On Poverty Alleviation

Rural poverty decreased to 35 million 970 thousand

The white paper says that China is implementing a planned and organized large-scale poverty alleviation and development in the whole country. In 2009, the number of poor people in rural areas was reduced to 35 million 970 thousand, and the incidence of poverty was 3.6%.

With the sustained and rapid development of social economy, the income of urban and rural residents has increased steadily.

The per capita disposable income of urban residents increased from less than 100 yuan in 1949 to 15781 yuan in 2008. The per capita net income of rural residents rose from 44 yuan in 1949 to 4761 yuan in 2008.

The white paper points out that in recent years, the Chinese government has vigorously promoted the construction of the social security system, accelerated the establishment of a social security system covering urban and rural residents, and worked hard to achieve the basic living guarantee for all.

In 2009, the number of urban basic endowment insurance reached 235 million 500 thousand, and the total number of basic medical insurance for urban employees, basic medical insurance for urban residents and new rural cooperative medical insurance totaled over 1 billion 200 million.

About pension

In 2035, two people supported a retiree.

Wang Xiaochu, Vice Minister of the Ministry of human resources and social security, said that according to statistics, by 2008, the total amount of talent resources in China has reached 114 million, while the labour force resource is 1 billion 60 million, accounting for about 10.8%.

Some experts point out that China will face two taxpayers' support for a pensioner by 2035.

Yesterday, a reporter suggested that some countries in order to deal with the problem of aging society, extend the retirement age of workers and increase their employment time, do not know whether the Chinese government will do so? Wang Xiaochu said in an interview with reporters, aging is a very important issue in China. At present, the problem of retirement age is still being studied in China.

This problem needs to be studied comprehensively considering the situation of population structure change and employment in China.

The Ministry of human resources and social affairs has noticed that some countries abroad have studied, discussed or decided to raise their retirement age. At the same time, we have noticed that there are still some disputes abroad. For example, a number of large-scale demonstrations have taken place in some countries recently.

According to statistics on the proportion of women in the employment population, according to statistics, in 2008, the number of employed women in the country has exceeded 45.4%.

About employment

100 million pfer of surplus labor force in rural areas

Yin Chengji, director of the policy research division of the Ministry of human resources and social affairs, and a spokesman for the press, said that the current employment situation in China is very grim and the employment task is very arduous.

This year, the number of college graduates is expected to reach 6 million 300 thousand. In addition, there will be about 6 million students who will not continue to study after graduating from junior high school or senior high school. In addition, there are still a large number of urban laid-off workers and military veterans who need to arrange employment.

The total number of people who need employment all year round is about 24 million, while only about 12 million people can be employed in China.

In addition, with the acceleration of China's urbanization process, a large number of rural surplus labor force pfer employment pressure is increasing, there are still more than 100 million surplus rural labor force needs to pfer.

At the same time, the structural contradiction of employment in China is very conspicuous.

At present, the phenomenon of "recruitment difficulty" and "employment difficulty" coexist in China, such as the difficulty of recruitment of migrant workers in spring and the difficulty in obtaining employment after autumn university graduates. Some enterprises' "recruitment difficulties" coexist with job seekers' "employment difficulty" simultaneously, which highlights the further aggravation of structural contradictions.
