The great ship of the times has entered 2006, and the magnificent Tenth Five-Year Plan has come to an end. In the past five years, the economy of our banner has developed rapidly, the quality of people's life has been continuously improved, and great changes have taken place in food, clothing, housing and transportation, making life more colorful. Only from the perspective of Xinhui town, we can see the great changes during the tenth five-year plan period. According to the statistics of urban investigation team, during the Tenth Five-Year Plan period, the income level of urban residents has been continuously improved while the national economy has developed steadily. In 2005, the per capita disposable income of urban residents in the whole banner reached 6 122 yuan, an increase of 58.0% over 2000, with an average annual increase of 9.6%. The income sources of urban residents have been further broadened, and the income structure has diversified characteristics. With the increase of income, the life and consumption structure of residents in our banner have also changed. During the tenth five-year plan period, the consumption structure of urban residents in our banner tends to be optimized, the quality of life of residents is further improved, and the consumption structure is diversified and multi-level.
Clothing pays attention to the pursuit of brand and fashion.
Food, clothing, housing and transportation. After solving the problem of food and clothing, people often put clothing in the first place, because clothing is the first brand for people to show themselves. During the Tenth Five-Year Plan period, great changes have taken place in the clothes of the people in our flag. Fashion has become synonymous with some young people. Now, walking on the streets of Xinhui town, people can't see the gray or grass-green clothing colors in the past, and it is no exaggeration to describe people's clothes with colorful colors. Even in winter, people wearing clothes of various styles and colors will add a beauty to the town.
At present, people not only choose the quality and color of clothing, but also pursue the brand and fashion, reflecting personality and self-cultivation. The clothing industry has evolved into a colorful fashion industry. "More clothes in one season" has replaced "more clothes in one season", and the clothing industry has become the most colorful industry today. In recent years, with the improvement of the income level of urban and rural residents, people's purchasing power is also improving. At present, walking on the streets of Xinhui Town, you will feel more and more shops and supermarkets, many of which are brand-name clothing stores and clothing supermarkets. Business is booming in these shops, and many men, women and children come to buy their favorite clothes every day.
According to the survey, clothing has evolved into branding, upscale, fashionable and personalized. During the Tenth Five-Year Plan period, urban residents made less and less clothes, and more and more people bought ready-made clothes, which reflected the change of people's clothing consumption concept from one side. Urban residents' awareness of the brand and quality of clothing consumption is enhanced, emphasizing the characteristics of high-grade, fashion and individuality. Clothing styles with monotonous colors and single fabrics are no longer welcomed by consumers, but are replaced by brand-name clothes with excellent texture and novel styles. Young people pay attention to the trendy, fashionable and personalized clothing, middle-aged people pay attention to the texture and style of clothing, and old people pay attention to the comfort and informality of clothing. High-paid people prefer famous brands and high-end clothes. In 2005, the per capita clothing expenditure of urban residents was 57 1 yuan, an increase of 39.3% over 2000, with an average annual increase of 6.8%.
Eat until you are full, good and happy.
During the Tenth Five-Year Plan period, with the development and perfection of the market economy, the food market is rich and varied, and residents pay more attention to the improvement of quality on the basis of eating enough. People pay attention to the reasonable adjustment of dietary structure, the combination of meat and vegetables, the combination of fine and fine nutrition, and the scientific, balanced and diversified food. During the Tenth Five-Year Plan period, green food, black food and educational food have become the fashions pursued by urban residents. In 2005, the per capita food expenditure of urban residents was 1.476 yuan, an increase of 53.7% over 2000, with an average annual increase of 9. 1%. Judging from the consumption of main food, the proportion of staple food is decreasing year by year, while the proportion of non-staple food is increasing. In addition, with the accelerated pace of life in modern society, people's concept of time is increasing, and people's consumption concept is also changing, and the time for three meals a day is further reduced. All kinds of finished products, semi-finished products, quick-frozen food and fast food are favored by consumers, and the proportion of eating out in food expenditure has increased significantly.
During the Tenth Five-Year Plan period, the catering industry in our banner maintained a strong growth momentum. Catering enterprises adapt to the development of the situation, change their management methods, adapt to the changes in residents' consumption, and make a big fuss about tourism catering, leisure catering and festive wedding banquets, enriching the catering market. It can be said that the catering industry has become one of the most dynamic industries in our banner, and its prosperity reflects the growth of the living standards of urban and rural residents in our banner.
Now, for most urban and rural residents, it is not a question of eating enough, but a question of how to eat well and eat healthily. Indeed, when it comes to eating now, people say "Did you eat", not "Did you eat there". Eating well and having a good time are what people are pursuing at present.
Residents have their own homes and live comfortably.
During the tenth five-year plan period, living conditions have been greatly improved. With the comprehensive promotion of housing reform, housing monetization has been fully implemented. The field of housing use and housing style have made a qualitative leap. The housing in our banner can be described as home ownership, which makes people happier, more satisfied and more comfortable. Especially in Xinhui town, while people complain that the housing prices are too high, the enthusiasm for viewing and buying houses is increasing, and some new properties with moderate prices are often welcomed. Various residential quarters have mushroomed, with endless styles, luxury and warmth. Living in their room is like paradise on earth. In 2005, the per capita housing area of urban residents was 2 1.3 square meters.
Nowadays, residents attach great importance to the elegance and comfort of the living environment, and the decoration and beautification of the living room has become another hot spot of family consumption. Residents' homes, decorations, facilities and decorations all have a style, which is very popular every year. At present, most families, especially working-class families, have more and more choices of housing space. Many rural people who get rich first and self-employed people also focus on urban life, buy houses and build houses in cities, enjoy the same "treatment" as urban people, improve their quality of life, and strive to meet their needs in education, culture, medical care, fitness and travel.
Ok, there is a car at home.
"Forever, Flying Pigeon, Phoenix" bicycles, which were famous in those years, used to be big items that parents bought for their families with their hard-earned money, and they were also the best means of transportation for people to walk instead of walking. Today, five years later, with the development of urban public transport and the annual renewal of vehicles, bicycles have become a dusty memory of some residents. If bicycles have been transformed into life roles in modern society, then private cars and city buses have really begun to undertake new missions. Now walking in the street, when buses come and go, when buses, taxis and all kinds of private cars come into our sight, every citizen will marvel at the speed of "walking" of the Aohan people in the past five years.
During the Tenth Five-Year Plan period, all kinds of cars began to flow into the families of Xinhui Town. Nowadays, buying a car has become a new fashion for some families. As a new consumption form, buying a car is the fundamental way to change the past. With the improvement of people's living standard and the change of consumption concept, motorcycles and electric bicycles are increasingly favored by the majority of residents. Coupled with the downward adjustment of the prices of these cars, more and more families are rushing to buy cars to solve the "difficulty in traveling". At the same time, cars have gradually become the mainstream of car buyers.
With the steady growth of GDP per capita in the whole flag, the disposable income of urban residents is increasing, while the price of cars is decreasing year by year. This opposite trend shows that the potential consumption demand of cars is still expanding, and cars are not far from many families in our flag. According to the survey of 100 households by the statistics department, there are currently 4 cars, 42 motorcycles and 248 bicycles for every 100 households in Xinhui Town. In 2005, the per capita traffic and communication consumption of residents was 5 15 yuan, an increase of 107.7% compared with 2000, with an average annual increase of 15.7%.
With the changes in food, clothing, housing and transportation, other consumption has also undergone tremendous changes. For example, household equipment and supplies have entered a period of stable consumption. Household appliances are basically popular, and household durable consumer goods such as washing machines and refrigerators are basically saturated during the Tenth Five-Year Plan period. People are no longer satisfied with the household appliances they have now, and begin to aim at high-end household appliances. At the end of the Tenth Five-Year Plan, the expenditure on household appliances tends to slow down. However, most household equipment products entering the upgrading stage are developing in the direction of fashion, multifunction and energy saving. At the end of 2005, 100 households owned 86 washing machines; Hundreds of families have 94 refrigerators and freezers. In 2005, urban residents spent 235 yuan per capita on household equipment, supplies and services, an increase of 32.8% over 2000. Average annual growth of 5.8%; The importance of medical care has increased, and medical consumption has increased rapidly. With the improvement of living standards, people pay more and more attention to health. Health care not only pays attention to getting sick and seeking medical treatment, but also pays attention to physical exercise and increasing the consumption of nourishing health products to improve physical and mental health and enhance resistance. In 2005, the per capita medical care expenditure of urban residents in 620 yuan increased by 65,438 0.5 times compared with 2000, with an average annual increase of 20.0%. The expenditure index of cultural and entertainment services has been continuously improved. Cultural and entertainment products represented by color TV sets and DVD players tend to be saturated. Due to the competition of merchants, the prices of various cultural and entertainment products have dropped, and the cultural and entertainment products owned by residents have increased, but the consumption expenditure has decreased. The survey shows that in 2005, the per capita expenditure on education, culture and entertainment services was 668 yuan, an average annual increase of 0.8% compared with 2000. By the end of 2005, every 100 households in urban areas had 65,438+02 home computers (networked), which was six times that of 2000. Every 100 households have 98 color TV sets.
