[Event] In June, 5438+October, 2007 10, the Office of the National Leading Group for the Reform of Rural Compulsory Education Funding Guarantee Mechanism issued a notice. Starting from this spring semester, the state will exempt students from tuition and miscellaneous fees in rural compulsory education, and the family economic burden of 654.38+0.5 billion rural primary and secondary school students will be generally reduced. Moreover, this year, the government also launched a free education plan for normal students, increasing the financial allocation by more than 654.38+0.4 billion yuan, and improving the national student aid system.
[Opinion] After years of "fee-based education", China's compulsory education has finally completely opened the "free door" to rural children all over the country. Education is the cornerstone of national rejuvenation, and educational equity is the foundation of social equity. The government has renewed the educational concept, adhered to the public welfare nature of education, and promoted the balanced development of compulsory education in urban and rural areas, which won the hearts of the people.
(2) More than 200 million urban residents have benefited from medical insurance, and the sunshine of their dreams has come true.
165438+1October 6, at the Labor and Social Security Office of Daoli District Engineering Sub-district Office in Harbin, the staff were showing the publicity materials on the basic medical insurance policy for urban residents in Harbin.

[Event] On July 10, the State Council issued the Guiding Opinions on Launching the Pilot Project of Basic Medical Insurance for Urban Residents. The establishment of the basic medical insurance system for urban residents is another important measure after the basic medical insurance system for urban workers and the new rural cooperative medical system in China, which mainly solves the problem of medical treatment for non-employees in cities and towns, especially primary and secondary school students, children, the elderly and the disabled, benefiting more than 200 million urban residents.
[Comment] The three systems constitute the basic medical insurance system covering urban and rural areas in China, and "everyone enjoys medical security" is no longer far away. According to the plan, the State Council identified the first batch of 79 cities in China to participate in the pilot program of basic medical insurance for urban residents. By the end of the 11th Five-Year Plan, China will fully implement the medical insurance system for urban residents. Universal health insurance, the sunshine of dreams is gradually shining into the real life of ordinary people.
(3) More than 20 million farmers have been included in the subsistence allowance, and the integration of urban and rural areas has accelerated again.
[Event] On July 1 1, the State Council issued the Notice on Establishing the Rural Minimum Living Security System in China, demanding that all eligible rural poor people be included in the scope of protection, so as to solve the food and clothing problem of rural poor people in China stably, permanently and effectively. In 2007, China will establish a rural minimum living security system in an all-round way. At present, more than 20 million people are included in the rural minimum living security system.
[Comment] The comprehensive establishment of the urban and rural subsistence allowance system means that another long-standing "dual structure" gap between urban and rural areas has been erased, and urban-rural integration has accelerated again. In addition to achieving full coverage of rural subsistence allowances, some places have gradually raised the standard of rural subsistence allowances and formed a rural social assistance system with the rural subsistence allowance system as the core.
(four) the implementation of the property law, those who have permanent property have perseverance.
[Event] 1 0 June1day, the Property Law was formally implemented. This law, which refreshes the number of deliberations by the highest legislature many times in the legislative process, clarifies the equal subject status of citizens' private property rights and state-owned and collective property rights, which means that more people will enjoy the sunshine of wealth more fully and equally.
[Comment] There is a proverb abroad: private thatched cottage, "Wind energy can enter, rain can enter, but you can't enter". The implementation of "Property Law" has put forward a new task for governments at all levels in China to administer according to law. Administrative organs and administrative personnel will not be able to carry out acts such as expropriation and land expropriation at will. Once the parties object to the exercise of administrative power, they should also be provided with judicial relief. The spread and popularization of the concept of real right will lay a solid foundation for the government to administer according to law.
(V) "Property income" entered the report of the Party Congress, and the people entered a new era of financial management.
[Event] 10 was held in The 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in the middle and late years. In line with the trend of China's March towards a well-off society in an all-round way, the report of the Party Congress first proposed "creating conditions for more people to have property income".
[Comment] To let more families learn how to manage money and have property income is to increase the proportion of middle-income people in a certain sense, so that the social structure tends to be "olive-shaped" and the distribution is reasonable, which is conducive to social harmony. The rapid development of the stock market in 2007 gave people the most intuitive feeling of property income. With the stock market changing from a big bull market to a volatile adjustment, China people need to think more rationally and scientifically about how to increase the proportion of property income.
(VI) Low-rent housing "high-profile" launch, low-income groups are expected to "live somewhere."
10 10 12, low-income households in some cities in Yinchuan who rented low-rent housing were at the check-in ceremony. On the same day, another 60 urban low-income families in Yinchuan got the keys to low-rent housing. At present, the coverage of low-rent housing in Yinchuan has covered 1605 urban low-income households. Xinhua News Agency reporter Liu Quanlong photo (data picture)
[Event] On August 7th, the State Council issued "Several Opinions on Solving the Housing Difficulties of Urban Low-income Families", in which low-rent housing was placed in a prominent position. According to the timetable determined by this opinion, before the end of 2007, all cities with districts should basically guarantee all urban low-income families who meet the housing difficulties and apply for low-rent housing rental subsidies; Before the end of 2008, all county towns should be basically guaranteed. By the end of the Eleventh Five-Year Plan, the scope of the national low-rent housing system should be extended to low-income families with housing difficulties.
[Comment] Such a "high-profile" launch of low-rent housing not only reflects the demand of low-income groups for "living and living", but also reflects the determination of the party and the government to establish a housing security system including low-rent housing and affordable housing, and is an effective measure to curb the excessive rise in housing prices.
(7) Food prices are rising too fast, and the government frequently regulates them.
This year, marked by the sustained and rapid rise in pork prices, food prices remain high, which makes people, especially poor families, feel pressure. Affected by rising food prices, CPI rose by 4.6% in the first 1 1 month of this year. It is estimated that the annual price increase is the highest since 1996. In order to control the price of meat, the central government increased about1800 million yuan to subsidize urban low-income households and needy students in colleges and universities. At the same time, the state has increased its support for pig farmers, subsidizing only fertile sows, and the financial expenditure at all levels has increased by more than 4.8 billion yuan.
[Opinion] Over the past year, the livelihood problems caused by "meat price" have never left the vision of the people and the government. Subsidize the needs of vulnerable groups and let the government belong to the government; Adjust the market with economic leverage and let the market return to the market. The regulatory measures taken by the government have achieved certain results. However, it should be noted that this round of price increase has its complexity, and some food price increases are recoverable, which is conducive to increasing farmers' income. What needs to be prevented at present is that prices will change from structural rise to obvious inflation, which should be one of the primary tasks of macro-control next year.
(VIII) The wave of "persuasion and withdrawal" has risen again and again, and the labor contract law has sorted out labor relations.
[Event] On June 29th, the National People's Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) voted to pass the Labor Contract Law. Subsequently, in Beijing, Guangdong and other places, some enterprises terminated or re-signed labor contracts with long-serving employees in advance, which eventually formed the "persuasion of ebb tide". The deep reason for this trend is the Labor Contract Law, which will be implemented on June 65438+ 10 1.
[Comment] This law requires employers to pay economic compensation in accordance with the law when dissolving and terminating labor contracts, and guide employers to sign long-term labor contracts with workers. According to experts, the labor contract law will gradually change the employment mode of many enterprises in China, which will help workers to better arrange their career plans and encourage enterprises to establish harmonious labor relations and talent retention systems.
(9) The outbreak of cyanobacteria in Taihu Lake gave birth to a new concept of "ecological civilization"
[Event] On May 29th, a sudden drinking water crisis swept through Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, and the chief culprit was cyanobacteria in Taihu Lake. Subsequently, cyanobacteria broke out in Dianchi Lake and Chaohu Lake, and the high-growth China entered the stage of "intensive water pollution outbreak", highlighting the pain of rapid economic growth. On July 12, the State Environmental Protection Administration announced that China will set stricter environmental protection standards in Taihu Lake, Chaohu Lake and Dianchi Lake basins, and take "high-limit punishment" measures for illegal polluters to further expand the scope of "regional approval". Subsequently, the relevant state departments frequently used fiscal and taxation levers to regulate the "two high and one capital" industries, to curb over-exploitation and abnormal export of resources, and to curb the rebound of investment in industries with high energy consumption and high pollution.
