迟福林在《中国经济时报》2005年12月23日撰文指出: 下一步改革如何能够确立以人为本的改革观,有三个方面很重要。 1.面对社会日益突出的两大矛盾,应当明确地确定改革攻坚的两个基本性目标我们现在面临着两大突出矛盾。首先,经济快速增长同发展不平衡、资源环境约束的突出矛盾。其次,我们面临着社会成员在公共需求的全面、快速增长同公共服务不到位、公共产品严重短缺的突出矛盾。 Chi Fulin wrote in the “China Economic Times” on December 23, 2005: "The next step in reform is how to establish a people-centered perspective on reform. There are three aspects that are important. 1. Faced with the two major contradictions that are becoming increasingly prominent in our society, we should clearly identify the two basic goals of tackling the reform. We now face two prominent contradictions. First, the prominent contradictions between rapid economic growth and unbalanced development and resource and environment constraints. Second, we are facing prominent contradictions among members of society in the face of the all-round and rapid growth of public demands, the lack of public service and the serious shortage of public goods.
