9. Ensure and improve people’s
wellbeing
1) Implementing a more active
employment policy. We will improve tax policies that support employment,
implement all policies aimed at helping college graduates find jobs or start
their own businesses, and provide good employment services to unemployed
graduates. We will give stronger support for those experiencing employment
difficulties, and work to reemploy those who lost their jobs due to the
phasing-out of excess production capacity. We will strengthen vocational skills
training and public employment services for rural migrant workers. We will become
better able to provide community employment services.
2) Holistically developing the
social security systems for both urban and rural residents. We will establish a
unified basic old-age insurance system for rural and non-working urban
residents, and raise the basic pensions for enterprise retirees. We will
accelerate integration of the basic medical insurance systems for rural and
non-working urban residents, increase medical insurance benefits, promote major
disease insurance for rural and non-working urban residents, and make it
possible for on-the-spot settlement of medical expenses wherever they are
incurred. We will improve the subsistence allowance system for both urban and
rural residents, and comprehensively establish a temporary assistance system.
We will become better able to provide public services related to social
security.
3) Developing social programs
more quickly. We will promote the balanced development of compulsory education;
improve the basic operating conditions of poorly built and run schools
providing compulsory education in poor areas; give the children of rural
migrant workers in cities the same access to education as local urban children;
and continue to raise the proportion of rural students enrolled in key
institutions of higher education. We will accelerate the establishment of an
employment-oriented modern vocational education system. In 2014, plans call for
enrolling 6.98 million undergraduate students and 802,000 graduate students in
regular institutions of higher learning, including 632,000 full-time graduate
students. We will strengthen the medical and public health services systems in
urban and rural areas, improve the mechanism for responding to public health
emergencies and preventing and controlling major diseases, and support
nongovernmental capital in the running of medical institutions. We will promote
the policy of allowing couples to have two children if either parent is an only
child, and become better able to provide population and family planning
services. We will implement the China
Program for the Development of Women and Children and the National Plan for the
Development of Children in Poor Areas. We will improve rehabilitation and
nursing care facilities for people with disabilities. We will continue to
implement cultural projects that benefit the people, quicken development of
public cultural undertakings including the press and publishing, radio and
television, and literature and art as well as the culture industry, and better
preserve and make use of our cultural and natural heritages. We will promote
the flourishing of philosophy and the social sciences. We will improve tourism
infrastructure and actively develop tourism related to the early history of the
CPC. We will improve the public service system for promoting national fitness.
4) Guaranteeing adequate housing
and regulating the real estate market to a suitable degree. We will adhere to
the principle of providing tailor-made guidance, progressing step by step and
holding each level of government responsible for their decisions, and quickly
solve the housing problem for people in the low-to-middle income levels. We
will continue to construct government-subsidized housing in cities and towns;
renovate rundown urban areas and rural homes; increase support for building
supporting infrastructure; combine the operations of the parallel systems of
low-priced rental housing and public rental housing into one; and strengthen
the follow-up management of distribution and operational maintenance. We will
implement policies for regulating the real estate market, and promote the
establishment of a permanent mechanism for the healthy development of the real
estate market.
5) Making innovations in social
governance and public services. We will reorganize community public service
resources; improve the platform for managing comprehensive community services;
and promote the government’s open and transparent procurement of social
services. We will resolutely correct all actions harmful to people’s interests.
继续深化内地与港澳更紧密经贸关系，加快推进内地对港澳服务贸易自由化进程。落实中央支持香港经济发展、加强内地与香港经济合作的有关政策措施，促进香港经济发展和民生改善。支持澳门建设世界旅游休闲中心，以横琴开发建设为契机，推动澳门经济适度多元发展。推进两岸经济关系制度化进程，加快完成海峡两岸经济合作框架协议后续商谈，进一步提高两岸经贸和产业合作水平。
We will continue to implement the
Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement
between the mainland and Hong Kong and Macao, and accelerate the liberalization
of trade in services with the two regions. We will implement the central
leadership’s policies and measures for supporting Hong Kong’s economic
development and strengthening economic cooperation with Hong Kong to boost
economic development and improve people’s wellbeing in Hong Kong. We will
support Macao in becoming a world center of tourism and leisure and in using
the development of Hengqin as a pivot to diversify its economy. We will promote
the institutionalization of the economic relations between the two sides of the
Taiwan Straits, quickly complete the follow-up talks on the Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement
across the Straits, and improve the level of economic, trade and industrial
cooperation between the mainland and Taiwan.
各位代表，做好2014年经济社会发展各项工作，任务艰巨，责任重大。我们要更加紧密地团结在以习近平同志为总书记的党中央周围，高举中国特色社会主义伟大旗帜，以邓小平理论、“三个代表”重要思想、科学发展观为指导，自觉接受全国人大的监督，虚心听取全国政协的意见和建议，坚定信心，振奋精神，开拓创新，攻坚克难，促进经济持续健康发展和社会和谐稳定。
Fellow Deputies,
Accomplishing all the work for economic and social development in 2014 is an arduous task and a great responsibility. We will unite even closer around the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as General Secretary, hold high the great banner of socialism with Chinese characteristics, take Deng Xiaoping Theory, the important thought of Three Represents and the Scientific Outlook on Development as our guide, willingly accept the oversight of the NPC, and seek comments and suggestions from the CPPCC National Committee with an open mind. We will fortify our confidence, bestir ourselves, blaze new trails with a pioneering spirit, and surmount difficulties as we promote sustainable, sound economic development and social harmony and stability. |
