Officials have expressed their views and passed on the benefits of people's livelihood.

During the two sessions of the National People's Congress, around the topic of increasing people's income, the heads of many ministries and commissions expressed their views and sent positive signals.

On the first ministerial channel, the National Development and Reform Commission said that 20021year would promote domestic consumption. It is mainly to increase the income of urban and rural residents through multiple channels and improve the domestic consumption capacity and level.

Hu Zucai, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, also stressed at the press conference of the State Council Office that efforts should be made to increase the income of low-income groups and expand middle-income groups; Residents' income growth should be basically synchronized with economic growth, improve the reasonable wage growth mechanism, increase the proportion of labor remuneration in the initial distribution, improve the participation mechanism of innovative factors, and increase property income through multiple channels.

The outline of the 14th Five-Year Plan clearly puts forward to promote common prosperity in a more positive and promising way. Hu Zucai's interpretation of this is: closely following the main contradiction of insufficient development imbalance, the main direction is to narrow the gap between urban and rural development and income distribution, and solidly promote common prosperity.

Specifically, it is to "cut the cake" while "making a big cake". We should do a good job in employment, income distribution, education, social security, medical care, housing, old-age care, child care and other livelihood and welfare work, and give more attention to rural areas, grassroots and underdeveloped areas, and people in need.

Tax reduction is closely related to income increase, otherwise Dong Mingzhu, a representative of the National People's Congress, would not have called for raising the tax threshold for many years. According to the data of the Ministry of Finance, during the Thirteenth Five-Year Plan period, China's accumulated tax reduction and fee reduction scale exceeded 7.6 trillion yuan, and the scale of new tax reduction and fee reduction in 2020 exceeded 2.6 trillion yuan. Liu Kun, Minister of Finance, said on the ministerial channel that this year, we will continue to implement institutional tax reduction and fee reduction policies such as deepening the reform of value-added tax and special additional deduction of personal income tax, and the overlapping effect of policies will continue to be released, and the burden of people and enterprises will become more and more obvious.

For low-income groups, document 202 1 No.1 of the Central Committee has clearly defined the tone, and the income of farmers continues to grow faster than that of urban residents, and the results of poverty alleviation continue to be consolidated. Carry out dynamic monitoring of rural low-income population and implement classified assistance.

At the same time, Minister Liu Kun also said that he would implement the normalization assistance for rural low-income population, support the monitoring and early warning for preventing poverty from returning to poverty, strengthen the follow-up support for ex situ poverty alleviation and relocation, support the industrial development in poverty-stricken areas, stabilize the employment of poor people and continuously increase their income.

How to increase income? Many representatives "support"

Liu Shangxi, member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and president of China Academy of Fiscal Science, believes that the scale of low-income groups must be reduced, and the formation of low-income groups has innate institutional factors. For example, the existing nearly 300 million migrant workers are hard to enjoy the treatment in the same city. Just like poverty control, we must fight a tough battle for social reform with equal treatment in the same city as the core.

Wei, deputy to the National People's Congress and director of the Institute of Rural Development of China Academy of Social Sciences, believes that farmers' income is measured according to the per capita disposable income of families, and the increase of per capita income can be achieved in two ways: first, narrowing the denominator through urbanization, reducing the rural population, leaving more opportunities for the development of rural population, which is conducive to the large-scale enterprise development of land. Second, from the molecular point of view, through reform and innovation to stimulate farmers' endogenous sources of income, and promote the development of local industries. In the past, farmers in poor areas mainly relied on farmers to work in other places, and there was no corresponding industrial support in the local area, which may lead to the decline of rural industries in the long run.

Lu Keping, deputy to the National People's Congress and secretary of the Party Committee of Henan University, suggested that on the basis of improving the monitoring and assistance mechanism for poverty prevention, we should establish and improve the assistance mechanism for rural low-income people in poverty-stricken areas. For example, explore professional and targeted assistance mechanisms such as education development, medical and health care, cultural revitalization, and scientific and technological transformation.

Liu Shijin, deputy director of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference Economic Commission and vice chairman of the China Development Research Foundation, said that the so-called middle-income group refers to people with an annual income of 654.38 million to 500,000 RMB for a family of three. At present, the size of this group in China is about 400 million. China will strive to double the number of middle-income groups in about ten years, and the number of middle-income groups will increase to 800-900 million, accounting for more than 60% of the total population. Liu Shijin believes that expanding middle-income groups should focus on 280 million migrant workers, who are most likely to enter the middle-income level from a lower income level at this stage.

Fan Xiaoyun, member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and executive vice president of the School of Finance of Nankai University, suggested increasing investment in innovation, expanding domestic demand policies, improving the business environment and promoting consumption upgrading, increasing residents' income, improving the income distribution structure, and promoting a higher level of opening up.

Expand employment and increase residents' property income

Wen Bin believes that the financial income of residents should be increased. Because real estate accounted for a relatively high proportion of residents' wealth in the past, in the next stage, with the development of the capital market, the structure of residents' wealth will be further optimized, and the proportion of financial assets in residents' wealth will be further improved. "It is necessary to guide residents' savings allocation to the capital market through intermediaries. On the one hand, it contributes to the sustained and healthy development of the capital market, on the other hand, it also helps to increase personal property income and optimize the wealth structure. " He said.

It must be mentioned that under the background of expanding domestic demand, it is very urgent to increase the income of residents.

Kang Jia, a researcher at China Academy of Fiscal Science and president of Huaxia Institute of New Supply Economics, told Zhongxin Jingwei client that China's per capita annual income has reached 30,000 yuan, but there are still 600 million people whose monthly income is only 1 10,000 yuan. In addition, in recent years, the "sandwich class" with a total population of about 400 million is lower than the income level of the middle class, and the consumption power of this total population of 654.38 billion is still relatively limited.

In Konka's view, how to improve the consumption power of ordinary people, that is, to increase the income of low-income workers and alleviate consumption differentiation, is a problem that needs attention and solution. On the one hand, actively encourage employment and provide better employment opportunities; On the other hand, to optimize and strengthen the government's transfer payment to low-income people, the target of assistance is usually all kinds of vulnerable groups.
