Chinese-style modernization prioritizes people's livelihood. Employment is the most fundamental aspect of people's livelihood, connecting the people's livelihood to the economic pulse, linking the family to the nation, and is an important economic issue as well as a significant political issue.

Employment is closely related to the vital interests of the people. Employment is the foundation of people's livelihood and the source of wealth. It is a crucial means for millions of workers to obtain income, and it is directly linked to the survival and development of every worker. Promoting high-quality and full employment, achieving more abundant employment opportunities, a more rational employment structure, a fairer employment environment, continuously enhanced employment capabilities, and steadily improved employment security, will help increase residents' income, narrow the income distribution gap, expand the size of the middle-income group, and lay a solid foundation for achieving common prosperity for all people.

Employment is crucial for the healthy development of the economy and society. Employment is the foundation of development, connecting social demand with supply, linking production, exchange, distribution, and consumption, and serving as the basic support for economic operation and the stabilizer for social functioning. Promoting high-quality and full employment can effectively optimize the structure of human resources, support the development of the real economy, and enhance total factor productivity, thereby providing continuous momentum for the high-quality development of the economy and society.

Employment is crucial for the long-term stability and security of the nation. It serves as the foundation of harmony, closely linked to the well-being of every household. When workers participate, contribute, and benefit equally in employment, achieving a proper match between people and positions, utilizing individual strengths, and maximizing potential, social harmony is solidified. Promoting high-quality and full employment, continuously enhancing the quality and reasonably increasing the quantity of employment, ensures that everyone has the opportunity to develop through diligent labor, integrate into society, and enjoy a high-quality life, thereby effectively safeguarding social stability and long-term security.

Our Party has always attached great importance to employment work. From its inception, it has regarded the struggle for labor and employment rights for the exploited and oppressed masses as its goal. In the Central Soviet Area and revolutionary bases, it implemented policies such as social insurance and mutual benefit between labor and capital. During the period of socialist revolution and construction, it actively carried out unemployment registration, employment introduction, vigorously developed technical education, extensively conducted skill training, comprehensively established a labor insurance system, expanded employment in the context of large-scale economic construction, built a vast workforce, and enabled the people to live and work in peace and contentment. After the reform and opening up, it actively promoted the reform of the labor employment and social security systems, facilitated the employment of a large number of newly grown labor forces and the transfer of agricultural labor to non-agricultural sectors, and gradually established a social security system jointly funded by the state, enterprises, and individuals.
