A Multi-Tiered Social Security System
Social security provides a safety net for the people and a buffer against risk. It is vital to the wellbeing of the people and the long-term stability of our country.
The report to the 19th CPC National Congress called for measures to help those most in need, to build a strong safety net, and to create necessary mechanisms to implement a sustainable multi-tiered social security system, one that covers the entire population, addresses urban and rural issues in an integrated manner, clearly defines rights and responsibilities of beneficiaries and all other actors involved, and provides adequate levels of protection.
To this end, China will implement a universal health insurance plan, improve the basic pension schemes for urban employees and for rural and urban residents, and take speedy action to incorporate all pension schemes into a unified national framework. Improvement is also called for of the unified systems of basic medical insurance and critical illness insurance for rural and urban residents, as well as unemployment and work-related injury insurance. A unified national platform for social security public services will be established. An integrated system is necessary to provide social assistance in both urban and rural areas, and the basic needs of the people must be satisfied. In addition, we will improve our social welfare system, encourage charitable giving, and ensure that army veterans and their family members receive special benefits and services.
