The social security system generally includes the following five systems.

1, social insurance

The main items of social insurance include endowment insurance, medical insurance, unemployment insurance, industrial injury insurance and maternity insurance.

2. Social relief

Social relief refers to a system in which the state and society provide material help and assistance to citizens in need to ensure their minimum living standard. The state and society provide material assistance to the poor to ensure that every citizen enjoys the basic right to life.

3. Social welfare

Social welfare refers to the social security system that the state provides all citizens with funds and services aimed at ensuring a certain standard of living and improving the quality of life as much as possible. Social welfare in a broad sense mainly refers to social service undertakings and facilities.

5. Social mutual assistance

Social mutual assistance is an informal institutional arrangement, which is different from social security and social assistance organized by the government.

1, which makes up for the shortage of market economy.

The social security system can provide a good social environment and guarantee conditions for the normal operation of the market economy. Establishing and perfecting the social security system under the condition of market economy and giving consideration to social equity through income redistribution can play a role in maintaining social stability and security and provide guarantee for reform and development.

2. Create equal competition conditions for enterprises.

China's original security system is the enterprise security system. Under this system, all safety expenses are raised and borne by enterprises themselves. The number of people who take risks in each enterprise is more or less, the ratio of retirees to employees is higher or lower, and the degree of risk is greater or smaller, so the burden of safety expenses is extremely light and heavy. In this case, enterprises cannot compete on an equal footing. Establishing and perfecting the social security system can help enterprises to unload their burdens and go into battle lightly, and create conditions for equal competition for enterprises.

3. Relieve the worries of workers.

Workers may be at risk of work-related injuries, diseases and unemployment, and female employees may have children. This will make some employees lose their working ability and jobs, and lose and reduce the source of income for a living. In addition, workers will inevitably move from youth to maturity and eventually lose their ability to work in old age.

If these people's basic life is not guaranteed, they will be difficult to survive, which will definitely affect the stability and development of society. Establish and improve the social security system, so that workers can get material help and protection from society and continue to live normally when they temporarily or permanently lose their ability to work.

4. Promote social harmony.

It is the common aspiration of the people of all ethnic groups in China to build a socialist harmonious society characterized by democracy and the rule of law, fairness and justice, honesty and friendship, vitality, stability and order, and harmony between man and nature. To build a harmonious socialist society objectively requires us to pay more attention to solving the social security problems of the needy and let the broad masses share the fruits of economic growth, social progress and reform and opening up.
