The "14th Five-Year Plan" emphasizes promoting comprehensive human development, suggesting that technology policies should focus on empowering rather than replacing people [1] Group 2: Strengthening Social Security - The second strategy involves preparing for the future by strengthening the social security network. The benefits of technological advancements will not be distributed evenly, necessitating attention to vulnerable groups such as entry-level workers, youth, middle-aged individuals facing unemployment, and flexible workers. This includes improving systems for pensions and unemployment [1] Group 3: Optimizing Labor Market - The third strategy is to address internal competition and optimize the labor market by enhancing the enforcement of labor laws. Technological progress should ideally reduce labor intensity, and through institutional design, it is possible to minimize ineffective labor and shorten average working hours, which can stabilize employment and create space for service consumption [1]
