The third major development is the sharp reduction of the rural poor. We all know that how much water a barrel can hold depends on its shortcomings, and the backward rural economy is the shortcoming of China's economy. However, with the building of a well-off society in an all-round way, the number of poor people in rural areas has decreased by more than 80 million, which is an amazing figure and the result of China's economic construction.
Fourthly, people's livelihood in China is increasing, and people have changed and developed with each passing day in all aspects of social life. For example, the basic medical insurance has covered 65.438+34 billion people, and the problem of difficulty in seeing a doctor is improving. Those who have no money to see a doctor also have the opportunity to be reborn under state subsidies. In education, since the implementation of nine-year compulsory education, the enrollment rate of senior high schools has reached 88%, and more children can receive education for free.
In addition, China's environmental protection work has been carried out in an orderly manner and achieved remarkable results, which is also a major development. Since the start of the blue sky defense war in China, the sunny weather index in 337 cities across the country has increased and the concentration of PM2.5 has decreased. This rise and fall has added oil and gas to our environmental protection work.
Sixth, due to the implementation of the innovation-driven development strategy, innovative scientific and technological achievements have emerged in recent years. Besides scientists, there are also many works by ordinary people and college students. Throughout the world, the number of scientific and technological patent applications in China has been far ahead, ranking first in the world.
