On Mechanisms for Promoting Social Structural Reform

Abstract

As far as social structural reform is concerned, the 18th National Congress of the CPC has expressly put forward the strategic task of “accelerating social structural reform”. Actually, in today’s meeting, the key breakthrough point for promoting social structural system reform is stepping up efforts to promote reform of NGO management system so as to form as soon as possible a modern NGO system characterized by separation of government administration and NGO management, well-defined rights and responsibilities and self-governance according to law. But this does not represent all the connotations of the entire social structural reform. One important contribution of the 18th National Congress of the CPC is that it takes social construction as an integral part of the five modernization construction (i.e. industrial modernization, agricultural modernization, national defense modernization, modernization of science and technology, and modernization of national governance systems and national governance capacity).
