有序推进农业转移人口市民化。推动户籍制度改革，实行不同规模城市差别化落户政策。把有能力、有意愿并长期在城镇务工经商的农民工及其家属逐步转为城镇居民。对未落户的农业转移人口，建立居住证制度。使更多进城务工人员随迁子女纳入城镇教育、实现异地升学，实施农民工职业技能提升计划。稳步推进城镇基本公共服务常住人口全覆盖，使农业转移人口和城镇居民共建共享城市现代文明。文章源自英文巴士-https://www.en84.com/11475.html
We will grant urban residency in an orderly manner to rural people who have moved to cities.
We will reform the household registration system, and implement a household registration policy with different eligibility requirements for people of different conditions, and progressively grant urban residency to rural migrant workers and their families who are both willing and able to stay in cities and towns where they have had jobs or done business for a long time. We will introduce a residence permit system for rural people in urban areas who have not yet gained urban residency.
More children of rural migrant workers living with their parents in cities will be entitled to go to school there, including secondary school and college, and we will provide vocational skills training to rural migrant workers. We will steadily extend basic public services to fully cover the permanent population of cities and towns so that the rural people who live in them can contribute to the development of modern urban life and enjoy it together with the urban people.
加大对中西部地区新型城镇化的支持。提高产业发展和集聚人口能力，促进农业转移人口就近从业。加快推进交通、水利、能源、市政等基础设施建设，增强中西部地区城市群和城镇发展后劲。优化东部地区城镇结构，进一步提升城镇化质量和水平。
We will increase support for a new type of urbanization in the central and western regions.
We will help their industries develop and attract people and encourage rural migrant workers in the two regions to find employment in local cities and towns. We will speed up development of infrastructure including transportation, water conservancy, energy and municipal services in the two regions and make development of city clusters and towns there more sustainable. We will also improve the structure of cities and towns in the eastern region and raise the quality and standard of urbanization there.
加强城镇化管理创新和机制建设。要更大规模加快棚户区改造，决不能一边高楼林立，一边棚户连片。以国家新型城镇化规划为指导，做好相关规划的统筹衔接。提高城镇建设用地效率，优先发展公共交通，保护历史文化和自然景观，避免千城一面。加强小城镇和村庄规划管理。探索建立农业转移人口市民化成本分担、多元化城镇建设投融资等机制。通过提高建设和管理水平，让我们的城镇各具特色、宜业宜居，更加充满活力。
We will strengthen management innovation and institutional development pertaining to urbanization.
We will expand the rebuilding of rundown urban areas so that cities will take on a new look instead of having stretches of rundown areas existing side by side with high-rise buildings. We will make plans for urbanization in a coordinated way in accordance with the national guidelines for developing a new type of urbanization. We will use urban construction land more efficiently, give high priority to developing public transport, protect sites of historical and cultural interest and natural landscapes, and avoid making cities and towns all look the same.
We will strengthen planning management of villages and small towns. We will explore ways to share costs associated with granting urban residency to rural people who have moved to cities and diversify investment and financing for urban development. We will better develop and manage cities and towns so that they are livable and have unique features, good working conditions and more vitality.
（六）以创新支撑和引领经济结构优化升级。
6. Using innovation to support and lead economic structural improvement and upgrading
创新是经济结构调整优化的原动力。要把创新摆在国家发展全局的核心位置，促进科技与经济社会发展紧密结合，推动我国产业向全球价值链高端跃升。
Innovation is the motive force for adjusting and upgrading the economic structure.

（八）统筹做好保障和改善民生工作。
8. Making coordinated efforts to ensure and improve people’s wellbeing
民惟邦本，本固邦宁。政府工作的根本目的，是让全体人民过上好日子。要坚持建机制、补短板、兜底线，保障群众基本生活，不断提高人民生活水平和质量。
The people are the foundation of a nation, and a nation can enjoy peace only when its foundation is strong. The fundamental goal of a government’s work is to ensure that everyone lives a good life. We will continue to build institutions, improve weak links, help those in need of subsistence assistance, ensure everyone has access to basic necessities, and improve people’s living standards and quality of life.
就业是民生之本。坚持实施就业优先战略和更加积极的就业政策，优化就业创业环境，以创新引领创业，以创业带动就业。今年高校毕业生将达727万人，要开发更多就业岗位，实施不间断的就业创业服务，提高大学生就业创业比例。加大对城镇就业困难人员帮扶力度，确保“零就业”家庭至少有一人就业，做好淘汰落后产能职工安置和再就业工作。统筹农村转移劳动力、退役军人等就业工作。努力实现更加充分、更高质量就业，使劳动者生活更加体面、更有尊严。

We will improve the mechanism for providing adequate housing. To achieve the goal of ensuring housing for all, we will build more government-subsidized housing in accordance with the principle of giving targeted guidance, carrying out step-by-step implementation, and having governments at different levels assume their respective responsibilities.
This year, construction of over seven million government-subsidized housing units will begin, more than 4.7 million of which will be in rundown urban areas, and construction of related supporting infrastructure will be strengthened. We will increase the proportion of government-subsidized housing in large cities. We will integrate the operation of public and low-cost rental housing. We will improve mechanisms and instruments for securing investment and financing for policy-related housing and use market forces to provide long-term, steady funding support to cover the costs of building government-subsidized housing.
Governments at all levels should increase spending on building government-subsidized housing, improve its quality, ensure its fair allotment, and improve the mechanism governing its allotment and re-allotment. By the end of this year, 4.8 million units of such housing should be basically completed so that those in urgent need of housing can move in.
We will regulate housing differently in different cities in light of local conditions, increase the supply of small and medium-sized commercial and joint-ownership housing units, curb demand for housing for speculation and investment purposes, and promote sustained and healthy development of the real estate market.
人命关天，安全生产这根弦任何时候都要绷紧。要严格执行安全生产法律法规，全面落实安全生产责任制，坚决遏制重特大安全事故发生。大力整顿和规范市场秩序，继续开展专项整治，严厉打击制售假冒伪劣行为。建立从生产加工到流通消费的全程监管机制、社会共治制度和可追溯体系，健全从中央到地方直至基层的食品药品安全监管体制。严守法规和标准，用最严格的监管、最严厉的处罚、最严肃的问责，坚决治理餐桌上的污染，切实保障“舌尖上的安全”。
There is nothing more important than human life, so we must always give our full attention to workplace safety. We must strictly enforce laws and regulations on workplace safety, fully implement the responsibility system for it, and resolutely prevent the occurrence of major and very serious work-related accidents.
We will energetically improve and maintain market order, continue to carry out targeted clean-up campaigns, and crack down on the manufacture and sale of counterfeit or shoddy goods. We will institute a monitoring mechanism with full public participation which oversees the whole process from production and processing to distribution and consumption and can trace problems to the source. We will improve safety monitoring systems for food and drugs with the involvement of both central and local governments and participation of community bodies. We will strictly follow laws and regulations and comply with standards, and apply the strictest possible oversight, punishment and accountability to prevent and control food contamination and ensure that every bite of food we eat is safe.

推进生态保护与建设。继续实施退耕还林还草，今年拟安排500万亩。实施退牧还草、天然林保护、防沙治沙、水土保持、石漠化治理、湿地恢复等重大生态工程。加强三江源生态保护。落实主体功能区制度，推动建立跨区域、跨流域生态补偿机制。生态环保功在当代、利在千秋。各级政府和全社会都要进一步积极行动起来，呵护好我们赖以生存的共同家园。
We will move forward with ecological protection and development.
We will continue to carry out the project to convert marginal farmland back to forests and grassland, with this year’s target being 333,300 hectares. We will implement major ecological projects to return grazing land to grassland, protect natural forests, prevent and control sandstorms, conserve water and soil, prevent and reverse the expansion of stony deserts, and recover wetlands.
We will strengthen ecological conservation at the sources of the Yangtze, Yellow and Lancang rivers. We will implement the functional zoning system and give impetus to the establishment of trans-regional and cross-watershed mechanisms to compensate for ecological damage. Ecological conservation and environmental protection benefit future generations. Governments at all levels and the whole society should act more vigorously to protect the land our lives depend on.
