(1) Significance of solving people's livelihood problems
Social construction is closely related to the vital interests of the broad masses of the people. Focusing on solving the most concerned, direct and realistic interests of the people and making the achievements of economic development more reflected in improving people's livelihood is an indispensable environmental guarantee for promoting the construction of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, which is of great and far-reaching significance for building a well-off society in an all-round way.
(1) Improving people's livelihood is the essence and purpose of the Party. The China * * * Production Party is the vanguard of the working class in China, the people of China and the Chinese nation, and represents the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people in China. Our party regards serving the people wholeheartedly as its fundamental purpose, and always insists that the interests of the people are above everything else. All the tasks and responsibilities of the party are to realize, safeguard and develop the interests of the people. Whether the people's livelihood issues that the people are most concerned about can be solved well is an important test of the party's ruling ability. Only by constantly solving people's livelihood problems can we win the trust and support of the people, and only by winning the trust and support of the people can the party's ruling position be as stable as Mount Tai. Therefore, we must put improving people's livelihood in a more prominent position, always care for the people, always keep people's livelihood in mind, truly achieve "power for the people, affection for the people, and benefit for the people", implement the construction of a harmonious society on the survival, development and happiness of the people, and implement the fundamental purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly on a series of specific policies to benefit the people. Only in this way can we better practice the party's fundamental purpose and consolidate the party's ruling position.
(2) Improving people's livelihood is an inevitable requirement for the implementation of Scientific Outlook on Development. The core of Scientific Outlook on Development is "people-oriented". People-oriented is to continuously meet the people's growing material and cultural needs, that is, to improve the people's happiness index. Scientific Outlook on Development's important goal is to "promote people's all-round development". Man's all-round development is the essential feature of socialism and * * * productism. Only the all-round development of human beings can provide spiritual motivation and intellectual support for socialism. People's all-round development needs education, health and security. "Development is for the people, development depends on the people, and the fruits of development are shared by the people." This is one of the most wonderful expositions in the report of the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and it is also the starting point and foothold of Scientific Outlook on Development. This requires us to adhere to the "first priority" of development, at the same time, we must follow the fundamental method of "overall consideration", vigorously strengthen social construction, always take improving people's livelihood as the development goal, effectively solve the most concerned, direct and realistic interests of the broad masses of the people, resolve various contradictions and conflicts of interest in reality, and continuously improve the people's material and cultural living standards.
(3) Improving people's livelihood is an objective need to give full play to the superiority of the socialist system. The essence of socialism is to liberate and develop productive forces, eliminate exploitation and polarization, and finally achieve prosperity. The essence of socialism requires that the distribution of social wealth should be just, fair and reasonable, and that social wealth should be shared by all people and shared by all. This is the greatest superiority of socialism. Comrade Deng Xiaoping emphasized in 1987 that poverty is not socialism. Socialism is to vigorously develop productive forces, make people rich and live a solid and happy life. Therefore, on the basis of liberating and developing productive forces, it is an objective need to pay attention to and improve people's livelihood so that all the wealth created by working people can be enjoyed by the whole people. This is to give full play to the superiority of the socialist system.
(D) Improving people's livelihood is an important cornerstone of building a harmonious socialist society. Social harmony is the goal of our party's unremitting struggle and the social ideal of the people of all ethnic groups in China. The core of building a harmonious socialist society is to solve the problem of interest balance and maintain social fairness and justice. Improving people's livelihood, especially solving people's livelihood problems in difficulties, is the basic condition for promoting social fairness and justice and realizing a harmonious society. Looking at the development history at home and abroad, people's poverty will inevitably lead to unrest; Paying attention to people's livelihood will promote social development and maintain social harmony. Therefore, only by accelerating economic development, paying close attention to people's livelihood issues and taking more active and effective measures to improve the living conditions of people in need can all people enjoy the fruits of reform and opening up, thus achieving social stability and harmony.
(5) Improving people's livelihood is the realistic need of social civilization and progress. With the deepening of reform and opening up, especially due to the economic transition and social transformation, the interest pattern of different classes has undergone new changes, and the people's livelihood issues in China are facing many new issues and new contradictions. Due to historical and natural reasons, some livelihood problems with basic survival nature have not been completely solved, the employment problem caused by single economic growth target orientation, the widening income gap between regions, urban and rural areas and different classes caused by imperfect distribution system, the difficulties in seeing a doctor, going to school and housing caused by the lagging development of social undertakings and the shortage of social public goods, and the production safety and environmental pollution problems caused by the inadequate transformation of extensive economic's growth mode. These problems urgently need to be solved as soon as possible, otherwise it will not only affect economic and social development, but also endanger social stability and affect the process of social civilization. Therefore, measures must be taken to ensure and improve people's livelihood in a more prominent position.
