国民经济调整时期中国共产党关于职工生活困难问题的应对与思考

建党百年来，保障和改善职工生活是中国共产党矢志不渝的目标与追求。新中国成立后，在极端困难的条件下，党领导人民政府采取系列举措，尽其所能地给予职工生活以基本保障。国民经济调整时期，为应对职工生活困难面有所扩大、程度有所加深的新情况，党和国家从“统筹兼顾、适当安排”方针出发，协调处理宏观经济调整工作与职工生活困难补助工作之间的关系，适当加大对困难职工的补助力度。随着经济形势的好转，党和国家创造性地提出将职工互助与困难补助相结合的工作思路，转为提倡和推广职工互助互济活动，在不增加或少增加财政和职工负担的基础上，尽力减轻职工生活困难并力争有所改善。总而言之，1961—1965年党在应对职工生活困难问题上所积累的实践经验、形成的理论思考，可为新时代民生建设工作提供一定历史借鉴。 

The CPC's Responses and Reflections on the Difficulties of Employees' Living in the Period of National Economic Adjustment

Over the past century since the founding of the CPC, guaranteeing and improving the lives of employees had been the persevering goal and pursuit of the Party. After the founding of People’s Republic of China, the Party and the Government had taken a series of measures to do their best to provide basic guarantees for employees’ living, while the whole society was under extreme economic difficulties. During the period of national economic adjustment, in order to cope with the new situation, under which employees were going through a harder time and facing with deeper difficulties, the Party and the Government adhered to the policy “overall consideration and appropriate arrangements”, coordinated the work of readjusting the macro economy and subsidizing employees’ living, and appropriately increased subsidies for employees in need. With the improvement of the economic situation, the Party and the Government proposed creatively a working method which was combining mutual assistance among employees and subsidies for difficulties, and then put it into practice. The Party and the Government tried their best to reduce the difficulties of employees’ living and improve their life for the better, on the basis of not increasing or less increasing the burden in terms of the state’s finance and employees’ personal outlays. All in all, the historical experience and theoretical thinking that the CPC had accumulated in dealing with the difficulties of employees’ living from 1961 to 1965, are helpful for construction of people’s livelihood in the new era.
