How to determine a country's social security level?

Generally speaking, the level of social security refers to the level of social security enjoyed by members of a country or region in a certain period of time, which represents the level and level of protection provided by a country for its citizens. The level of social security is the key factor of social security system, which directly reflects the relationship between supply and demand of social security funds and indirectly reflects the operation of social security system.

Professor Mu Huaizhong believes that the level of social security is relative to the degree of national economic development, so it belongs to a relative category. The level of social security is the key element of social security and an index reflecting the degree of social security. Under the same conditions, the higher the level of social security, the higher the level of people's living security.

Professor Mu Huaizhong divides the level of social security into total social security expenditure level and sub-item social security expenditure level. On this basis, Professor Liu Jun further deepened the level of social security into three aspects: first, the level of social security contributions; The second is the level of social security payment; The third is the payment level of social security projects. Whether it is social security payment level, social security payment level or social security payment level, it reflects the ability of social security to provide protection for citizens from different aspects.

The level of social security contributions refers to the ability of enterprises and employees to pay social insurance contributions; The level of social security payment refers to the overall level of security benefits provided by the state to members of society, which is usually measured by the proportion of funds paid by social security to GDP; The payment level of social security projects refers to the average amount of funds paid by each social security project to each security group, that is, the average payment level of social security or the proportion of funds paid by each social security project to GDP.
