Which is more important, stimulating consumption or raising income?
It is very important to stimulate consumption to activate the vitality of a society, but everyone thinks about why we should activate the vitality of a societyWhy does society need to be activated?Is it because you don't want to consume?Not really!It's because there is no money.
If you don't have money, why can't you raise your income?Why stimulate consumption?What is the relationship between the two?
Personally, I think that if you want to stimulate consumption, you must increase income, you must increase jobs, and the two complement each other, and if you blindly stimulate consumption, the effect will be greatly reduced.
Before that, let's explain what stimulates consumption and what increases income
The former is to ask you to spend money, and the latter is to find a way to give you money, which is the essential difference between the two.
And now we are emphasizing stimulating consumption, there is nothing wrong with stimulating consumption, the impact of consumption on the economy is crucial, with enough consumption to promote industrial economic upgrading, to help social transformation.
Now we are facing the dilemma is the lack of external demand, in the past our development was very dependent on exports, now exports are sluggish, then we must need new channels of catharsis, not externally, then we can only stimulate consumption internally, and stimulate consumption happens to be able to effectively promote economic growth.
In short, this thing is good, but why is it not effective to stimulate consumption?The main reason is that there is no money, and the main reason is that the burden of ordinary people is too heavy.
I do have some money in my hand but I don't dare to spend it, the current society needs money for everything, first of all, food, clothing, housing and transportation, and buying a house, getting married, and raising children, not to mention, how dare you spend money with a thousand pounds of burden?
The second is the lack of income and employment, economic development in recent years has indeed attracted worldwide attention, but the income of ordinary people is still limited, unable to bear high consumption.
If these burdens are not solved, the common people will not increase their spending power, so in order to stimulate consumption and solve the causes of insufficient domestic demand, it is necessary to solve these problems.
First of all, it is necessary to increase the income of ordinary people, as well as the most difficult employment problem, ordinary people have a large level of income from work, then consumption is inevitable.
This is also a virtuous circle, ordinary people have money in their hands, they must consume, must improve their quality of life, so that factories and enterprises have demand, domestic demand will be pulled up, enterprises have demand will inevitably increase the number of jobs need more labor, and the new labor force will bring new consumption.
Furthermore, it is necessary to solve the social pressure, solve the housing problem of laborers, solve the cost of education, and solve the high burden of marriage.
Let's think about it, if the cost of marriage and housing has been reduced, then does an ordinary family still need to save 200,000, 300,000 or even 500,000 yuan?It's definitely not needed, this money can be exchanged for consumption, think about how much domestic demand this is?
Not to mention three or five hundred thousand, even if a family only takes out 100,000 yuan for consumption, then what a terrible demand countless families should have, our enterprise, our economy is not a day, at least it is thriving.
If there is demand in society and catharsis in the economy, then everything will be revitalized, so what we need to do now is definitely not to blindly stimulate consumption.
At the local level, and even at the policy level, we should find ways to increase incomes, increase jobs, improve the social security system, improve the marriage system, solve the problem of high housing prices, and solve the problem of education.
In short, in order to reduce the burden on the people, it is necessary not only to stimulate consumption, but also to increase income!
Now that we have entered a new era, there is still huge inequality in the economy, which reflects some of the problems and points us in the right direction
In the future, we must still pay close attention to economic construction, promote economic development, and promote all-round development, never forget our original intention, keep our mission in mind, and serve the people!
