1In June, 1994, Comrade Peng Peiyun clearly pointed out at the symposium of directors of the State Family Planning Commission held in Yancheng City, Jiangsu Province that taking the road of "three combinations" is the road of hope for doing a good job in rural family planning work, and the only way to deepen the reform of family planning work and establish a new mechanism for family planning work that is compatible with the socialist market economic system. Since Yancheng Conference, all localities have accelerated the pace of "three combinations" and achieved positive results, emerging, developing and forming new experiences with their own characteristics.

1. The level of understanding has been further improved, and new ideas have gradually become clear.

After Yancheng Conference, raising awareness and unifying thoughts became the key link to promote the work of "three combinations" in all localities. After full investigation and study, leaders at all levels believe that "three combinations" is not only a problem of method, but also a problem of direction, not only a theoretical problem, but also a practical problem. Under the new situation of determining the socialist market economic system, family planning must take the road of "three combinations" and constantly improve its work level. Population problem is a development problem, which is closely related to solving women's problems and farmers' problems. Popularizing the "three combinations" is an inevitable requirement of grasping the two kinds of production at the same time, which embodies the purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly, conforms to the strong desire of farmers to get rich through hard work and pursue a civilized and happy life, and is an effective way to do a good job in family planning.

On June 194+00, the National Family Planning Commission held a national seminar on the coordinated development of population, economy and society in Guanghan City, Sichuan Province. 17 party and government leaders of 23 counties (cities) in the province, some population experts and the director of the provincial family planning commission attended the seminar. Everyone feels that with the development of economy and society and the deepening of family planning work, the past method of solving the population problem only by slowing down the population growth rate and focusing solely on family planning has become increasingly unsuitable for the requirements of the new situation. The meeting agreed that it is necessary to understand the population problem from a broader perspective, take comprehensive measures in a wider field, find new joint points, and form a great synergy to promote the coordinated development of population and economy and society. From Jilin, Liaoning and other provinces to sum up the "three combinations" experience of family planning work, to Yancheng to implement the "civilized project of having fewer children and getting rich quickly", and then to Sichuan to take strong government actions and make comprehensive decisions to promote the "three combinations" of family planning work in rural areas, and further promote the coordinated development, all-round development and sustainable development of rural population and economy and society.

1In March, 1995, Comrade Zhang Weiqing, executive deputy director of the National Family Planning Commission, pointed out that "three orientations" and "three combinations" are the creations of the broad masses in family planning practice, which reflect the objective laws and inevitable trends of family planning work, and combine the national guidance with the voluntary participation of the masses, social constraints and interest orientation, which meet the requirements of the times to realize people's all-round development and become two major events to pay close attention to family planning work. The central leading comrades have fully affirmed it many times, pointing out that this is the correct way to solve the population problem and accelerate the development of rural family planning work.

In view of the present situation of national conditions, provincial conditions and local (city) conditions, and the new problems and situations faced by family planning work in the new historical period, leaders in many places have clarified their thinking and unified their understanding through investigation, research and demonstration, that is, they should change the working methods of family planning in the past, organize people of childbearing age to develop agricultural production according to local conditions, participate in various business activities, and provide them with socialized services. Help them solve the specific difficulties in production, life and childbirth, and give preferential treatment to families who practice family planning in terms of policies, projects, funds and technology, so that they can get rich as soon as possible and feel the benefits of family planning from their immediate interests. The acquisition of these understandings indicates that we have a deeper understanding of the objective law of the coordinated development of population, economy and society and the internal operation law of family planning work, gained some valuable experience in practical exploration, and began to embark on a new road.

2. Take effective measures to form an overall development trend.

In some places where the family planning work has a good foundation, with the promotion of the government, the "three-in-one" work has developed actively and rapidly from point to point.

The active participation of Sichuan provincial government and relevant departments in promoting the "three combinations" is very prominent. The "three-in-one" work in this province can develop the spontaneous and decentralized practice of relying solely on a family planning department into unified understanding, unified deployment, unified planning and unified action in the whole province in a short time, and government behavior has played a key role. The focus of the "three combinations" determined by the provincial party committee and government is to encourage, guide and support families who practice family planning to get rich first, thus greatly improving their social status and economic benefits. Eight agriculture-related departments, including the Provincial Family Planning Commission, the Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Department, the Forestry Department, the Hydropower Department, the Township Enterprise Bureau, the Animal Husbandry and Food Office, the Agricultural Machinery Bureau and the Poverty Alleviation Office, jointly issued a notice to determine that each township has 10 households, each county has 100 households, each department has at least 100 households, and the whole province has1. By the beginning of 1995, the province had directly helped more than 250,000 households. In Deyang, Guangyuan, Fuling and other places in Sichuan, due to the early start of the "three combinations" work and effective government action, the per capita income of rural one-child families has been higher than the local average level, and rural economic work has also embarked on the road of sustained, rapid and healthy development.

1In June, 1994, the Jilin Provincial Party Committee and the provincial government made the Decision on Further Developing the "Three Combinations" of Family Planning Work in Rural Areas of Jilin Province, requiring Party committees and governments at all levels to incorporate the "Three Combinations" activities into the overall planning of rural economic and social development and take the civilized road of having fewer children and getting rich quickly. At the same time, more than a dozen departments, such as propaganda, culture, agriculture, family planning, science and technology, finance, civil affairs and mass organizations, have been further clarified, and the "three-in-one" activities of family planning work have been included in the target management responsibility system for population and family planning signed with governments at all levels, and they have been carefully assessed. Therefore, 1994 has become the "in-depth development year" of the "three combinations" in Jilin Province. With the vigorous promotion of government actions and the enthusiastic participation of the masses, more than 30,000 couples who meet the policy have voluntarily postponed or refused to have a second child, helping more than 240,000 poor families with family planning to get rid of poverty. In order to further consolidate and expand the achievements of the work, from 65438 to 0995, the provincial party committee and government decided to carry out the "three-in-one" activities to benefit the people, focusing on improving the work level of the "three-in-one".

Since Yancheng Conference, Party committees and governments in some places have made decisions and made arrangements, taken effective measures to strengthen government behavior, actively selected experimental demonstration sites, and promoted the gradual development of experience and work. In this regard, Heilongjiang, Jiangxi, Fujian, Hunan, Shanxi, Anhui, Qinghai, Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia, Hebei, Henan, Yunnan, Hainan and other provinces and regions have made decisions, put forward work opinions, implementation plans or pilot programs, and promoted the "three combinations" work in their own provinces and regions.

3. Strengthen classification and guide development according to local conditions.

The "three combinations" method is suitable for economically developed areas, economically underdeveloped areas, poverty-stricken areas and ethnic minority areas. However, due to the objective stage and imbalance of the coordinated development of population and economy and society, regions with different economic and social conditions and population conditions should take different ways and steps to explore their own unique experiences in the process of promoting the "three combinations" from their own reality.

First, economically developed or relatively developed areas. Most of these areas are first-class areas for family planning work and have a good work foundation. The work of "three combinations" started earlier and has more successful experiences. The promotion from point to surface is fast and wide, and the masses are enthusiastic and effective. At present, it is in the stage of expanding its achievements and in-depth development.

Heilongjiang province proposes to combine the implementation of family planning with poverty alleviation and development, promoting agriculture through science and education, building spiritual civilization and economic development based on village to household, and do everything possible to open up the way for farmers to get rich. After investigating the situation of provinces and cities, five types of "three combinations" are put forward, including utilization, publicity and guidance, fund-raising and shareholding, pairing and mutual assistance, and support and cultivation, which strengthens the specific guidance for different types of regions and makes all regions embark on a road of "three combinations" suitable for their own development.

Beijing gave full play to the advantages of developed urban economy and proximity between urban and rural areas, and launched the activity of "urban and rural areas join hands and households are connected". Districts and counties take the form of voluntary combination, organize enterprises to go deep into rural areas to send technology, send funds and engage in project cooperation to help farmers get rich as soon as possible and promote suburban economic development.

Liaoning province is a national industrial base, with many large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises, and employees and urban residents account for about half of the total population of the province. They pay attention to combining the "three combinations" work with the urban community construction, strive to increase the production, living and maternity services for the broad masses of employees, and combine the "three combinations" of family planning with the "re-employment project" of employees in view of the new situation of the increase of laid-off workers in large and medium-sized enterprises and the poor efficiency of enterprises. On the basis of finding out the number of laid-off workers, reasons for laid-off, family status, marriage and childbearing status, etc. The principle of "giving preferential treatment to fixed personnel, taking care of floating personnel and helping destitute personnel" was determined, and key assistance was given to key targets, which played a very good role in improving people's living standards and maintaining social stability.

Second, economically underdeveloped areas. Most of these areas are second-and third-class areas for family planning work, and their work foundation is relatively poor, but they have also actively carried out the pilot and demonstration work of "three combinations" and achieved success in a certain range. At present, we are actively summing up experience and organizing promotion.

The northern Shaanxi area of Shaanxi Province combines the work of "three combinations" with the construction of new countryside, encourages rural women to learn scientific and technological knowledge, contracts orchards, increases family income and improves women's economic status; Encourage women to participate in various social activities, show rural women's love of life, diligence and kindness, and improve women's social status, so as to liberate women from the limited living space that was limited to housework in the past, give full play to women's intelligence, truly embody gender equality in marriage, family, productive labor and social participation, and form a new rural community style.

According to local conditions, Fuzhou, Jiangxi Province has chosen the combination mode of "one factory with ten family planning households" and "one company with ten family planning households" to link rural economic entities with family planning families, so as to realize the sharing of benefits and risks between economic entities and family planning families.

Shanxi province has carried out the "three combinations" pilot project in 3 1 county. Yuci city explored four forms of "three combinations", namely, neighborhood-driven, collective funding, self-supporting and central radiation; Gaoping city has carried out the "three marriages" activities, that is, family planning and economy, science and technology, education "three marriages" to achieve a well-off life with fewer children and quick wealth; Yongji city has carried out the work of "aiming at the Yellow River Beach to help people get rich quickly".

Third, poor areas and ethnic minority areas. Such areas have harsh natural conditions, weak economic foundation and low education level, and the problem of food and clothing for many people has not been completely solved. Family planning work is still in the stage of trying to complete the population plan and control the population growth. Leaders at all levels fully realize that poverty-stricken areas need to take the road of coordinated development of population, economy, society, resources and environment, so as to make family planning work to a higher level and get rid of the label of backwardness. Therefore, they regard the "three-in-one" work as a development contract, actively choose some demonstration sites, closely combine them with poverty alleviation and development work, and take this as a breakthrough to find their own "three-in-one" road.

Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region combines family planning work with the construction of "ecological economic ditch" and establishes "family planning green insurance fund forest", thus embarking on a new road with less money and guaranteed long-term pension payment in the near future.

In view of the fact that there are 73 poverty-stricken counties out of 627 counties in Yunnan Province and more than 6.6 million people out of 40 million people in the province have not solved the problem of food and clothing, Yunnan Province regards poverty alleviation and development as the focus of the "three-in-one" work. The provincial financial arrangement150,000 yuan is used to combine poverty alleviation with family planning, of which 5 million yuan is used to carry out the work of "three combinations".

4. Take comprehensive measures to strengthen the interest-oriented mechanism.

An important sign that the work of "three combinations" has begun to deepen is that the measures taken by various localities in accordance with the requirements of combined development have strengthened the interest-oriented mechanism and have the nature of comprehensive management and systematic coordination. Party committees and governments at all levels play a key role in formulating preferential family planning policies, using interest-oriented mechanisms, mobilizing departments to participate in comprehensive management, and promoting the coordinated development of population and economy and society.

First, it should be incorporated into the economic and social development strategy and overall planning. Sichuan province has implemented the overall strategy of "stabilizing grain, increasing income and adjusting structure, having fewer healthy children and getting rich quickly and running towards a well-off society". The Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee and the provincial government regard the new family planning activity of "late marriage and late childbirth, fewer births and healthier births, diligence and prosperity, civilization and happiness" as an important content of the Outline of the Construction of Socialist Spiritual Civilization in Zhejiang Province, and demand that the new family planning goal be basically realized in the whole province by 2000.

The second is to solve the financial difficulties and increase the investment quota. In view of the lack of start-up funds for the masses, various localities have adopted the method of raising funds through multiple channels in their work, and established the "Trinity" project fund for family planning, putting limited funds into rural families practicing family planning to help them develop production and business projects. Some areas have set up special loans in the Agricultural Bank to provide financial support for the "Trinity" family planning project and provide conditions for the people to get rid of poverty and become rich. According to statistics, during the period of 1994, Jilin province provided more than 200 million yuan of production loans to support the development of family planning, and the provincial finance allocated/kloc-0.08 million yuan for the "trinity" project. By June 1995 10, the province's "three-oriented" development fund reached more than 2 1 100 million yuan. The Yunnan provincial government allocated 2 million yuan to set up a provincial family planning fund to support the "three-in-one" development of ethnic minorities and poverty-stricken areas.

Third, the "three excellent" policy is widely implemented, and families who practice family planning are given priority, preferential treatment and preferential treatment in many aspects. In terms of business tax, those who start an enterprise through the mode of operation in the "three certificates in one" project will be given priority to apply for a business license, and at the same time, tax will be appropriately reduced or exempted within a certain period of time; In choosing the development of the "Trinity" family planning project, all localities are allowed to start all projects except those explicitly prohibited by laws and regulations on the premise of adapting to local conditions, and provide one-stop services for the projects, so that scattered and spontaneous production activities can enter a centralized and orderly state and enhance the market competitiveness of the products of the "Trinity" family planning project; In terms of employment, in view of the abundant rural labor resources, underdeveloped economy and people's strong desire to get rich, many places tend to set up some labor-intensive enterprises suitable for women of childbearing age when choosing development projects. When recruiting employees, try to take care of family planning families and give priority to women of childbearing age who have a certain educational level and are economically difficult to find employment; In terms of technical support, we should focus on helping and guiding farmers to become rich through science and technology, and adhere to technical guidance before, during and after delivery.

The fourth is to improve the social security system for family planning. In order to reassure families who practice family planning and promote the change of farmers' concept of fertility, all localities regard the establishment of a multi-level social security system as one of the important contents of strengthening the interest-oriented mechanism of family planning, and carry out various insurances such as one-child insurance, old-age insurance for one-child households and double-female ligation households, and "trinity" project insurance, and the insurance amount is increasing day by day. The total amount of family planning insurance handled in Shandong Province has reached nearly 654.38 billion yuan.

Fifth, poverty alleviation and development are closely integrated with family planning. Anhui Province links 40% of the total poverty alleviation loans in the province with the poverty alleviation rate, family planning rate and the benefit of loan use, giving priority to granting loans to poor counties with good family planning work, and supporting family planning families to set up economic development projects and develop township enterprises. Luliang area in Shanxi province is "relying on science and technology to help the poor and promote economic development;" Adhere to family planning and ensure stable poverty alleviation, further sum up experience and formulate corresponding policies and measures; Implement the "seven priorities" policy for family planning families and limit the number of super-born families; Encourage poverty alleviation before childbirth; Leading the poverty alleviation economic entity, it must also contract the family planning task; Supporting investment of funds and projects for poverty alleviation through science and technology. Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region regards the combination of poverty alleviation and family planning as one of the "seven adherences" that must be done to do a good job in poverty alleviation at present. Strengthening family planning and controlling population growth are the main poverty alleviation methods in the poverty alleviation plan of the autonomous region. Yunnan province regards poverty alleviation and development as the focus of the province's "three combinations" work, and takes population growth control as the main content of guiding ideology and index assessment in provincial poverty alleviation planning, and has formulated policies and measures that combine incentives and constraints.

5. Broaden the service field and strengthen the service function.

The work of "three combinations" requires broadening the service field, providing high-quality services, enhancing comprehensive service functions, and striving to meet the growing production, life and fertility needs of the masses. As far as family planning itself is concerned, a remarkable sign of the improvement of work level is the rise of quality service.

In recent years, Jiangsu province has carried out the whole service of contraception and reproductive health care, explored new ways to do a good job in quality service, and gained valuable experience. Taking the whole process of contraceptive service as one of the important tasks, the province has established a service quality evaluation system, which has been included in the target assessment content and carefully organized and implemented.

Self-care education has been widely carried out in rural grass-roots units, urban streets, enterprises and institutions in Shanghai, which has greatly reduced the proportion of unintended pregnancy, abortion and induced labor among people of childbearing age. At present, the city's family planning health education is incorporated into community construction, with the masses as the center, serving the all-round development of family planning objects and striving to improve the quality of family planning work.
