Double Pfer: A Breakthrough In The Development Of The Shoe Leather Industry

On the 29 day, the work conference on promoting industrial pfer and labor pfer (referred to as "double pfer") will be held in Guangzhou.

The so-called "double pfer" refers to the pfer of labour intensive industries in the Pearl River Delta to less developed areas, and the pfer of labor force from less developed areas to the two or three local industries and the developed areas of the Pearl River Delta region.

Pushing forward the "double pfer" is the first major decision made by the new round of learning and discussion activities in Guangdong, which lasted for nearly half a year. It is a breakthrough to solve the series of problems in Guangdong's scientific development.

To some extent, whether or not we can advance the "double pfer" smoothly is a decisive battle that concerns Guangdong's future and destiny. It is the key to Guangdong's success in the practice of Scientific Outlook on Development.

In fact, for the strategic significance of "double pfer", Wang Yang, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Secretary of the provincial Party committee, made a deep statement at the end of last year's ten plenary session of the two plenary session of the provincial Party committee: "Guangdong's current position and the next strategic orientation urgently demand us to establish a global perspective.

If we take the position of economic control and control the population, improve the quality of the population, shift the labor-intensive industries and reduce the number of permanent residents, and take measures to solve them seriously, Guangdong will never become a national leader in the per capita level of GDP and the income of urban and rural residents. It is always difficult to create a high level of social security, and we can not build a beautiful living environment for a long time.

It is not hard to see that speeding up the promotion of "double pfer" is the key to solving the three major scientific development problems in Guangdong. It is the key to promoting industrial upgrading, enhancing the overall competitiveness of the economy and building a strong economic province. It is the key to comprehensively solve the problem of population and environmental resources, build a livable environment and achieve sustainable development. It is also the key to solve the serious imbalance of regional development and truly achieve coordinated regional development.

From the economic province to the strong economic province, Guangdong GDP has been leading the country for 18 consecutive years and has become China's largest economic province.

But over the years, Guangdong has never jumped to a strong economic province. Compared with the main coastal cities in the coastal provinces, the average annual growth rate of GDP per capita in our province ranks last.

Promoting the "double pfer" is the key to Guangdong's completion from a major economic province to a strong economic province, and the fundamental reason for the formation of international competitiveness.

Since the total economic volume jumped to the top of the country in 1989, Guangdong GDP has been leading the country for 18 consecutive years, becoming China's largest economic province.

But for many years, Guangdong has never really jumped from an economic province to a strong economic province. The reason is that the mode of economic development is still extensive, the per capita level is low compared with the advanced provinces and cities, and the industrial structure is not optimized.

Taking the GDP per capita that best illustrates the economic development level of a region, the average annual growth rate of GDP per capita in the province has ranked the last in the past ten years, compared with the main coastal cities in the coastal areas. The per capita GDP has dropped from 95.7% in Zhejiang to 88.9% in 2006 over the past 88.9% years.

Why is Guangdong's per capita GDP growth not satisfactory in recent years?

There are many reasons. The most important reason is that the pace of industrial upgrading in the Pearl River Delta is not large, labor intensive industries still occupy a large proportion, and labor productivity is low.

The data show that at present, the Pearl River Delta area furniture manufacturing, leather, clothing shoes and hats and other industries account for 25% of the whole province, but only 8.5% of the added value is created.

In the past ten years, the newly created GDP of every new labour force in our province is 120 thousand yuan, which is much lower than Jiangsu's 880 thousand yuan, Shandong's 220 thousand yuan and Zhejiang's 210 thousand yuan.

Obviously, vigorously promoting the pfer of labor-intensive industries from the Pearl River Delta to the less developed areas is of great strategic significance to the construction of the modern industrial system and the overall competitiveness of the economy in the Pearl River Delta and even the whole province.

For the Pearl River Delta region, only by "cage changing birds" can we make room for the development of high value-added industries, so as to better absorb the dominant labor force in less developed areas and bring higher output value and output of labor force units.

In this regard, Baoan District, Shenzhen, has already tasted the sweetness. Last year, from 1 to October, 108 enterprises were moved out of the region. At that time, the output value of these 108 enterprises was only 2 billion 400 million yuan, and by introducing advanced manufacturing to eliminate backward industries, the same land output value has reached 30 billion yuan.

For some people who worry about whether the industrial pfer will lead to the hollowing of the Pearl River delta industry, experts say there is no need to worry. They say: as long as the relocation of enterprises is carried out in an orderly way under the combined action of all kinds of forces, then the speed of the relocation of enterprises in the Pearl River Delta and the expansion of regulations will be a good thing, which means that the harmonious interaction between the Pearl River Delta and the surrounding areas has already been formed.

More importantly, with the opportunity to accelerate industrial pfer from the PRD to the less developed areas, the cooperation between Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macau will be deepened comprehensively. The problem of industrial isomorphism in the PRD will also be alleviated to a certain extent. Guangdong will take the most crucial step towards building a strong economic province.

Last year, the resident population of Guangdong approached the 100 million mark. In 2008, it is likely to become China's "first large population province".

The huge population denominator not only diluted the development results, but also took less than 2% of the country's total land area, carrying more than 7% of the population of the whole country, making Guangdong and especially the Pearl River Delta's resources and environment difficult to sustain.

Promoting "double pfer" is an inevitable choice for Guangdong to solve the problem of population and resources and environment and achieve sustainable development.

In the past thirty years since reform and opening up, Guangdong has been developing a way of development that relies on comparative advantages, export-oriented and low-cost resources.

On the one hand, this mode of development has achieved thirty years of brilliance in Guangdong. On the other hand, it has brought a series of problems, such as population, resources and environment, and is going into the predicament of unsustainable development. Electricity shortage, oil shortage, coal shortage, labor shortage and land shortage are the concrete manifestation of this dilemma.

Guangdong's relatively extensive development in the past was most concentrated on the rapid growth of population.

It is understood that due to the slow pformation of labor-intensive industries and other reasons, the resident population in Guangdong increased by 11 million people in the past three years, and showed an acceleration of growth.

Last year, the resident population of Guangdong approached the 100 million mark. In 2008, it is likely to become China's "first large population province".

The huge population denominator not only diluted the development results, but also took less than 2% of the country's total land area, carrying more than 7% of the population of the whole country, making Guangdong and especially the Pearl River Delta's resources and environment difficult to sustain.

The land resources available for the province are seriously inadequate, and the per capita cultivated land in the province is only 1/3 of the national average, far below the United Nations designated warning line.

The huge floating population also brings social management problems. Employment, education, social security, medical treatment and housing will become more and more unbearable in the face of the huge population.

The extensive growth pattern is also manifested in the lagging pformation of resource consuming and environment-friendly enterprises.

Due to the large number of such enterprises, the environmental quality of Guangdong, especially the Pearl River Delta, is not satisfactory. At present, 16.2% of the province's control sections are inferior to five kinds of water quality, and the air quality of the Pearl River Delta is decreasing.

Population, resources and environment, how to solve the problems encountered in a series of scientific development?

Promoting industry and population pfer is one of the main tasks.

On the one hand, from the quantity point of view, the labor intensive industries in the Pearl River Delta are pferred to the less developed areas, and the surplus labor force in the less developed areas is pferred to the two or three industry and the high-quality labor force is pferred to the Pearl River Delta. After a period of continuous implementation, the total population of the province, especially the inter provincial floating population, will be reduced to a certain extent, so as to alleviate the sharp contradiction between population, resources and environment. On the other hand, from the perspective of quality and structure, the pformation and upgrading of the industry will inevitably be accompanied by industrial pfer, which will enable more resource consuming enterprises to be replaced by environment-friendly enterprises.

The main road to regional coordinated development is to review the work done in the past few years. Generally speaking, efforts to promote industrial pfer are relatively large, but efforts to promote labor pfer are relatively small. In less developed areas, especially in mountainous areas, the enthusiasm and initiative of undertaking industrial pfer are higher, and the enthusiasm of the Pearl River Delta to promote industrial pfer is weaker.

Promoting "double pfer" is an effective way to narrow the regional disparity, promote regional coordinated development and improve the living standard of urban and rural residents.

Uneven regional development is a major weakness in Guangdong's economic and social development over the years.

The coordination of regional development in our province is not as good as those in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other provinces.

In 2006, the regional development difference coefficient (from 0 to 1, the larger the value of the greater difference) was 0.77, higher than the national average of 0.67, higher than the national average level of 0.67, also higher than Jiangsu 0.71, Shandong 0.67, Zhejiang 0.38., the East and West and North Guangdong mountain area per capita GDP only in the Pearl River Delta 1/4; the provincial local financial general budget income, the Pearl River Delta accounted for 67%, and the region of Guangdong, Guangdong, and North Guangdong, respectively accounted for 3.1%, 3.1% and the serious imbalance in the development of regional development, if not reversed, will inevitably lead to development faults, thus dragging the hind legs of coordinated development of the province.

Promoting "double pfer" is undoubtedly a good solution to the imbalance of regional development.

In fact, since 2003, Guangdong has made many explorations and achieved certain results in pushing the underdeveloped areas to undertake the pfer of the Pearl River Delta and increasing the training and pfer of labor force in less developed areas. The leaping development of Qingyuan and Heyuan is proof.

But looking back on the work done in the past few years, in general, the efforts to promote industrial pfer are relatively large, but efforts to promote labor pfer are relatively small. In less developed areas, especially in mountainous areas, the enthusiasm and initiative of undertaking industrial pfer are higher, and the enthusiasm of the Pearl River delta to promote industrial pfer is weak. The significant role of industrial pfer and labor pfer in promoting regional coordinated development has not been fully demonstrated.

It is understood that the provincial Party committee and the provincial government will launch a series of major policy initiatives to promote the development of double pfer work in the upcoming provincial industrial pfer and labor pfer conference. We believe that under the impetus of this series of policies, the developed areas will bring about a rapid development of the benign development mechanism of underdeveloped areas. The labor intensive industries in the Pearl River Delta will be pferred to the East West Mountains and the northern Guangdong mountains. The two-way pfer of the eastern and Western wings and the mountainous labor force in northern Guangdong to the two or three local industries and the developed areas of the Pearl River Delta will be greatly speeded up. Guangdong will explore a successful way to achieve common prosperity.
