Why and how to change the mode of economic development?

The Proposal on Formulating the Twelfth Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development adopted by the Fifth Plenary Session of the Seventeenth Central Committee puts forward that Scientific Outlook on Development should be the theme and the mode of economic development should be changed as the main line, so as to ensure and improve people's livelihood and promote social fairness and justice. At the same time, it is required to make substantial progress in transforming China's economic development mode during the Twelfth Five-Year Plan period.

The necessity of speeding up the transformation of economic development mode: We should see that while great achievements have been made, there are also many problems, mainly manifested in unbalanced, uncoordinated and unsustainable development, excessive gap between the rich and the poor and rampant corruption. The imbalance of social and economic development, urban and rural development and the imbalance of eastern and western development lead to the excessive income gap of residents, and some disadvantages of the income distribution system lead to the excessive concentration of social wealth, which affects social fairness and justice; The development of primary, secondary and tertiary industries is uncoordinated, and the service industry is obviously lagging behind, resulting in prominent structural contradictions in employment; Our growth mainly depends on a large amount of investment in capital, land and labor, and the contribution rate of science and technology in growth is low, resulting in large input and small output, which has long been at the low end of the world industrial chain; Our growth is mainly driven by exports. The total import and export accounts for a large proportion of GDP, and the scientific and technological content and added value of export products are low, which leads to frequent contradictions and disputes in international trade. The backward industrial structure leads to more resource and energy consumption and serious environmental pollution, which makes our development face an unsustainable situation.

How to accelerate the transformation of economic development mode: accelerate the transformation of economic development mode from eight aspects.

First, promote economic development from export-oriented mode to domestic demand-oriented, and change the coordinated mode of consumption, investment and export.

Two, from capital, labor, land and other factors of production to drive economic development, to technological innovation, management innovation, system innovation.

Third, from extensive development mode to intensive development mode.

Fourth, from the traditional manufacturing industry as the main force to promote economic development to strategic emerging industries (including high-end manufacturing) and service industries to promote the transformation of dual-engine mode.

Five, from the urban-rural dual structure development model to the urban-rural coordinated development model.

Six, from the southeast coastal development to the eastern, central and western balanced development.

Seven, from the development mode of "giving priority to efficiency and giving consideration to fairness" to the development mode of paying equal attention to efficiency and fairness, and paying more attention to safeguarding and improving people's livelihood.

Eight, from the simple pursuit of GDP growth to the development mode of "inclusive growth".
