What does it mean to increase the social security base?

Legal analysis: social security base refers to the social insurance payment base of employees in a social security year. The social security payment base generally refers to the salary of the current month, and the social security payment base is 60%-300% of the average social salary. Every province and city in China conducts an annual survey on the average social wage of the whole province and city, and the social security base is determined according to the average social wage. The minimum social security base can not be lower than 60% of the average social wage, and the maximum can not be higher than 300% of the average social wage. However, with the improvement of people's living standards, the average social wage has also increased, so the payment base has also increased, which requires a new increase in the social security base every year.
