随着国有企业的改革深入和各项改革措施的逐步到位，相当一部分职工下岗失业，失去了生活费用的来源，直接影响着职工及他们家庭的基本生活。出现了一批新的贫困职工，其人数和程度均呈不断增长的趋势。江泽民同志指出：在企业改革和结构调整过程中，要高度重视和解决好困难职? With the deepening of the reform of state-owned enterprises and the gradual implementation of various reform measures, a considerable number of employees are laid off and unemployed, and the sources of living expenses are lost, which directly affects the basic lives of employees and their families. A number of new poor workers have emerged, and their number and extent are on the rise. Comrade Jiang Zemin pointed out: In the process of enterprise reform and structural adjustment, we must attach great importance to and solve difficult jobs.
