Continuously promoting high-quality and full employment, providing everyone with the opportunity to achieve self-development through diligent labor, and lifting the stable happiness of the masses. The social security system is a safety net for people's lives and a stabilizer for social operation. The government work report proposes to strengthen social security and services. The minimum monthly standard for basic pension for urban and rural residents has been raised by 20 yuan. We will continue to increase the basic pension for retirees, increase the supply of childcare services through multiple channels, and increase efforts to fill the gaps in rural elderly care services. Starting from reality, starting from the shortcomings, and starting from demand, we will effectively strengthen the safety net of ensuring people's livelihoods, making the guarantee more precise and warm. The achievements of modernization construction will benefit the general public more and more fairly. Effectively ensuring and improving people's livelihoods, strengthening and innovating social governance, every task needs to be done well, and every list needs to be implemented. For example, improving the capacity of medical and health services, promoting the coordinated development and governance of medical insurance, medical care, and medicine, implementing and improving settlement for medical treatment in different regions, promoting mutual recognition of inspection and testing results, and expanding the types of drugs used for chronic and common diseases in grassroots medical and health institutions; For example, enriching the spiritual and cultural life of the people, deepening reading activities for the whole nation, innovating the implementation of cultural welfare projects, and improving the level of free opening services for public cultural venues; For example, maintaining national security and social stability, improving the level of public safety governance, enhancing emergency response capabilities, and strengthening overall social security prevention and control. The upbringing and education of children, the employment and success of young people, and the medical care and elderly care of the elderly are all matters of common concern to everyone. We must work together to do these things well
