新时代推进社会公平正义的法治要义

Essentials of the Rule of Law That Promotes Social Fairness and Justice in a New Era

"社会公平正义"是党的十九大报告中的高频词汇,社会公平正义思想是新时代中国特色社会主义思想的有机组成部分。社会公平正义是人民美好生活的基本需要,决定着人民生活的获得感、幸福感、安全感。民生问题是衡量社会公平正义的标尺,在初始条件上,要保障每一个公民都有提高生活质量、追求美好生活的机会与条件;在补足条件上,国家应积极投入,为公民获取机会和增长能力提供条件;在分配正义层面,要通过国家法律、政策的推行,为社会公平正义的实现提供制度保障。十九大报告就竞争公平、教育公平、司法公正等重点问题进行了阐述,明确了当代中国在推进社会公平正义方面的主要制度着力点。当然,实现社会公平正义并非一蹴可就的事业,要以"尽力而为、量力而行"作为推进社会公平正义的基本步骤。
