China's National People's Congress (NPC), the country's top legislature, said on Tuesday that the Chinese society is generally harmonious, but there are relatively "serious" problems in employment, social security, income distribution, education, medical care, housing, workplace safety and public security.

This year, the top legislature would pay much attention to these problems, according to a work report of the NPC Standing Committee released on Tuesday.

The report said in 2010, the top legislature plans to hear and deliberate the State Council's reports on the reform of medical and health care system, on diverting the rural labor force and ensuring the rights of rural migrant workers, and on improving road traffic safety management.
