王小平: 中国将加大资源和资金支持就业,出台新政策帮助高校毕业生就业,目标是今年创造1200万个城镇就业岗位,保持城镇失业率在5.5%左右。 我们将采取更具体的措施,例如支持劳动密集型产业转型升级,关注先进制造业、新消费热点、城乡基层地区以及中小企业。 为高校毕业生提供更多就业机会,实施百万大学生实习计划,解决就业压力。 为脱贫人口提供就业机会,防止返贫,这需要中央和地方政府以及企业和金融机构的共同努力。 对于老年农民工,需要关注其社会保障问题,采取多方面措施,包括政府支持和家庭支持。 姚树建: 经济增长是创造就业的关键引擎,今年GDP增长目标为5%,这将有助于创造足够的就业岗位。 支持劳动密集型产业转型升级,以及中小微企业发展,是增加就业的重要机制。 大学与企业合作,政府鼓励企业提供更多就业机会,实施就业培训计划,这些都是解决高校毕业生就业问题的必要措施。 为脱贫人口提供就业机会是防止返贫的关键,这需要政府、社区和农业农村部门的共同努力。 老年农民工由于缺乏社会保障,更容易陷入贫困,政府需要关注这一群体,提供精准的帮助。 马克·卡尼: 我将赢得与美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的贸易战。美国人应该明白,在我的领导下,加拿大绝不会成为美国的第51个州。 约瑟夫·西拉库萨: 卡尼在自由党内部选举中获胜,因为他是一位技术官僚,而不是政客,加拿大人厌倦了特鲁多的政治斗争。 特朗普对加拿大和特鲁多的攻击激发了加拿大的民族主义情绪,帮助自由党扭转了政治局面。 卡尼拥有应对特朗普关税威胁的技术和能力,他将通过多样化贸易、外交手段和经济计划来应对。 加拿大此前未能多样化贸易,是因为其经济与美国高度整合,但特朗普的威胁将迫使加拿大寻找新的市场。 特朗普的关税政策不会奏效,最终会在特朗普下台后得到解决。
