What is the position and function of the construction industry in the national economy?

The construction industry is an important material production sector of the national economy, which is closely related to the economic development of the whole country and the improvement of people's lives.

Since the reform and opening up, China's economy has developed rapidly, and the construction industry, as an important material production department in China, has also experienced a rapid development process.

This process is reflected in the continuous improvement of industrial scale, enterprise benefits, technical equipment and construction capacity, which is of great significance to China's economic development.

First of all, the construction industry is an important part of the national economy.

The output value of the construction industry accounts for a considerable proportion of the total social output value, and the value created is also an important part of the national income. It can be said that the construction industry is the pillar industry of the national economy. In 20 16 years, the total output value of China's construction industry exceeded 19 trillion yuan.

National Bureau of Statistics released 20 16 national economic data. Among them, the GDP was 744,654.38+02.7 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 6.7%; The gross output value of the national construction industry was193.567 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 7.1%;

The growth rate of fixed assets investment slowed down, with a year-on-year increase of 8.1%; Private capital investment continued to be sluggish, with a year-on-year increase of only 3.2%. The growth rate of added value of China's construction industry has been higher than GDP and industrial added value.

Therefore, the construction industry is the pillar industry of the national economy.

Second, the construction industry provides an important material foundation for all sectors of the national economy.

Through large-scale investment in fixed assets, it has provided a material basis for the sustainable development of various departments and industries of the national economy and the continuous improvement of people's lives.

It directly affects the growth of the national economy and the situation of social labor and employment, and is directly related to the safety of people's lives and property and the quality of production and life.

Buildings such as factories and warehouses and structures such as roads, docks and dams needed by various material production departments of the national economy are all products of the construction industry; The machinery and equipment of industrial enterprises must also be installed by construction enterprises to form the final production capacity.

The development of construction industry has promoted the development and prosperity of related industries. The construction industry can absorb a large number of material products from all sectors of the national economy. The production process of building products is also the consumption process of material.

The most obvious industries directly or indirectly driven by the construction industry are metal products manufacturing, machinery and equipment manufacturing, building materials and other non-metallic mineral products, mining, chemical industry, transportation and post and telecommunications.

Third, the construction industry promotes the production and development of relevant departments by absorbing a large number of material products.

The production of construction industry has a great influence on related industries, which has promoted the development of more than 50 related industries such as building materials, metallurgy, nonferrous metals, chemicals, light industry, electronics, forestry and transportation.

The consumption of materials in the construction industry accounts for 25% of the total consumption of steel, 40% of wood, 70% of cement, 76% of glass, 25% of plastic and 28% of transportation, respectively, and the number of employed people it accommodates accounts for about 5% of the total number of social workers.

The construction industry can absorb a large number of material products from various sectors of the national economy, and construction production can drive the production process of construction products in many related departments, which is also the consumption process of material materials.

According to statistics, there are 76 categories, more than 2,500 specifications and 1800 varieties of building materials needed for residential projects alone, including building materials and metallurgy. Chemical industry, forestry industry, machinery, instrumentation, textiles, light industry, grain and other dozens of material production departments.

Four, the construction industry can accommodate a large number of labor, is an important employment sector.

At present, China's construction industry is still a labor-intensive sector, which can accommodate a large number of employed people, become the main employment sector, and occupy a large proportion in the composition of the entire national economy.

In particular, it provides a simple employment path for rural surplus labor force, which helps to alleviate the employment pressure in China.

Five, the construction industry can absorb a lot of consumption funds, so that the economy develops in a virtuous circle.

The construction industry is a good place for social idle funds, which is to attract it to residential consumption. This is a way to kill two birds with one stone.

On the one hand, it provides a good way out for social consumption funds; On the other hand, it also provides a large amount of production funds for the construction industry, thus achieving the effect of guiding consumption, adjusting structure and promoting production.

Moreover, after people meet the living area, there will be a demand for continuous improvement of the living environment, that is, decoration. It can be seen that the capacity of housing construction market to accommodate social consumption funds is quite large.

In addition, by participating in international competition, the construction industry will bring domestic capital, technology and management into line with international standards.

In 20 16, the newly signed contracts for China's foreign contracted engineering business amounted to USD 244 billion (equivalent to RMB10.6 trillion yuan), up by 16.2% year-on-year, and the growth rate was 6.6 percentage points higher than that of the previous year.

According to the statistics of the Ministry of Commerce, in 20 16, countries along the "Belt and Road" signed new contracts for overseas contracted projects of 126 billion US dollars, an increase of 36% compared with last year, accounting for 5 1.6% of the total in the same period, accounting for half of China's overseas contracted projects, with obvious growth.

Judging from the competitiveness of China enterprises in contracting foreign projects, according to the ranking of "Top 250 International Contractors in the World" published by ENR in 20 16, 65 enterprises in Chinese mainland were selected, the number of which was the same as last year, among which 27 enterprises were upgraded and 7 enterprises were newly listed.

China Jiao Jian ranked first in the list of enterprises in China for nine consecutive years, and its ranking rose from the fifth in the previous year to the third.

To sum up, the construction industry plays an important role in China's national economy.

Extended data:

The national economy refers to the sum of the interrelations among social production departments, circulation departments and other economic departments in a modern country.

Industry, agriculture, construction, transportation, post and telecommunications, commerce, foreign trade, service industry and urban public utilities are all components of the national economy.

The capitalist national economy is based on the capitalist private ownership of the means of production, and it is dominated by the basic economic laws of capitalism, namely the law of surplus value and the law of competition and anarchy in production.

The foundation of the socialist national economy is the socialist public ownership of the means of production.

National economy refers to the general name of a country's social and economic activities, which is composed of interrelated and influential economic ties, economic levels, economic departments and economic regions.

The concept of national economy emphasizes the integrity and relevance of economy. This view breaks through the limitation that the national economy is limited to various economic sectors of the country, and greatly expands the field of social and economic activities in connotation.

Including economic links: production, exchange, distribution and consumption; The economic level is: macro-economy, meso-economy and micro-economy;

Economic sectors include: industry, agriculture, construction, commerce, communication, culture, education, scientific research and other production departments and non-production departments;

Economic regions, that is, different domestic economic regions, inter-country economic regions and international regions, comprehensively and accurately expounded the contents covered by the national economy.

From this, let's look at the definition of national economy. National economics should belong to applied (macro) economics and empirical (macro) economics, and it is an applied macro positive economics combining general principles of economics with administrative management and social statistical data.

The national economics that China University is now talking about is generally a postgraduate major under the first-level discipline of applied economics.

The construction industry refers to the material production department engaged in the survey, design, construction and maintenance of existing buildings in the national economy.

According to the industry classification catalogue of the national economy, the construction industry, as one of the thirteen branches of the national economy, consists of the following three categories: civil engineering construction industry; Line, pipeline and equipment installation industry, survey and design industry.

The function of the construction industry is mainly to carry out construction and installation activities on various building materials and components, machinery and equipment, and to build productive and unproductive fixed assets for the national economy.

The development of construction industry is closely related to the investment scale of fixed assets, which promote and restrict each other.
