Ensuring and improving people's livelihood is a long-term task, and it is also an important focus point to expand domestic demand and effectively hedge the impact of the epidemic.

Since the outbreak of the New Coronary Pneumonia epidemic, General Secretary Xi Jinping has always attached great importance to the issue of people ’s livelihood, and has issued a series of important instructions for ensuring and improving people ’s livelihood. People's hearts are stable, and society is stable. " The Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee held a meeting on April 8 to study and deploy measures for the prevention and control of normalized epidemic situations, comprehensively promote the work of resuming work and resuming production, and also placed special emphasis on strengthening protection and improving people's livelihood.

At present, the international epidemic situation and the world economic situation are grim and complicated. The pressure on China to prevent epidemic situation input is increasing. Economic and social development is facing new difficulties and challenges. External demand is greatly affected by the epidemic, and domestic demand is inevitably affected. The epidemic directly affects residents' income, and some people may face more difficulties in their basic lives. Recognize that domestic demand is the basic driving force for China's economic development, and expanding domestic demand is the fundamental foothold for us to respond to various risks and challenges. We must insist on accelerating the full recovery of production and life in the normalization of epidemic prevention and control, and accelerating the resumption of production and production . We must also realize that people's livelihood is linked to domestic demand, development, and fairness, to protect and improve people's livelihood, not only to stimulate consumption, but also to promote investment, which is an important measure and an effective way to expand domestic demand. Only by ensuring security and improving people's livelihood, and effectively supporting this bottom, can we effectively expand domestic demand, better unlock the potential of domestic market demand, and inject strong momentum into economic development.

To strengthen safeguards and improve people's livelihood, it is necessary to grasp and implement all decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee. Under the complex situation of increasing downward pressure on the economy and profound changes in the external environment, giving full play to the ballast stone role of the "three rural issues" can win the initiative to meet various risk challenges. China's agriculture has been harvesting year after year, and its grain reserves are abundant. It is fully capable of ensuring the supply of grain and important agricultural products. It is necessary to do a good job in spring agricultural production, strengthen the monitoring and supervision of food market prices, continue to do a good job in the organization of production and circulation of pork, fruits and vegetables, and other foodstuffs to ensure that market supply and prices are basically stable. Employment is the biggest people's livelihood. It is necessary to comprehensively strengthen the measures for stabilizing employment, implement a priority policy on employment, adjust the policy strength in time according to changes in the employment situation, reduce burden, stabilize jobs and expand employment simultaneously, pay attention to the periodic reduction and exemption of social insurance premiums and return unemployment insurance jobs , Employment subsidies, and other policies have come into effect. For some enterprises, such as serious job shortages, heavy pressure to stabilize jobs, and difficulties in employment for key groups, the classification and assistance for enterprises and people in local areas improve the accuracy of policies, expand the coverage of unemployment insurance, and better Guarantee the basic life of the unemployed. It is necessary to strengthen the basic living security for the disadvantaged groups, appropriately raise the urban and rural minimum living security, pension subsidies and other guarantee standards, include the people who are in trouble due to the epidemic and the disease into the scope of assistance, and issue temporary living allowances to the areas seriously affected by the epidemic. The mechanism should be started in time. It is necessary to establish a safe development concept, hold to the bottom line of safe production, and ensure safety risk prevention. The faster the resumption of production and production, the stronger the supervision of production safety. The development must not only focus on safety and ensure the safety of people's lives and property.

Consumer demand is the ultimate demand. When consumption is strong, the economy will be a pool of living water. We must not only pay close attention to the implementation of various policies and measures to guarantee and improve people's livelihood, so that the masses have the ability to consume, but we must also address the worries of the masses and make the masses dare to consume and rest assured. It is necessary to implement measures for normalization of epidemic prevention and control, orderly promote the resumption of work in various shopping malls and markets, promote the normal operation of the life service industry, and allow the masses to actively consume under the premise of doing their own protection. To better meet the needs of the people's consumption upgrade, adapt to personalized and diversified consumption trends, and strive to improve the effective supply capacity and level of consumer goods.

Difficulties cannot stop the pace of China's economic progress. We have an ultra-large domestic market. If we focus on expanding domestic demand and stimulating endogenous power, we will certainly be able to overcome the impact of the epidemic, win the initiative for development, and get the economy up as soon as possible.
