The Role of Social Security System in China

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.

Second, promote fairness.

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 basic medical needs of urban and rural residents in terms of old age, unemployment, illness, work injury and maternity.

Make urban and rural residents with no income, low income and suffering from various sudden disasters have a source of livelihood, guarantee their basic survival needs, and then realize the stability of the whole society.

Fourth, promote development.

A perfect social security system is the "propeller" of economic and social development. By establishing a social security system covering urban and rural areas, especially gradually improving social security benefits and the income level of low-income people, people's consumption expectations and consumption structure can be improved, consumer demand can be stimulated, and economic growth can be stimulated.

Verb (abbreviation for verb) ensures production.

Through the income guarantee and medical service guarantee for urban and rural residents, it provides a material basis for the reproduction of labor force, so that the labor ability of workers can be restored and reproduced.

A perfect social security system not only undertakes the responsibility of saving and preventing poverty, but also guarantees the basic life and basic medical care of social members. At the same time, it also provides urban and rural residents with security projects and public services that are compatible with the level of economic development, so that people can share the fruits of economic and social development, continuously improve the quality of material and cultural life, and ensure the reproduction of labor.

Extended data

By the end of 20 17, the number of people participating in China's old-age insurance exceeded 900 million, of which the number of people receiving old-age insurance exceeded 260 million. The goal of universal medical insurance has basically been achieved, and the participation rate has stabilized at around 97%. More than 654.38 billion people have basic medical insurance. The comprehensive social assistance system with the minimum living security system as the core has benefited nearly 1 100 million people.

Pension services and child care related to children's welfare have developed rapidly, and the welfare of the disabled has been improved with the wide coverage of subsidies for the extremely poor and severely disabled. These have not only greatly improved the welfare level and quality of people's livelihood in China, but also made important contributions to the development of social security in the world.

If China is not included, the social security coverage rate in the world is only 50%, including China, which rises to 6 1%. In 20 16, the International Social Security Association awarded the China Municipal Government the "Outstanding Achievement Award in Social Security", which was highly recognized by the international community for China's social security development achievements.

While making great achievements, we should also see that with China's economic development entering a new era, the main social contradictions have been transformed, and the contradiction between people's growing needs for a better life and unbalanced development is still concrete in the field of social security, and the task of deepening reform is still arduous.

Legal basis:

The Regulations on Minimum Living Security for Urban Residents and the Regulations on Five Guarantees in Rural Areas respectively stipulate the minimum living security for urban residents and the five guarantees in rural areas. In 2020, the Interim Measures for Social Assistance further improved China's social assistance system, including minimum living security, support for destitute people, assistance for victims, medical assistance, education aid, housing assistance, employment assistance and temporary assistance, and further expanded and guaranteed the scope of social assistance for the elderly. Third, social welfare refers to social care and social services for children, the elderly, maternal and child families, the disabled, and chronic mental patients with weak living ability. The content of social welfare is very extensive, including not only welfare benefits such as life, education and medical care, but also welfare benefits such as transportation, entertainment and sports.
