2016李克强答中外记者提问(10)

以增加就业。在我的印象当中，G20这么说可能还是第一次，这表明主要经济体更加看重增长和就业的关系。

Li Keqiang: As I said before, I am aware of those pessimistic reports about the

Chinese economy. Last year, without taking additional short-term stimulus measures, we succeeded in meeting the economic target. Why can’t we do it this year? There is no denying that we may encounter a more complex situation this year. We have set this year’s GDP growth target at around 7.5%. What we have on our mind is to ensure employment, improve people’s lives and increase urban and rural incomes. What we care more about is the livelihood of our people behind a GDP figure and employment behind GDP growth. On 23 February, the G20 Finance Ministers and Central Governors Meeting issued a communiqué. It said that the G20 will work to raise its collective GDP by 2% within five years based on the current trajectory in order to add jobs. As far as I recall, this is the first time the G20 set such a target. That shows all major economies value the role of growth in generating jobs.

没有就业就没有收入，也难以增加社会财富。我在基层曾经访问过一些“零就业”家庭，一个家庭没有一个人就业，真是毫无生气，没有希望。现在我们全国每年要新增城镇劳动力就业1000万人以上，还要给六七百万新增的农村劳动力进城务工留有一定的空间，所以要有合理的GDP增速。当然，我们既然说GDP增长的预期目标是7.5%左右。左右嘛，就是有弹性的，高一点，低一点，我们是有容忍度的。至于你说可以接受的下限是什么，那就是这个GDP必须保证比较充分的就业，使居民收入有增长。我们不片面追求GDP，但是我们还是需要贴近老百姓的GDP，提高质量效益、节能环保的GDP。谢谢。

Without a job, there is no source of income and it will be difficult to increase social wealth. I once visited some zero-employment families. When none of the family

members has a job, the entire family is listless and hopeless. Each year we need to add over 10 million urban jobs and leave room for about six to seven million rural migrant workers to come to get employed in cities. Therefore we need appropriate GDP growth. We set the GDP growth target for this year at about 7.5%. This “about” means that there is a level of flexibility here. You asked me what is the lowest GDP growth that we can live with. This GDP growth needs to ensure fairly full employment and realize

reasonable increase of people’s income. We are not preoccupied with GDP growth. The GDP growth we want is one that brings real benefits to our people, helps raise the

quality and efficiency of economic development and contributes to energy conservation and environmental protection.
