Under the policy directives of the 13th Five-Year Plan, the development of these urban regions has become a driving force in China. China is now stronger, wealthier and better positioned globally, economically and socially.
In China the first Five-Year Plan (1953–57) stressed rapid industrial development, with Soviet assistance; it proved highly successful.
During the 13th Five-Year Plan period, China rolled out a slew of measures to address people's concerns: More than 60 million new urban jobs were created; over 50 million urban residents moved from unsuitable housing to new homes; nearly 30 million elderly people were provided with old-age care subsidies; and in the ...
During the planning period, the highest growth rate was achieved during the 10th five years plan. Five Years Plan: The Indian economy has been focused on the concept of economic planning since 1947.
The First Five Year Plan was a success in terms of industrial production. Coal outputs increased by 98% and the overall annual growth rate for the Chinese economy was 16%.
The plan did not hit its targets because the quotas were unrealistic for such a short period of time, some of these quotas were not met for years to come. There were no goals set for the plan, even if a quota was met, it was increased giving the plan no chance to succeed.
The adoption of economic reforms by China in the late 1970s led to a surge in China's economic growth and helped restore China as a major global economic power.

As a result of the first Five-Year Plan, coal production increased by 84%, oil by 90%, steel by 37%, and electricity by 168%. However, there was a decline of agricultural production. Millions of farmers died in the resulting famine, and hundreds of thousands were imprisoned in labor camps (gulags).
From 1928 to 1940, the number of Soviet workers in industry, construction, and transport grew from 4.6 million to 12.6 million and factory output soared. Stalin's first five-year plan helped make the USSR a leading industrial nation.
The Plan resulted in radical measures that forced farmers to give up their land and their livestock. Many people were reduced to extreme poverty and famine became widespread. Terror, violence, and fear replaced the initial optimism about the Plan.
Thirteenth Plan (2016–2020)
The Thirteenth Five-Year Plan increased China's target for the use of non-fossil fuel energy sources to 15% over the 2016-2020 period. It included planning to address wind energy and solar energy feed-in to the grid and prioritizing dispatch policies for renewable energy.
The plan proposes that by 2020 the total energy consumption should be controlled within 5 billion tons of coal, during the “13th Five-Year Plan” period, total energy consumption grows by more than 2.5% per year and GDP per unit of energy use should fall by 15%.
The 13th Renewable Energy Development Five Year Plan (2016-2020) was adopted by National Energy Administration on 10th of December 2016 establishing targets for renewable energy deployment until 2020.
Of the 28 prosecutions brought forth under the China Initiative, only eight have resulted in convictions or guilty pleas. Only four were professors of Chinese descent and none were convicted for espionage or theft.
This policy note outlines recommendations on the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021–2025) for National Economic and Social Development of the People's Republic of China. They focus on innovation-driven growth, low-carbon development, integration of urban–rural areas with deeper social inclusion, and population aging.
The “14th Five-Year Plan” period is an important period of opportunity for innovation and leading high-quality development; we must accelerate the building of a digital China, forcefully develop the digital economy, promote the upgrading of the industrial base and the modernization of industry chains, promote the ...
'Enemies of the 5-Year Plan' by Viktor Deni 1931, Soviet propaganda targeting landlords, kulaks (wealthy farmers), journalists, capitalists, White Russians (anti-communists), Mensheviks (moderate socialists), priests, and alcoholics.
According to me, the Five-Year plans were not the best way to move the Soviet economy forward. Although the plans were more or less successful in meeting the goals that they set out and increased both industrial and agricultural output, we cannot ignore how they achieved those goals.
Economic activity was pushed in the direction of heavy industries, which lead to a 350 percent increase in output, in a bid to prepare Russia for an industrialised war. The first Five Year Plan also had a revolutionary effect on society, as millions left the farms to pursue new lives in the cities.
In all, there were thirteen Soviet five-year plans. The first ran from the autumn of 1928 to 1933; at that time the accounting year began in October with the end of the harvest. The third plan (1938-1942) was interrupted in mid-1941 by World War II. Five-year planning began again with the fourth (1946-1960).
The first five year plan was created in order to initiate rapid and large-scale industrialization across the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). Having begun on October 1st, 1928, the plan was already in its second year when Harry Byers first set foot in the Soviet Union.
China's economy has grown to one of the largest and most powerful in the world over the past few decades. Driven by industrial production and manufacturing exports, China's GDP is actually now the largest in terms of purchasing power parity (PPP) equivalence.
At the end of last year the bank revisited its calculations. It now thinks China's economy will not overtake America's until 2035 and at its high point will be only 14% bigger (see chart).
