The reason for the lack of one person in social security approval

What is the reason behind the reduction of social security?

Social security refers to the social security measures provided by the state or enterprises to protect the basic life of citizens or employees. But in recent years, social security in many places has been cut, and many people's social security rights have also been cut. What is the reason behind this phenomenon?

1. The downward pressure on the economy has increased.

China's economy has entered a new normal, and the downward pressure on the economy has gradually increased. In order to cope with this pressure, many local governments have to cut their expenditures financially, and social security has become a victim. Because social security is a long-term and large-scale financial expenditure, in the case of financial difficulties, the protection of citizens' social security rights and interests has to be reduced.

The population is aging.

With the increase of the proportion of the elderly population, the pressure of social insurance is increasing. The demand of the elderly population for medical security and old-age security is growing, and the burden of social security is getting heavier and heavier. In order to cope with this situation, the government can only reduce the level of social security and increase social security contributions to cope with the increase in social insurance pressure, which leads to the phenomenon of social security being cut.

The gap between urban and rural areas has widened.

Under the current unbalanced development between urban and rural areas, there is a gap in social security benefits between urban residents and rural residents. The social security level of urban residents is high, while the social security benefits of rural residents are low. This difference in social security treatment between urban and rural residents has aggravated the gap between the rich and the poor in urban and rural areas and led to an increase in social instability. In order to narrow the gap between urban and rural areas, the government has to cut the social security of urban residents in order to distribute resources more evenly to the people of the whole country.
