Economic Overview - China's economy has consistently crossed significant milestones, reaching an estimated GDP of around 140 trillion yuan in 2023, with an increment of over 35 trillion yuan, equivalent to the combined GDP of Guangdong, Jiangsu, and Shandong provinces [2] - The average economic growth rate over the past four years has been 5.5%, with China contributing approximately 30% to global economic growth [2] Domestic Demand - Domestic demand has played a crucial role, contributing an average of 86.4% to economic growth over the past four years [3] - Final consumption's contribution to economic growth averaged 56.2%, an increase of 8.6 percentage points compared to the previous five-year period [3] Investment Contributions - Capital formation from investments contributed an average of 30.2% to economic growth over the past four years [4] - Significant investments in high-tech industries and infrastructure have been made, with approximately 780,000 affordable housing units constructed, addressing housing issues for over 20 million people [4] Innovation and High-Tech Development - China is transitioning from a global manufacturing hub to a global innovation center, with high-tech manufacturing value added increasing by 42% and digital economy core industries growing by 73.8% [5] - R&D expenditure reached 3.6 trillion yuan, accounting for 2.68% of GDP, with enterprises contributing over 77% of this investment [5] Service Sector and Productivity - The development of the productive service sector is closely linked to improvements in production efficiency and value [6] - There is a focus on enhancing the share of productive services in GDP from 27%-30% to 35% during the next five-year period, which is expected to lead to a more rational industrial structure [6]

Group 1 - The phenomenon of "involution" is most pronounced among young people, with average weekly working hours increasing by over 4 hours in the past five years. The average weekly working hours for employees aged 25-34 rose from 46.7 hours in 2018 to 50.8 hours in 2023 [3][28] - In the manufacturing and productive service sectors, the "involution" phenomenon is particularly evident, while the working hours in real estate, infrastructure, and life service industries have decreased. From 2018 to 2023, the working hours in manufacturing increased by 0.7 hours, while life service industries saw a significant increase of 3.7 hours [2][21][150] - The average daily working time in China has increased by 21 minutes from 2018 to 2023, reaching 48.3 hours per week, which has led to a reduction in the time residents spend on purchasing goods and services from 80 minutes per day to 43 minutes per day [2][9][150] Group 2 - Current policies to combat "involution" focus on encouraging flexible work arrangements and paid leave, but these measures primarily address symptoms rather than the root causes of prolonged working hours. The "Promoting Consumption Special Action Plan" suggests exploring the establishment of spring and autumn breaks for primary and secondary schools [4][35][150] - The root cause of "involution" is the uneven distribution of employment across industries, with excessive employment in manufacturing leading to "involution" and insufficient employment in the service sector. Tariffs could accelerate the shift of employment from manufacturing to services, achieving a rebalancing [4][48][150] - There is a significant short-term employment gap in the life service industry, with a potential to absorb more jobs. In 2023, there was a 1.5 trillion yuan gap between service employment and value added, indicating a shortage of jobs in sectors like cultural entertainment and residential services [5][61][150] Group 3 - The long-term direction for combating "involution" involves aligning supply structures with changing demand structures, as residents' demand is showing a long-term trend towards "servicization." Global experiences indicate that as GDP per capita reaches 10,000 to 30,000 USD and urbanization rates hit 70%, the proportion of services in total consumption increases by approximately 0.6% annually [6][85][150] - The aging population is expected to increase the demand for service consumption, with each 1% increase in the aging rate correlating with a 1.3% rise in service consumption share. This trend is evident in countries like Japan and South Korea [6][93][150] - The trend of smaller household sizes is further stimulating demand for enjoyment-based services, indicating a robust growth potential for service consumption. In China, the average household size has decreased to 2.8 people, which is associated with higher spending on services like tourism and beauty [6][101][150]

Group 1 - The provincial government has issued implementation opinions to promote high-quality and full employment, focusing on supporting industries and enterprises with strong employment absorption capacity [1] - The plan includes financial support, tax incentives, and social security measures to stabilize and expand employment in key sectors, industries, and small and micro enterprises [1] - The province aims to accelerate the construction of four trillion-level industrial bases and 22 key industrial clusters, exploring employment opportunities in areas like "AI+", green economy, marine economy, and silver economy [1] Group 2 - Employment for youth, particularly college graduates, is a priority, with initiatives to promote job services and expand job opportunities in various sectors such as healthcare, community governance, and rural revitalization [2] - The province will enhance support for key employment groups, including veterans and those facing employment difficulties, by providing tailored assistance and promoting entrepreneurship [2] - The implementation opinions emphasize equal employment rights, requiring the removal of unreasonable restrictions in recruitment and employment management, and promoting a supportive environment for working mothers [3]
