How to promote urbanization

First of all, we should establish the concept of "agriculture-oriented" rural urbanization construction. "Agriculture-oriented" is the foundation and premise of rural urbanization. In the process of rural urbanization, everything should be conducive to the development of agriculture, rural areas and farmers, so as to better realize the continuous transfer of rural population to cities and towns, the continuous concentration of secondary and tertiary industries to cities and towns, the continuous optimization of rural industrial structure, effectively promote the modernization process of agriculture, rural areas and farmers, and gradually form a new pattern of integration of urban and rural economic and social development.

Second, fully demonstrate and scientifically plan rural urbanization. Scientific planning determines the future development space of rural urbanization. Research, demonstration and scientific planning should fully tap the potential ability of future development, correctly locate the development direction of urbanization and clarify the functional orientation of cities and towns according to the actual situation and advantages of local resources, industry, location and culture. Scientific planning should be forward-looking, adapt to future rural development, and consider regional coordination. Compatibility is to leave room for future development, and regional coordination is to consider the complementary advantages of regions within a certain radius and realize regional coordinated development. Compatibility and coordination will determine the level, speed and quality of urban development in the future, and determine how far the rural urbanization road can go in the future.

Third, increase investment in agriculture and rural infrastructure to consolidate the foundation of rural urbanization. In the early stage of industrialization in China, the economic and social development was mainly the contribution of agriculture to industry and cities, which led to a serious shortage of state investment in agriculture and rural areas for decades. At present, China's economic and social development has reached the stage of industry feeding back agriculture, so it is imperative to increase investment in agriculture and rural infrastructure. The frequent agricultural natural disasters in recent years have also sounded the alarm for us. This year's drought in southwest China has once again exposed the heavy price we have to pay for the arrears of agricultural infrastructure. From 2004 to 20 10, the Central Committee of China issued the No.1 document with the theme of "agriculture, rural areas and farmers" for seven consecutive years, emphasizing the "top priority" position of "agriculture, rural areas and farmers" in China's socialist modernization period. This year, the No.1 Document of the Central Committee has clearly stated that it is necessary to increase investment in agricultural and rural infrastructure, not only with actual investment, but also with the existing local infrastructure.

Fourth, effectively solve the employment of agricultural population and the transfer of surplus labor force, which is the foundation of people's livelihood. The education level of rural population is generally low, which leads to the phenomenon that the quality of existing labor force can not meet the requirements of urbanization for talent quality, and there is a shortage of needed talents and a surplus of existing labor force. In the process of urbanization, in addition to the reform of household registration system, we must constantly innovate institutional mechanisms, establish a public employment service system covering urban and rural areas, and build an employment platform; It is also necessary to give full play to local advantages in education and scientific research, integrate training resources, and actively carry out agricultural production technology and skills training for migrant workers, so that they can master certain knowledge and skills and enhance farmers' scientific farming, employment and entrepreneurship.

Fifth, efforts should be made to crack the restrictive factors of the transformation from traditional agriculture to modern agriculture and improve the competitiveness of agriculture in domestic and foreign markets. Decentralized land management is the bottleneck restricting the development of traditional agriculture to modern agriculture, which greatly limits the popularization and application of modern agricultural science and technology, increases the cost of agricultural production and reduces the competitive advantage of agricultural products in the market. The shortage of funds is another factor that restricts the large-scale production of modern agriculture. The state should further strengthen the management and service of land contractual management right transfer, improve the transfer market, provide corresponding legal services for farmers, and develop various forms of moderate scale operation on the basis of voluntary paid transfer according to law; Regarding the shortage of funds, this year's No.1 Document of the Central Committee has proposed that we should improve the quality and level of rural financial services, strengthen the effective connection between fiscal and taxation policies and rural financial policies, guide more credit funds to invest in agriculture, rural areas and farmers, and effectively solve the problem of rural financing difficulties, but we should also actively encourage private capital to enter the rural market, form diversified financing channels, and solve the problem of capital shortage. Only in this way can we continuously improve the level of agricultural mechanization, increase the investment in agricultural science and technology innovation, extend the agricultural industrial chain, build brand agriculture, realize the high efficiency of agricultural products and realize the rapid transformation from traditional agriculture to modern agriculture.

Six, coordinate the development of the three industries, to provide industrial support for urban development. The development of cities and towns cannot be separated from industrial support, but the development of industries should be based on the premise of less resource consumption, less environmental pollution, high technology content and good economic benefits, and we must never blindly develop low-carbon, energy-saving and environmentally-friendly green industries in pursuit of economic benefits. At present, China's township enterprises generally have the characteristics of small scale, low technology content and weak product market competitiveness. We should actively guide existing township enterprises, promote enterprise upgrading through mergers and acquisitions, encourage scientific and technological innovation, and improve the market competitiveness of products. Conditional places can apply for planning industrial clusters to form industrial clusters, and at the same time, they should formulate relevant policies, develop high-quality service industries, create a good development environment, and realize benign interaction and coordinated development among industries.

Seven, actively do a good job in the social problems brought about by the aging of rural population, and effectively improve the level of rural social security. Rural families have now reached the age of only child, and the phenomenon of empty nesters is widespread in both urban and rural areas. The aging phenomenon in rural areas makes it urgent to solve the problem of rural old-age care. It is urgent to improve and perfect various social security systems in rural areas. It is necessary to solve and implement the policy convergence between urban and rural areas, ensure the guaranteed flow of urban and rural population, continuously improve the level of medical security, expand the rural old-age insurance pilot, learn from the successful experience of solving population aging at home and abroad, carry out pilot projects in rural towns, and establish a scientific and perfect old-age security system as soon as possible.
