On Friday, Chinese Premier Li Qiang led an important State Council executive meeting, zeroing in on creating more jobs and improving healthcare services that affect millions across the country.
With employment being a key to people’s well-being, Premier Li emphasized the need for high-quality and ample job opportunities. The meeting highlighted sectors like advanced manufacturing, services, and consumption as prime areas to generate new jobs, especially in fields that directly impact people’s daily lives.
To support this, the government plans to increase special loans aimed at stabilizing and boosting employment. There’s also a push for large-scale vocational training programs to help people acquire new skills and stay competitive in the job market.
Healthcare was another major focus. The meeting stressed making primary-level healthcare facilities more accessible, so everyone can get medical help close to home. Plans include strengthening grassroots medical services, better training for medical staff, and improving how chronic and common diseases are prevented and treated.
New technologies like telemedicine are set to play a big role. By using these innovations, the government aims to provide comprehensive health services throughout people’s lives.
The meeting didn’t stop there. Reforms in higher education were also on the agenda. There’s a call to adjust academic programs and talent training models to make sure that universities are teaching skills that match the country’s economic and social needs.
“Our educational institutions must adapt to the changing demands of society,” Premier Li said, highlighting how important education is for the future workforce.
