The core of modern social security system is to provide social insurance for workers. The first capitalist country to establish a social insurance system was Germany.

The Law on Social Insurance for Sickness, Industrial Accidents, Old Age and Disability promulgated by Germany marks the establishment of the first and most complete insurance system and the emergence of the social security system in the world. 1935, the United States congress passed the comprehensive social security law, and the word "social security" came into being, marking the formation of modern social security system.

At present, more than 60 countries and regions around the world have implemented the social security system. Establishing and perfecting a social security system that is compatible with the level of economic development is an inevitable requirement for coordinated economic and social development and an important guarantee for social stability and long-term stability of the country.

After the founding of New China, on February 26th, 195 1, the State Council officially promulgated the National Unified Labor Insurance Regulations of People's Republic of China (PRC), which is applicable to state-owned, public-private partnerships, private enterprises and cooperatives, specifically stipulating the ways for employees to get necessary material help in case of illness, disability, death, childbirth and old age, and also stipulating that the immediate family members supported by employees can enjoy certain insurance benefits.

At the beginning, the regulations were only implemented in some enterprises. On June 2nd, 1953+65438, the State Council revised the Labor Insurance Regulations, which expanded the scope of implementation and raised some treatment standards. During the period of 1956, 94% employees of state-owned, public-private partnerships and private enterprises in China had labor insurance or signed contracts with social labor insurance.

Subsequent amendments were based on the Labor Insurance Regulations. According to the labor insurance regulations, large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises have organized welfare undertakings for employees, that is, employee welfare. Employee benefits include collective welfare facilities, employee housing, welfare subsidies, cultural and sports facilities, etc.

There are several main sources of employee welfare funds: unproductive investment in infrastructure investment provided by the state; Employee welfare fund drawn from 2.5% of the total wages of enterprise employees; Part of the union funds; Employee welfare expenses in the management fee of the unit enterprise; Income from the activities of welfare facilities themselves.

After the enterprise's capital construction investment is completed, the operation and management of welfare facilities and welfare subsidies all need the enterprise's expenditure and are owned by the enterprise, which will eventually form a situation in which the enterprise runs the society.
