Chen Baosheng, Minister of Education, said that in the past 70 years, after generations of unremitting efforts and hard work, China's education has undergone earth-shaking changes. In recent years, education expenditure has become the largest expenditure in China's general public budget. In 20 18, the education expenditure accounted for 14.6% of the general public budget expenditure.

Chen Baosheng said that after 70 years of hard work, China has built the largest education system in the world today: 519,000 schools at all levels, 276 million students at all levels and full-time teachers at all levels16.7 million. It took us more than 20 years to complete the road of compulsory education popularization in developed countries for hundreds of years.

Chen Baosheng said that in the past 70 years, education has trained 270 million talents for the country through higher education and vocational education. "48.2% of the newly-added laborers in China have received higher education, with an average length of education of 13.6 years."

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China has intensified its efforts to achieve educational equity, leaning towards rural areas, vulnerable groups, ethnic minorities and poverty-stricken areas.

Chen Baosheng said: "We must adhere to the people-centered development thinking, so that the fruits of educational reform and development can benefit every member and every student, and let them change their destiny and create their dreams through learning."

Employment is the biggest livelihood. Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security Minister Zhang Jinan said that the employment situation in China has remained stable for a long time and achieved full employment. The employment scale has been continuously expanded, the employment structure has been continuously optimized, and the quality of employment has been steadily improved. Among them, the number of employed people increased from 1949 to1800,000 in 20 18 years, an increase of 3.3 times, of which urban employment increased by 27.3 times. In recent years, the number of new jobs in cities and towns in China has exceeded13 million for six consecutive years, and the annual increase is close to 1949.

When talking about how to do a good job in employment, Zhang Jinan said that at present and in the future, human resources and social security departments should grasp "a bright spot" and achieve "five efforts". "One highlight" is to highlight the priority orientation of employment, and "five efforts" is the bottom line of efforts to reduce the burden on enterprises, promote entrepreneurship to promote employment, focus on vocational skills training, focus on improving employment services, and focus on people's livelihood.

The average life expectancy has increased from 35 to 77 years.

People's health is an important symbol of national prosperity and prosperity. Ma, director of the National Health and Wellness Commission, said that the health level of China residents has been continuously improved over the past 70 years. The average life expectancy increased from 35 to 77 years, the infant mortality rate decreased from 200‰ to 6. 1‰, and the maternal mortality rate decreased from 1500/65438+ million to 18.3/65438+ million.

Ma said that China has established a three-level medical network covering cities (provinces, cities and counties) and rural areas (counties, townships and villages), so that all people can enjoy basic medical care. In 20 18, private hospital beds accounted for more than 26% of the total beds in China. There are more than 990,000 medical and health institutions in China with 8.4 million beds. The total number of health system personnel reached 123 1000, the number of doctors per thousand population reached 2.59, and the number of nurses per thousand population reached 2.94, exceeding the average level of middle-income countries.

Ma said that the next step is to deepen medical reform and solve the problem of difficult medical treatment for ordinary people, mainly from the perspective of resource allocation and career development. First, steadily promote the construction of national medical centers. The second is to continue to implement the county hospital capacity improvement project. Third, we should integrate the resources of regional medical institutions. Fourth, promote the reform of medical insurance payment methods. In terms of stock, through the utilization and revitalization of existing resources in four aspects, we will further promote graded diagnosis and treatment and promote patient diversion.

The basic livelihood of 60 million people in difficulty has been guaranteed.

Minister of Civil Affairs Huang said that since the founding of New China, civil affairs has made historic development and achievements. "Social assistance has developed from temporary measures to institutionalized security, and a social assistance system based on minimum living security has been established, which guarantees the basic livelihood of about 60 million people in need every year and has woven a basic livelihood network."

Huang said that in the next step, the Ministry of Civil Affairs will work with relevant departments to further improve policies and measures, mainly to further liberalize the aged care service market, encourage the development of aged care services, improve the aged care service system, expand the supply of aged care services, provide more diversified aged care services for the elderly, and further improve the quality of aged care services.

"Our country has basically established the world's largest social security safety net in just a few decades." Zhang Jinan said that in the past 70 years, China has brought more and more people into the scope of security, and its security capacity has been continuously enhanced and its security level has been continuously improved. The basic old-age insurance has covered more than 950 million people, and the accumulated balance of the three insurance funds for old-age, unemployment and work-related injuries is 6.8 trillion yuan, and the number of social security card holders is nearly 654.38+03 billion. The number of people participating in unemployment and industrial injury insurance is over 200 million, covering most occupational groups.

With regard to the training of skilled personnel concerned by the society, Zhang Jinan said that the national vocational skills upgrading campaign will be implemented, and the balance of the unemployment insurance fund of 654.38 billion yuan will be used to subsidize the training of 50 million people in three years.

Wang said that since the founding of New China 70 years ago, China's housing security system has been continuously improved and its security capacity has been significantly improved. Now we have established the largest housing security system in the world. China's urban per capita housing construction area increased from 8.3 square meters in 1949 to 39 square meters in 20 18, and the rural per capita housing construction area increased to 47.3 square meters. With the deepening of the reform of the housing system, the affordable housing project has been accelerated, and more than 80 million sets of various types of affordable housing and sheds have been built, helping more than 200 million people solve their housing difficulties.

"In the next step, we will speed up the improvement of the housing security system and the housing market system, speed up the solution of the housing problems of low-and middle-income residents in cities and towns, especially new citizens, and promote the realization of housing for all." Wang said that specific measures include further improving the security of public rental housing, vigorously developing and cultivating the housing rental market, developing shared property housing according to local conditions, and steadily promoting the transformation of urban shanty towns.
