Livelihood issues, including social security and affordable housing remain Chinese people's top concerns, say online polls before this year's full sessions of the country's top legislature and political advisory body in March.

Among the 25 listed topics, "affordable housing" had received the most votes as of February 12 in a survey on Xinhua News Agency's website.

The topic earned some 5.92 percent of the 362,126 votes cast and was followed by concerns about inflation, employment and income.

In their postings, netizens express hope the government could increase the supplies of affordable homes for low-income earners and tighten measures to rein in property prices.
