How to promote the construction of urban and rural social security system as a whole

First, adhere to the people-oriented principle and regard social security as an important livelihood project. The CPC Central Committee, the State Council and Party committees and governments at all levels regard accelerating the construction of social security system as an important measure to safeguard and improve people's livelihood, and put it in a prominent position in the overall economic and social development. Public expenditure is more inclined to the field of social security to promote people to share the fruits of economic and social development.

Second, proceed from China's basic national conditions and adapt to the level of economic development. Based on the basic national conditions, fully consider the affordability of all parties, follow the principle of doing our best and doing what we can, and formulate relevant policies and treatment standards according to the characteristics of urban-rural and regional imbalance and the actual situation of different groups of people.

Third, keep pace with the times, reform and innovate. According to the new situation of urbanization and overall planning of urban and rural development, while improving the urban social security system, we will vigorously promote the construction of rural social security system, strengthen the construction of social security legal system, realize the effective connection between urban and rural social security systems, continuously improve the overall planning level and economic affordability of social insurance, and multiply the number of people covered by social security.

Fourth, adhere to the combination of fairness and efficiency, and rights and obligations correspond. Adhere to the contributory social insurance system as the main body, supplemented by non-contributory welfare projects, establish an incentive and restraint mechanism linking the level of social insurance benefits with payment, and guide and encourage workers to actively seek jobs, earn more for more work, pay early, pay more, pay continuously and pay for a long time.

Fifth, we should correctly handle the relationship between reform, development and stability. Pay attention to maintaining the continuity of policies, adhere to the overall planning of urban and rural areas, overall design, step-by-step implementation and supporting promotion, adhere to the pilot first, sum up experience in time, gradually promote reforms from point to point, and fully consider the needs of promoting career development and maintaining social stability.

The role of social security system

First, maintain stability.

It goes without saying that a perfect social security system is a "stabilizer" to reduce social unrest. Establishing a social security system covering urban and rural residents is an urgent need to reduce the survival risk of urban and rural residents and promote social stability. At present, urban and rural residents in China are facing various survival risks, such as unemployment risk, disease risk and old-age security risk. And this risk is particularly prominent in rural areas.

This is because in the process of industrialization and urbanization in China, a large number of agricultural land has been transformed into urban land and construction land, followed by a large number of farmers who have lost their land. Farmers lose their land or part of it, and their income cannot be guaranteed. In addition, the medical conditions in rural areas are inherently poor, and the problem of farmers lacking medical care and medicine is still very prominent in quite a few places. The low-income population can barely solve the problem of food and clothing.

These people's ability to resist the above risks is very fragile and they are always on the verge of absolute poverty. If these problems cannot be properly solved in time, it will inevitably affect social stability. The number of farmers who are poor due to illness and return to poverty due to illness is also increasing. Therefore, perfecting the social security system covering urban and rural areas is an urgent need to maintain social stability.

Second, promote fairness.

"the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China's Decision on Several Major Issues in Building a Harmonious Socialist Society" points out: "Social fairness and justice are the basic conditions of social harmony, and the system is the fundamental guarantee of social fairness and justice." A perfect social security system is a very effective "regulator" to realize social equity.

From the nature of the social security system itself, it should be a universal social system covering urban and rural residents, that is, both urban and rural residents should be protected. Therefore, a perfect social security system covering urban and rural areas can ensure that every member of society enjoys equal national treatment and can obtain the most basic rights of survival and development;

On the other hand, social security helps low-and middle-income residents in urban and rural areas by raising funds based on daily necessities, provides protection when they are old, sick and unemployed, redistributes the uneven income distribution caused by economic activities, narrows the gap between the rich and the poor, promotes social equity, and has the function of regulating income distribution. Only by perfecting the social security system covering urban and rural areas can it give full play to its "regulator" function of realizing social equity.

Third, meet the demand.

Ensuring the basic living and medical needs of urban and rural residents is the foundation and premise of social harmony and the core function of social security. Social security is usually called social safety net or social shock absorber. The purpose of establishing a social security system covering urban and rural residents is to ensure the basic living and medical needs of urban and rural residents in old age, unemployment, illness, work injury and childbirth, so that urban and rural residents with no income, low income and suffering from various sudden disasters can have a source of livelihood, and their basic survival needs can be guaranteed, thus achieving the stability of the whole society.
