"External interference" has limited impact, the foundation for improving people's livelihood is solid
policies that benefit the people are continuously continuous, and the results of improving people's livelihood are visible and tangible. However, the external environment has been complex and changeable since last year, and some people are worried that it will affect the development of my country's people's livelihood.

Price situation is stable. Some institutions estimate that in the first quarter, my country's overall import price index rose by only 1.2% on average compared with August last year, far lower than the growth rate of net profit of distribution companies and the growth rate of real residents' income.
Many patients are worried about the price increase of imported drugs and medical devices. Luo Ming, chairman of Hubei Changjiangxing Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., introduced that due to trade frictions, only a few medical devices and equipment such as nuclear magnetic resonance and X-ray examinations are affected.

has a solid material foundation, providing strong support for improving people's livelihood. The level of economic development determines the level of people's livelihood security. The huge social wealth accumulated over the past 40 years of reform and opening up has enabled us to solve the problem of food and clothing for more than one billion people steadily. At present, my country's total economic output has reached 90 trillion yuan, and the material foundation for ensuring people's livelihood is relatively strong and is still strengthening.
"Stable and improving, long-term improvement is a general trend that China's economy will not change and will not change. There is vitality at the source of improvement of people's livelihood." said Liu Yuanchun, vice president of Renmin University of China.
The institutional advantages of socialist countries gather strong action to improve people's livelihood. Concentrate efforts to accomplish major tasks and accomplish things.

"Unlike the situation where the unemployment rate will 'rise' as soon as the economy of some Western countries 'soften', since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, under the increasing downward pressure on the economy, our various people's livelihood indicators have maintained an upward trend." Chi Fulin, director of the China (Hainan) Institute of Reform and Development, said that this is also an important reflection of my country's institutional advantages.
Guaranteeing and improving people's livelihood has never been a temporary policy arrangement, but carries the original aspiration and mission of the Communist Party of China."Looking back on the past, the more we climbed through difficult times, the more our party thought about the interests of the people again and again, and remembered them to heart." Zhang Yu, professor at the School of Economics of Renmin University of China, said, "With the leadership of the Party, we have the confidence to overcome the current difficulties and are not afraid of greater challenges."

- On the basis of ensuring people's livelihood investment, people's livelihood policies pay more attention to stimulating endogenous motivation, and the benefits of the people will gradually emerge.
Employment policy highlights the requirements of "higher quality" and enhances the adaptability of labor to economic development. "In policies such as assisting enterprises and stabilizing jobs, supporting migrant workers to return to their hometowns to start businesses, and helping college graduates to find employment and start businesses, improving labor quality is a clear main line. For example, large-scale vocational skills training was carried out, and more than 15 million people were trained this year, and more than 50 million people were trained within three years; 100 billion yuan was taken out from the surplus of the unemployment insurance fund, and a special account was set up to coordinate it for vocational skills improvement actions. In the near future, it is to stabilize employment; in the long run, it is to adapt to the needs of structural transformation and industrial upgrading, so that more people can obtain better jobs and salaries with their own skills." Zhu Ming, a professor at Nankai University, said.
During this year's college graduate employment season, integrating data from multiple institutions shows that the increase in job supply this year is still slightly greater than the increase in job searches. Zhu Minglai believes that more than 11 million new urban jobs can be created throughout the year, and the goal of achieving higher quality and fuller employment can be achieved.
Education policy strengthens the orientation of "filling the gaps" and enhances the people's sense of gain in learning and learning. Find out the basic number of disabled children of appropriate age and implement the "one person, one case"; deepen the 2.0 action plan for education informatization to promote the sharing of high-quality educational resources; increase investment in "intellectual assistance" in poor areas... Every matter is down-to-earth and win the hearts of the people.
st, Anqing City, Anhui Province, established a vocational education group established by integrating multiple vocational education institutions began to recruit students. "So much effort is to make young people more capable, and fortunately find employment at home, so that the elderly and children will no longer be left behind." Mayor Chen Bingbing said that education should be used as a driving force to drive a virtuous cycle of improving people's livelihood.
Business environment reform adheres to the concept of "letting water to raise fish" and stimulates the enthusiasm of the whole society to create wealth. The "delegation, regulation and service" reform is being accelerated, and tax and fee reductions are being implemented. In the first half of the year, the time for starting a business in my country was shortened to 8.5 days. The difficulty of financing for small and micro enterprises has been alleviated. At the end of the second quarter, the balance of inclusive small and micro loans was 10.71 trillion yuan, an increase of 22.5% year-on-year. Tang Jianwei, chief macro analyst of the Financial Research Center of Bank of Communications, estimated that this round of tax cuts is expected to reduce the burden on small and micro enterprises by about 200 billion yuan each year.
"Everything is good!" Xu Xuehong, manager of Taoyuan Hotel, Shengsi County, Zhoushan, Zhejiang, was very happy about the future, "Every month, you will pay 70,000 yuan less tax. Guys are at ease and work hard. My small business also has great success."

"After survey and investigation, there are 170,000 old urban communities in various parts of the country that need to be renovated. The pipeline networks of these communities are dilapidated and there are even no elevators, which makes the elderly very inconvenient to their lives." Huang Yan, deputy minister of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, said that this year's renovation of old urban communities will actively innovate investment and financing mechanisms to attract social forces to participate.
After the sewage treatment plant was established in the PPP (cooperation between government and social capital) model, the water quality of Xiaotang River in Qinhuangdao Economic and Technological Development Zone in Hebei became clear, attracting flocks of wild birds to cruise and play. Data from the National PPP Comprehensive Information Platform Project Management Database shows that as of the end of the first quarter of this year, there were 1,443 people's livelihood projects in six categories, including culture, tourism, sports, health, elderly care, and education, with an investment of 1.3 trillion yuan.
"Purchasing third-party services and introducing social capital will help the government meet the increasingly multi-level and diversified people's livelihood demands." said Hu Yijian, dean of the Public Policy and Governance Research Institute of Shanghai University of Finance and Economics.
"There is no end to ensure and improve people's livelihood, only a continuous new starting point." A sonorous promise warms the hearts of hundreds of millions of people.We firmly believe that the lives of the people are getting better and better, and China's economy can also "flower and higher."
