Why should we establish and improve the social security system?

First of all, social security is the foundation of people's livelihood. Through the establishment and improvement of the social security system, it is a concrete embodiment of comprehensively implementing the fundamental purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly and the most realistic, caring and direct interests of the people to enable the broad masses of social members to have a sense of security, medical care and compensation for their losses.

Secondly, accelerating the establishment and improvement of the social security system is the need to further promote reform and opening up and improve the market economic system. The social security system is an important part of China's socialist market economic system. It is the "safety net" and "stabilizer" for the government to make up for the defects of market mechanism, maintain social stability and promote economic development under the condition of market economy; It is an important means to adjust economic structure, change economic development mode and strengthen national macro-control; It is an important measure to achieve the unity of encouraging competition, pursuing efficiency and maintaining social equity.

At present and in the future, to improve the social security system, we should focus on the following three aspects:

First, clear the basic principles of improving the social security system. "Wide coverage, basic protection, multi-level and sustainable" is a summary of the practical experience of China's social security work and a basic policy to further improve the social security system. Perfecting the social security system is a huge livelihood project, which cannot be accomplished overnight and needs long-term unremitting efforts.

Second, further deepen the reform of the social security system. We will continue to improve the urban basic old-age insurance system, gradually establish individual accounts, and speed up the coverage of all kinds of urban workers, including migrant workers. The new rural social endowment insurance should pay attention to summing up experience in practice, perfecting the system, and strive to accelerate the expansion of coverage. Reform the pension system of government agencies and institutions. Vigorously develop enterprise annuities and occupational annuities. We will improve the minimum living security system for urban and rural residents, so as to ensure that everything is guaranteed and steadily raise the security standard. Accelerate system integration and gradually realize the unification of the basic social security system and the connection between urban and rural areas. It is necessary to speed up the establishment of a unified national social security socialized service system and realize the trans-regional transfer and connection of social security relations.

Third, increase investment in social security. It is necessary to speed up the improvement of the public finance system and steadily increase the proportion of fiscal and social security expenditure in the national fiscal expenditure. Financial and social security investment should focus on farmers with special difficulties, migrant workers, landless farmers, urban unemployed people and urban and rural disabled people. It is necessary to accelerate the expansion of social security coverage, strengthen fund collection, increase payment income, and strengthen fund supervision.

To sum up, social security is the foundation of people's livelihood, and establishing and perfecting the social security system is a systematic project that benefits the present and the future. In the process of implementation, some problems may arise. However, only if we really do a good job in this matter and let millions of people eat well and sleep well, this is the greatest achievement of our party and government!
