收入分配问题关系到每个人的切身利益,改革开放以来我国收入分配格局发生了巨大的变化,由改革前分配的平均主义转变为收入差距逐渐扩大。分配格局的这种变化近来引起了党中央乃至整个社会的广泛关注,其中低收入群体收入过低、收入缺乏有效保障、收入增长预期不确定,目前已成为重大社会问题。保障低收入群体的收入、稳步提高其收入水平,对缩小收入差距,保持社会稳定和谐将起着重要作用。本期“关注”对“着力提高低收入群体收入水平问题”进行讨论。 The issue of income distribution has a direct bearing on the vital interests of everyone. Since the reform and opening up, China’s income distribution pattern has undergone tremendous changes. From the egalitarian distribution of pre-reform to the gradual expansion of the income gap. This change in the pattern of distribution has recently drawn widespread public concern in the Party Central Committee and the society as a whole. Among them, the low-income groups are under-paid, their incomes are not effectively protected and their income growth is expected to be uncertain. At present, this has become a major social issue. Ensuring the income of low-income groups and steadily increasing their income levels will play an important role in narrowing the income gap and maintaining social stability and harmony. This issue of “Concern” discusses the “efforts to raise the income level of low-income groups.”
