic, effectively solve the sudden, urgent and temporary life difficulties faced by all kinds of difficult people during the epidemic prevention and control, and hold the bottom line of people's livelihood. Hulunbuir, Zhuhai, Guilin and other places will further improve the linkage mechanism between social assistance and security standards and rising prices to alleviate the impact of rising prices on the basic lives of local people in difficulty; Since April, the country has continued to implement the phased expansion policy of unemployment insurance security, issuing unemployment subsidies to the unemployed and temporary living subsidies to the unemployed migrant workers; Temporary assistance will be given to those who are temporarily unemployed and uninsured due to the impact of the epidemic To fully implement the spirit of the meeting of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, all localities and departments should always focus on the "urgent difficulties and expectations" of the people, make accurate efforts, and effectively stabilize the economy and benefit the people's livelihood.
