When did the social security reform begin?

1984, China began to explore the reform of the original pension system, and in 1987, it established the basic pension insurance system (hereinafter referred to as the unified account pension insurance system).

The goal of the system is only to provide basic living security for the insured, and the wage replacement rate of pension will be gradually reduced from nearly 100% before the reform to about 60%.

In terms of ownership, the system combines social pooling with individual accounts, which embodies the combination of fairness and efficiency.

This system is shared by enterprises and employees.

The basic medical insurance system for urban employees is a social insurance system based on the affordability of finance, enterprises and individuals to ensure the basic medical needs of employees.

All employers, including enterprises (state-owned enterprises, collective enterprises, foreign-invested enterprises and private enterprises, etc. ), organs, institutions, social organizations, private non-enterprise units and their employees must participate in the basic medical insurance. The basic medical insurance fund for urban workers consists of the basic medical insurance social pooling fund and individual accounts. The basic medical insurance premium consists of the employer and the employee's personal account.

The basic medical insurance premium is jointly paid by the employer and individual employees, of which: the employer pays 8% and the individual pays 2%. Part of the medical insurance premium paid by the employer is used to establish a social pooling fund for basic medical insurance, which is mainly used to pay for hospitalization, outpatient service for special chronic diseases, rescue and first aid expenses of insured employees.
