Dongguan: Achieving Full Coverage Of Social Security

Aunt Zhao, who lives in Niushan community of Dongcheng Street in Dongguan, now receives a basic pension of 300 yuan a month.

Such a good thing is that since July 2006, Dongguan has reformed the basic old-age insurance system for farmers.

Previously, Zhao Lao could only receive 100 yuan a month.

"100 yuan a month, for the elderly, you can do a lot of things."

Aunt Zhao said that in the first month, she received 300 yuan, in addition to distributing the allowance as before, but also deliberately bought a new set of clothes to make herself fresh.

Second months later, I bought myself lots of delicious food to share with my family.

Aunt Zhao said that during the more than 20 years, from the countryside to the city, the life of Dongguan people was getting better and better. She never dreamed of her peers, and the government was so concerned about their elderly families that they had to raise the basic pension for them in.

Now, they basically do not need children to support, they can maintain their daily expenses.

She said heartily, "the government is getting better and better for our old people."

In recent years, Dongguan has actively promoted the integration of basic old-age insurance with the basic old-age insurance for employees. The basic pension of the farmers will increase along with the increase of the average wage level of the whole city.

Dongguan city is located in the Pearl River Delta of Guangdong Province, with a population of 1 million 683 thousand in urban and rural areas and about 5000000 in floating population. It is a new industrial city.

In Dongguan, which is at the forefront of reform and opening up, the social security undertakings have also taken the lead in the whole country.

At the end of November 2006, the number of social security insurances in Dongguan exceeded 100 million for the first time, reaching 10 million 753 thousand and 400.

The 7 categories of social insurance have covered all urban units and rural collectives and urban and rural residents.

In Dongguan, all social insurance policies can be enjoyed without distinction between urban and rural residents' household registration status.

Since July 1, 2006, Dongguan has launched a new reform of the basic old-age insurance system for rural residents. The insured farmers in the city have incorporated the workers' endowment insurance into the village (community) units.

After the insurance is incorporated into the job insurance system, the insurance premium is collected monthly according to the social security year, and the insured is incorporated into the employment insurance policy based on the minimum wage standard of the city's employees, the rate setting, the payment period, the retirement age and the way of treatment and so on.

At the same time, the pension benefits of the insured will also be adjusted according to the job security system, with the increase of the average wage level of the whole city every year, so as to ensure the steady improvement of the treatment level of the insured.

After the reform of the agricultural insurance system, the retirement age of the female insured is adjusted from 55 to 50 years old. At the same time, the insured can receive a minimum pension of 300 yuan per person per month, which is 200 yuan higher than before.

"I didn't expect that our farmers could enjoy all kinds of social security benefits as well as the workers in the city," he said.

Aunt Chen, who lives in Qiaotou community of Houjie Town, laughs and says that old people have pensions, they are sick and have medical insurance, and every year the village collectively pays dividends. The days are getting better and better.

At present, social security work in Dongguan has broken the threshold of household registration.

Whether it is the city's household registration or household registration, it also takes part in social security and enjoys social security benefits.

In Dongguan's development strategy of economic and social double pformation, an important content is to promote Dongguan's pformation from local and foreign population segmentation society to local and foreign population fusion society.

With the promotion of industrialization and urbanization in Dongguan, the modernization of rural areas in Dongguan encountered a series of problems.

If the development of non-agricultural construction is fast, the space for agricultural production will be smaller and smaller, and more and more farmers will lose their land.

How to solve the relationship between urban and rural areas as soon as possible and promote the coordinated development of urban and rural areas is very necessary and urgent for Dongguan.

Liu Zhigeng, director of the Dongguan municipal Party committee and the Standing Committee of the Municipal People's Congress, said that after years of development, Dongguan has basically completed the primitive accumulation of rural development, basically realized the well-off life of the peasants, and basically formed the rudiment of the integration of urban and rural areas, which provided a solid material foundation for promoting urban and rural co-ordination.

Over the years, the municipal Party committee and municipal government of Dongguan has vigorously promoted public finance to the rural areas and extended public services to the countryside. The purpose is to promote the integration of urban and rural areas and achieve the integration of urban and rural areas.

Since 2001, Dongguan has launched the basic old-age insurance system for farmers in the country for the first time. It fully protects the basic livelihood of the farmers in the whole city and helps farmers to establish a new concept of social security for the elderly.

In September 2003, the Dongguan municipal government decided to implement the basic medical insurance system for rural residents to replace the original rural cooperative medical system and further improve the level of medical insurance for farmers.

After the introduction of the two social security system, Dongguan has constantly revised and improved it to improve the treatment of the insured.

In addition to incorporating the basic old-age insurance of the residents into the pension insurance for workers, in July of this year, Dongguan once again promoted the reform of the rural medical insurance system, and initially realized the pition from the medical insurance system to the basic medical insurance system for employees.

The active participation of the farmers is the natural support of the government departments.

According to statistics, only to deepen the reform of the basic old-age insurance system for farmers (residents), the two tier Municipal Finance invested 165 million 700 thousand yuan.

In terms of the medical insurance system, the government has invested 167 million yuan in the two level of the city and town streets in the past 3 years, and it is estimated that it will invest 150 million yuan a year in the future.

"Stabilizer" promotes social stability, social security and social security. It is called "social stability" and "safety net".

For a long time, Dongguan has improved the social security mechanism as one of the important practical tasks of the government for the private sector. It has continuously launched new measures to promote Huimin. It has promoted the harmonious construction and social stability of Dongguan at the same time of raising the level of protection for the masses.

In a recent media interview, Liu Zhigeng, director of the Dongguan municipal Party committee and the Standing Committee of the Municipal People's Congress, revealed that the municipal government will study the establishment of a new cooperative medical system in the near future.

In particular, we should continue to expand the coverage of social security, promote the reform of the pension insurance system for workers, explore the establishment of enterprise annuity, actively carry out community out-patient medical care, and constantly improve the social security system in the city, and effectively safeguard the social security rights of the "new Dong people".

Dongguan has already implemented the basic old-age insurance plan for urban and rural areas, and the social security system of urban and rural integration has been basically improved. "Next step, we will further expand the coverage of social insurance and establish a sound social security system that covers the whole society."
