The policy of linking social security with wages in China began with the Interim Measures for the Collection and Payment of Social Insurance Fees, which was implemented in 2006. The policy stipulates that the base of social insurance contributions should be linked to individual wage income. This practice aims to ensure that social security contributions are more fair and reasonable, and match the personal income level. The base of social security payment is usually determined according to a certain proportion of individual wage income, which not only reflects the individual's ability to pay, but also takes into account the overall needs of social security level. With the gradual improvement of the social security system, various regions have gradually refined and adjusted the specific linkage mechanism and proportion according to the level of economic development and social security needs.

Linking social security with wages is an important symbol of the gradual improvement of social security system. The implementation of this policy makes the social security payment closer to the income level and promotes the fairness and sustainability of the social security system. With the development of economy and the change of society, the adjustment of social security payment base and proportion has become an important factor affecting residents' income and living standards. At the same time, it also requires the government to fully consider multiple factors such as the level of economic and social development, the income distribution of residents, and the balance of social security funds when formulating and adjusting policies to ensure the rationality and effectiveness of policies.

To sum up, the policy of linking social security with wages was implemented in 2006, aiming at matching the social security payment base with individual wage income and ensuring fairness and rationality. With the passage of time and social development, this policy has been constantly adjusted and optimized to meet the needs of economic and social development. The change of social security payment policy directly affects personal income and social security benefits, so it is very important for individuals to understand the history and present situation of this policy for planning their own economic and social security matters.
