The social security system has the functions of reducing social poverty, shrinking income differences, facilitating economic development and maintaining social stability. It can support the habitant with dwellings and ensure workers with higher knowledge and skills. It thus is the legal foundation of the harmonized development of economy and society.The social security system established after the foundation of our country had greatly encouraged the initiative of workers to construct our socialistic country, promoted the development of state economy and laid the foundation of an independent industrialized system. The social security system established after the reform of economic regime has also exerted important effects in pushing economic development, improving people's living conditions and reducing poverty. However, due to its narrow applicative scope and low level of overall arrangement, and also due to the improper mode of medical insurance, the multiple collection of social security fee, the poor management of funds, the scarce investment of government in the compulsory education, and so on, although our economic construction has achieved great accomplishment, our social development is delayed severely. Thus the population in poverty shows the increasing trend and social problems occur frequently.Experiences from home and abroad have shown that, the soundness of the social security system is not solely determined by the level of economic development, and the social ideas of legislation have also great importance on the construction of social security system. So, the legislative ideas of social justice and social solidarity should go through the construction and perfection of our social security system. |
