Senior Research Income Distribution Reform, May Introduce The Overall Plan During The Year.

On May 24th and 25, the people's Daily published a signed article on the issue of income distribution, and put forward some striking points such as "pushing the household income gap into a large income gap" and "solving the problem of" excessive income gap ".

This move pushed the reform of income distribution to the front stage again.

Although many people interviewed believe that articles on the people's daily should not be over interpreted, the outside world expressed hope for the reform plan of income distribution that had been entangled for many years.

According to this newspaper's understanding, including the national development and Reform Commission, the National People's Congress, the finance and Economics Committee and other institutions are currently conducting continuous research in many provinces throughout the country. The theme of the survey is the reform of income distribution.

In May 25th, our reporter gave evidence to the national development and Reform Commission, and the Information Office of the national development and Reform Commission said that the current income distribution plan is under study.

The responsible person of the Department of employment and income distribution, who led the draft reform, told the newspaper 25 days ago that the income distribution scheme is still in the stage of research and drafting. "If results are released immediately,"

Investigate income distribution and prepare for 12th Five-Year plan

In May, people from all walks of life went to different places and concentrated on the reform of income distribution.

According to our newspaper, Xu Xianping, deputy director of the national development and Reform Commission, who was in charge of employment and income distribution in May 24th, went to Harbin, Heilongjiang, to investigate the distribution of income.

On the morning of that day, Xu Xianping investigated Kyushu Electric, a private listed company in Harbin, Heilongjiang. Kyushu Electric related people told this newspaper that Xu Xianping had mainly learned about the income distribution of employees in various departments of the enterprise, and the chairman of the company also reported to Xu Xianping the standards of wages and performance appraisal.

In fact, due to the complexity of the reform of income distribution and the involvement of many departments, the relevant functional departments are also conducting research.

This newspaper understands that the panel of Finance and economic affairs of the National People's Congress has set up a research group called the national income distribution research group.

This research group mainly investigates the current situation of the distribution of national income, and the main measures, successful experiences and major problems in recent years, including the increase of residents' income and the regulation of income distribution order, as well as the policy proposals for adjusting the income distribution pattern and narrowing the income gap.

In May 6th, the research team arrived in Jiangxi Province, arrived in Fujian Province on 11, and arrived in Anhui Province on the 20 day. Every place will hold a symposium entitled "national income distribution".

From the current survey, the survey should be prepared for the formulation of the 12th Five-Year plan.

During his stay in Fujian, Sun Chunlan, Secretary of the Fujian provincial Party committee, said that before the formulation of the national "12th Five-Year plan", the NPC finance and Economics Committee carried out research on the issue of national income distribution, and put forward good suggestions for the relevant work.

Prior to that, Gao Qiang, director of the budget work committee of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, also said in March 10th that the issue of national income distribution should be studied and resolved in the formulation of the 12th Five-Year plan.

Relevant persons from the Heilongjiang provincial development and Reform Commission also revealed to this newspaper that Xu Xianping's trip is mainly for research and Research on the formulation of the "12th Five-Year plan", and income distribution is the top priority of this trip.

This newspaper learned that Xu Xianping, deputy director of charge of employment and income distribution in the national development and Reform Commission, was entrusted with the task of drafting the "12th Five-Year plan" by the NDRC. {page_break}

The overall plan will be introduced in the year.

The national development and Reform Commission held the national price bureau meeting in May 22nd, calling for "temporary price subsidies to low-income groups in urban and rural areas".

A series of measures of income distribution adjustment are being intensified, and the outside world immediately has a doubt: does this mean that the income distribution plan is coming soon?

Yang Yiyong, director of the Social Development Research Institute of the NDRC, said in an interview with people's Daily that it is time for the reform of income distribution to be introduced. Scholars with official backgrounds call for the urgency of reform.

"The problem of income distribution can be solved a little earlier. It may not be able to solve it. Too late to solve it may miss many opportunities and cause problems to accumulate. It is time to solve this problem." Yang Yiyong said.

Su Hainan, chairman of the China Labor Association's remuneration Specialized Committee, also told this reporter that "at present, no matter from the political basis of deepening the reform of the income distribution system, or from the urgency of public opinion and solving problems, it is time to make up our minds."

Su Hainan pointed out that if the plan is to be introduced as soon as possible, the government departments concerned should be "united" in mind, and at the same time realize that the reform of income distribution must be long-term and patient.

In order to let the whole society see confidence, Hainan pointed out in particular that this year we should work out a general plan for the reform of income distribution, and at the same time clear up several policy measures to solve some outstanding problems and carry out the implementation. "Making sure that the people can see clearly the obvious progress made by themselves, we can better establish the confidence of the whole nation in solving the problem of income distribution."

In an interview with people's daily, Yang Yiyong emphasized that the goal of income distribution reform should be quantified, so that the scheme could be more easily formulated and easier to be implemented locally.

"Energy saving and emission reduction target" was also put into a great pressure when it was written into the 11th Five-Year plan. But with this quantitative goal, it was hard for all parts of the country to catch up. Now it seems that there is not much problem in implementing the promise in the planning. Income distribution is more complicated, but there are quantifiable aspects, such as the ratio of urban and rural income gap, industry income gap ratio, Gene coefficient and other major indicators to measure the distribution of income. What level of control should we control in the next 5 or 10 years? We can have a phased goal. Yang Yiyong said.

What is the resistance of reform?

But there are many resistance to income distribution reform.

The people's daily proposed to avoid "three major misunderstandings" in ideology, that is, the so-called "GDP3000 dollar per capita breakthrough theory", "market regulation theory" and "no big deal".

But the main obstacle in the reform of income distribution is not the problem of cognition, but the issue of interest.

The reform of income distribution involves the spanformation of interests of all strata. Whether it is in the distribution stage or the two allocation stage or even the three distribution charity stage, the adjustment of various interests is very difficult.

Ding Ningning, the social development department of the State Council Development Research Center, told the newspaper: "the biggest obstacle to reform is the initial distribution." The problem of initial distribution is mainly related to the low labor remuneration, monopoly capital and the high profit of land elements.

"A few people, a few units, departments or industries have acquired unfair and unreasonable interests through non labor factors such as resource monopoly, administrative power, market exclusivity and special identities, which have drawn an unfair and unreasonable gap with other workers' incomes, forming some vested interest groups." Su Hainan said that these became the resistance to deepen the reform of the income distribution system.

For example, the monopoly industry is worried about its own interests because of the reform of the income distribution, and the May 24th people's daily article directed against monopoly industries such as electricity, telecommunications, finance, insurance, tobacco and so on.

Su also further introduced the performance of these interest groups: these sectors are generally in a favorable position in the community, and have a greater influence on policy formulation and public opinion propaganda. Because of their own interests, they have deliberately or unintentionally deepened the reform of the income distribution system. At the same time, some policies are difficult to formulate, and some of the policies that have been promulgated are difficult to implement.

According to this newspaper's understanding, at present, the wage system and the reform of the social security system have been in progress. However, the reform of monopoly industries and the profit distribution reform of state-owned enterprises have not progressed rapidly.
