七、在改善民生和創新管理中加強社會建設

VII. Strengthening Social Development by Improving the People's Wellbeing and Making Innovations in Management

加強社會建設，是社會和諧穩定的重要保證。必須從維護最廣大人民根本利益的高度，加快健全基本公共服務體系，加強和創新社會管理，推動社會主義和諧社會建設。

Strengthening social development is an important guarantee for maintaining social harmony and stability. We must intensify our efforts to improve the basic public service system, strengthen and make innovations in social management, and boost the building of a harmonious socialist society in order to uphold the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people.

加強社會建設，必須以保障和改善民生為重點。提高人民物質文化生活水平，是改革開放和社會主義現代化建設的根本目的。要多謀民生之利，多解民生之憂，解決好人民最關心最直接最現實的利益問題，在學有所教、勞有所得、病有所醫、老有所養、住有所居上持續取得新進展，努力讓人民過上更好生活。

In strengthening social development, we must give high priority to ensuring and improving the people's wellbeing. To improve people's material and cultural lives is the fundamental purpose of reform and opening up and socialist modernization. We should bring as much benefit as possible to the people, resolve as many difficulties as possible for them, and solve the most pressing and real problems of the greatest concern to them. We should keep making progress in ensuring that all the people enjoy their rights to education, employment, medical and old-age care, and housing so that they will lead a better life.

加強社會建設，必須加快推進社會體制改革。要圍繞構建中國特色社會主義社會管理體系，加快形成黨委領導、政府負責、社會協同、公眾參與、法治保障的社會管理體制，加快形成政府主導、覆蓋城鄉、可持續的基本公共服務體系，加快形成政社分開、權責明確、依法自治的現代社會組織體制，加快形成源頭治理、動態管理、應急處置相結合的社會管理機制。

To strengthen social development, we must accelerate social structural reform. With the aim of establishing a socialist system of social management with Chinese characteristics, we should quicken the pace of building the following mechanisms and systems: a law-based social management system featuring Party committee leadership, government execution, nongovernmental support and public participation; a basic public service system that is government-led and sustainable and covers both urban and rural areas; a system of modern social organizations in which functions of the government are separated from those of social organizations, rights and responsibilities are clearly established, and social organizations exercise autonomy in accordance with the law; and a social management mechanism that resolves public complaints at the source, exercises dynamic administration, and responds to emergencies.

（一）努力辦好人民滿意的教育。教育是民族振興和社會進步的基石。要堅持教育優先發展，全面貫徹黨的教育方針，堅持教育為社會主義現代化建設服務、為人民服務，把立德樹人作為教育的根本任務，培養德智體美全面發展的社會主義建設者和接班人。全面實施素質教育，深化教育領域綜合改革，著力提高教育質量，培養學生社會責任感、創新精神、實踐能力。辦好學前教育，均衡發展九年義務教育，基本普及高中階段教育，加快發展現代職業教育，推動高等教育內涵式發展，積極發展繼續教育，完善終身教育體系，建設學習型社會。大力促進教育公平，合理配置教育資源，重點向農村、邊遠、貧困、民族地區傾斜，支持特殊教育，提高家庭經濟困難學生資助水平，積極推動農民工子女平等接受教育，讓每個孩子都能成為有用之才。鼓勵引導社會力量興辦教育。加強教師隊伍建設，提高師德水平和業務能力，增強教師教書育人的榮譽感和責任感。

We should provide well-rounded education for all students, deepen overall education reform, focus on improving the quality of education, and cultivate in students a sense of social responsibility, a spirit of innovation and the ability to acquire practical skills. We should develop preschool education, promote balanced development of nine-year compulsory education, make senior secondary education basically universal, accelerate development of modern vocational education, and bring out the full potential for development of higher education. We should actively develop continuing education, improve the system of lifelong education, and build a learning society. We should vigorously promote fairness in education, and ensure balanced allocation of educational resources with a focus on rural, remote, poor and ethnic minority areas. We should support special education, increase subsidies to students from poor families, and ensure that children of rural migrant workers in cities have equal access to education. All this is designed to help all children gain required knowledge and skills. We should encourage and guide nongovernmental entities to run educational programs. We should strengthen the ranks of teachers, and enhance their work ethics and professional competence as well as their sense of honor and responsibility as teachers.

（二）推動實現更高質量的就業。就業是民生之本。要貫徹勞動者自主就業、市場調節就業、政府促進就業和鼓勵創業的方針，實施就業優先戰略和更加積極的就業政策。引導勞動者轉變就業觀念，鼓勵多渠道多形式就業，促進創業帶動就業，做好以高校畢業生為重點的青年就業工作和農村轉移勞動力、城鎮困難人員、退役軍人就業工作。加強職業技能培訓，提升勞動者就業創業能力，增強就業穩定性。健全人力資源市場，完善就業服務體系，增強失業保險對促進就業的作用。健全勞動標準體系和勞動關系協調機制，加強勞動保障監察和爭議調解仲裁，構建和諧勞動關系。

We should ensure that people have realistic expectations about employment, encourage creating employment through multiple channels and forms, and expand job opportunities by creating new businesses. We should increase job opportunities for young people, especially university graduates, the rural migrant labor force, urban residents who have difficulty finding jobs, and ex-servicepersons. We should strengthen vocational skill training; improve people's ability to find jobs and start up their own businesses; and enhance employment stability. We should improve the human resources market and employment services, and make unemployment insurance play a bigger role in promoting employment. We should improve the system of labor standards and the mechanism for harmonizing labor relations, strengthen supervision of labor protection and labor dispute mediation and arbitration, and build harmonious labor relations.

（三）千方百計增加居民收入。實現發展成果由人民共享，必須深化收入分配制度改革，努力實現居民收入增長和經濟發展同步、勞動報酬增長和勞動生產率提高同步，提高居民收入在國民收入分配中的比重，提高勞動報酬在初次分配中的比重。初次分配和再分配都要兼顧效率和公平，再分配更加注重公平。完善勞動、資本、技術、管理等要素按貢獻參與分配的初次分配機制，加快健全以稅收、社會保障、轉移支付為主要手段的再分配調節機制。深化企業和機關事業單位工資制度改革，推行企業工資集體協商制度，保護勞動所得。多渠道增加居民財產性收入。規范收入分配秩序，保護合法收入，增加低收入者收入，調節過高收入，取締非法收入。

A proper balance should be struck between efficiency and fairness in both primary and secondary distribution, with particular emphasis on fairness in secondary distribution. We should improve the primary distribution system to allow factors of production such as labor, capital, technology and managerial expertise to have their due share of income according to their respective contribution; and we should take speedy steps to improve the mechanism of secondary distribution regulating income distribution mainly through taxation, social security, and transfer payments. We should deepen reform of the wage and salary system in enterprises, government bodies and public institutions, promote collective bargaining on wages in enterprises, and protect income earned through work. We should increase proprietary individual income through multiple channels.
