Productive forces are the ultimate decisive force for all social development, and the most important thing in promoting modernization is to develop highly developed productive forces. **The general secretary stressed that we should accelerate the development of new quality productive forces and solidly promote high-quality development. As a major economic province and a major manufacturing province, Guangdong has abundant scientific and technological innovation resources and strong scientific and technological innovation strength, and shoulders an important mission and major responsibility in the development of new quality productivity.
Build a new type of workforce and build a talent base for the development of new quality productivity.
Labor is the source and driving force for the continuous development of the productive forces, and the laborers are the factors that play a leading role in the productive forces. **The general secretary emphasized that talent is the first resource. We must give the highest priority to the development of human resources, vigorously build strategic human resources, and strive to consolidate the talent foundation for innovation and development. The key to the development of new quality productivity in Guangdong is to build a new type of workforce that wants to innovate, dare to innovate and can innovate, accelerate the establishment of a competitive advantage in human resources, and make Guangdong's talent pyramid "more solid, stronger and higher spire".
First of all, the prospective talents should lead the right direction of high-quality development. Regard talents as treasures, face the world's frontier of science and technology, the main battlefield of the economy, the major needs of the country and the life and health of the people, based on creating a social environment that respects talents and is eager to seek talents, a fair, equal, competitive and merit-based institutional environment, appropriate treatment and strong living environment, improves the system and mechanism of the party's overall leadership over talent work, promotes the introduction of high standards and high-quality independent training, and improves the long-term development plan for talent work in Guangdong.
