Why did the old-age insurance system change from a dual-track system to a single-track system?

"The basic old-age insurance for enterprise employees is coordinated at the provincial level, and the basic pension is coordinated nationwide." Vice Minister Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security said. The "dual track system" of social security reform will eventually merge and unify. The dual-track system of social security such as pension and medical care has long been criticized by the society. Take the pension as an example. Although it is not completely accurate, it also reflects that this gap does exist. According to the report of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, "adhere to the principles of full coverage, basic protection, multi-level and sustainability, and focus on enhancing fairness, adapting to mobility and ensuring sustainability, and comprehensively build a social security system covering urban and rural residents". Vice Minister Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security introduced that taking the old-age insurance system as an example, in February 2008, the the State Council executive meeting discussed and approved in principle the Pilot Program for the Reform of the Old-age Insurance System for Staff in Public Institutions, and decided to carry out pilot projects in five provinces and cities of Shaanxi, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Guangdong and Chongqing in advance to support the classified reform of public institutions. The Twelfth Five-Year Plan for Social Security puts forward that "on the basis of pilot projects, we will actively and steadily promote the reform of the endowment insurance system in government agencies and institutions". Whether it is for the aged or medical care, the reform of social insurance system in many institutions, including institutions, is progressing steadily, and their employees have gradually participated in various social insurances like enterprise employees. With the improvement of social security standards and the continuous advancement of reform, the "dual track system" will eventually merge and unify. "In the next step, we will reform and improve the social insurance system of enterprises, institutions and institutions, and simultaneously promote the reform of the social insurance system of institutions and institutions on the basis of promoting the classification reform of institutions." Vice Minister Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security said, "Realize the effective connection of various social insurance systems in enterprises and institutions and realize the smooth transition between the old and new systems." According to Vice Minister Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, since 2005, the state has substantially adjusted the basic pension level of enterprise retirees for eight consecutive years. After the adjustment of 20 12, the monthly per capita pension of enterprise retirees reached 172 1 yuan, and the overall treatment level of enterprise retirees was more than double that before the adjustment in 2005. Although the treatment has been improved year after year, the pension adjustment mechanism has not yet been established. On the one hand, the increase is difficult to grasp, on the other hand, it makes people feel "uneasy" every year. Therefore, from the long-term development trend, it is imperative to establish a normal adjustment mechanism for the basic pension of enterprise retirees. "The next step is to establish and improve the normal adjustment mechanism of basic pensions based on factors such as wage growth of employees, income of residents and price changes." Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, vice minister, said, "At the same time, we should formulate and improve the connection between the old-age insurance system for urban workers and the old-age insurance system for urban and rural residents." Provincial overall planning of endowment insurance for employees of endowment insurance "We will continue to promote the sustainable development of endowment insurance system, and continue to promote the implementation of individual accounts on the basis of summing up the experience and practices of 13 pilot provinces." Vice Minister Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security said. "The next step is to fully implement the provincial-level overall planning of the basic old-age insurance for enterprise employees, realize the national overall planning of basic pensions, and improve the management level of the new rural insurance fund." Vice Minister Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security said: "We should broaden the financing channels of social security funds and establish an investment and operation system of social security funds in accordance with the requirements put forward in the report of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, so as to ensure the safety, preservation and appreciation of the funds." Urban and rural medical insurance will coordinate urban and rural areas. At present, the medical insurance covering urban residents and the new rural cooperative medical system in most parts of the country have different deductible lines, reimbursement rates, drug lists and reimbursement capping lines. "In terms of medical insurance, the main task of the next step is to integrate the basic medical insurance system for urban and rural residents and realize the equality of urban and rural residents in the basic medical insurance system and management resources." Vice Minister Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security said, "To this end, we will establish a mechanism for determining social security benefits and a normal adjustment mechanism that takes into account all kinds of personnel, rationally determine the level of social security, and achieve sustained, orderly and reasonable growth of social security benefits linked to economic and social development." Vice Minister Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security emphasized that the proportion of hospitalization expenses for employees' basic medical insurance, urban residents' basic medical insurance and the new rural cooperative medical system should reach about 75% within the policy scope.
