Group 1 - The core issue of "involution" is the imbalance between manufacturing and service industries, with manufacturing employment exceeding actual demand while service employment remains insufficient [2][9] - In 2023, manufacturing employment was significantly above potential levels (+0.2 million), while service employment showed a shortfall of -0.4 million compared to potential levels, indicating a recovery lag in the service sector [2][9] - Manufacturing investment remains high despite declining revenues, reflecting an "involution" phenomenon, while service investment is notably below demand, with a potential investment gap of approximately 1.5 trillion [2][18] Group 2 - Consumer demand shows a significant gap, with a shortfall of about 6.4 billion in goods consumption and nearly 30 billion in service consumption, indicating a stronger recovery need in the service sector [3][27] - The average gap in per capita service consumption is 2,093 yuan, while the total potential gap in national service consumption is close to 30 billion [3][27] Group 3 - Long-term solutions to "involution" involve shifting focus from manufacturing supply to service supply, as global experiences suggest a transition in consumer demand from goods to services at certain GDP and urbanization levels [4][35] - The aging population and smaller household sizes are expected to further enhance demand for service consumption, particularly in areas like healthcare and leisure [45][52] Group 4 - Current policies are actively promoting service consumption, investment, and exports, marking a shift in the economic growth model from manufacturing to services [6][80] - Policies encouraging increased consumer time, such as extended holidays and new school breaks, are expected to boost service demand [6][80] - Service investment is seeing improvements due to policy support and relaxed regulations on private investment, with significant growth in sectors like education and entertainment [6][91]
