XI. Ensuring and Improving Public Wellbeing and Promoting Common
Prosperity for All

Meeting the people’s aspirations for a better life is the immutable goal of
Chinese modernization. In line with the principle of doing everything within
our means, we must ensure that public services are inclusive, meet essential

needs, and provide a cushion for those most in need, and work to resolve the
pressing difficulties and problems that concern the people most. The channels

of social mobility should remain unimpeded, and living standards should be
further improved.
37. Promoting high-quality full employment
We should push forward with the employment-first strategy, improve

related support mechanisms, and make our development model more
employment-friendly. We should foster greater synergy between industry
and employment, actively nurture new jobs and occupations, and help

enterprises stabilize payrolls and step up hiring.
We should improve the mechanisms for matching the supply of human
resources with demand, refine the system of lifelong vocational skills training,

and work to effectively guide public opinion regarding career choices and
personnel recruitment, with a view to addressing structural employment
challenges. We should refine the employment support and public services

system, and stabilize and expand employment among key groups, including
college graduates, rural migrant workers, and ex-service members. We should
also promote the healthy development of flexible and new forms of

employment.
We should ramp up support for entrepreneurship and help business
startups create more jobs. We should refine labor standards and the

mechanisms for labor relation consultations and mediation and better protect
the rights and interests of workers to create a fair and orderly employment
environment. We should improve assessment, monitoring, and early warning

regarding employment impacts, and respond in a holistic way to the effects of
external changes and emerging technologies on employment.
38. Improving the income distribution system

We must keep distribution according to work as the mainstay with
multiple forms of distribution existing alongside it. We should work to raise
the share of personal income in the distribution of national income and give

more weight to work remuneration in primary distribution.
