(Observation of the Two Sessions) What does it mean to name "new citizens" in the government work report?

　　China News Service, Beijing, March 6 (Reporter Zhang Su) In the first year of the "14th Five-Year Plan", the demands of "new citizens" were passed on to the highest authority in China.

This year's government work report stated that "doing our best to help new citizens and young people alleviate housing difficulties" can be described as "reassurance."

　　"New citizens" originally referred to migrant workers who lived in cities for a long time and had relatively fixed jobs. Later, the scope of this term gradually expanded and became various groups of people who came to a city for various reasons without their local origin. Collectively.

　　There are no precise figures on the size of China's "new citizens" population, and the frequently cited data is about 200 million people.

More importantly, how to accelerate the full integration of the agricultural transfer population into the city so that more people can enjoy a higher quality of urban life is related to China's realization of socialist modernization.

　　Housing is the rigid need of people.

In reality, high housing prices in big cities and chaos in the housing rental market make it difficult for some "new citizens".

　　How should the people respond?

The government work report named "New Citizens" and proposed that "effectively increase the supply of affordable rental housing and common property housing, standardize the development of the long-term rental housing market, and reduce the tax burden of rental housing."

The draft of the "14th Five-Year Plan" and the 2035 long-term goal outline proposes to "expand the supply of affordable rental housing, and focus on solving the housing problems of the needy groups and new citizens", and insist that "housing is not speculated" is also included.

Some scholars have analyzed that the policy signals are clear, while the policy tends to be precise and effective.

　　Many representatives and committee members are simultaneously speaking for the settlement of the "new citizens.

Yao Jinbo, representative of the National People's Congress and CEO of 58.com, suggested establishing a housing rental supply system led by long-term rental housing, and "continue to increase the effective supply of housing and give preference to new citizens."

Zhang Shaokang, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and Director of the Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development of Guangdong Province, suggested that in combination with the transformation of old urban communities, multiple channels should be used to raise rental housing.

　　To live in peace, but also to work happily.

Lu Ming, a distinguished professor at Shanghai Jiaotong University, pointed out that another problem facing some "new citizens" is that their children cannot receive public education on an equal footing.

　　In this regard, the government work report proposed to "better solve the problem of schooling for the children of migrant workers" and "let every child have a chance to shine in life".

The draft planning outline is also clear, "accelerate the expansion of urban schools and ensure that the children of the rural migrant population have equal access to basic public education services."

　　Yu Minhong, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and chairman of the New Oriental Education Technology Group, believes that the steady increase in the "attendance rate" should be used as a key indicator to measure the enrollment of migrant children in various education departments. He also suggested encouraging social organizations to participate in solving migrant children's off-campus learning problems.

　　Of course, there is still a lot of work that should be done and must be done in order for the "new citizens" to have a sense of belonging and happiness in the city.

This year the National Two Sessions gave some follow-ups.

　　In order to promote the transformation of the “empty-nest youth” group to the “nest-building youth” group, some representative committee members suggested that on the basis of respecting individual lifestyles, provide services for the physical and mental health and family construction capabilities of the people in need, with a view to letting them Feel the temperature of the city.

The starting point of the "recommendation to extend the retention of graduating students' status," which has aroused heated discussion from the outside world, is also to allow the "new citizens" to have more buffer periods when they take root.

　　Entering a new stage of development, both "new citizens" and "old citizens" can steadily contribute to the development of the city, which will be a positive solution.
