The Ministry Of Human Resources Is Reforming The Unemployment Insurance System.

From the Ministry of human resources and social security (hereinafter referred to as "the Ministry of human resources"), the expert group of unemployment insurance research group was informed that a comprehensive reform plan on unemployment insurance system has been submitted to the decision-making level.

The reform plan suggests that in the face of the employment situation under the influence of the financial crisis, a large number of surplus unemployment insurance funds are being used at the right time, and it is suggested to extend the main "guaranteed life" for a long time to stabilize employment and promote re employment.

The plan also suggests that the unemployment protection system should be systematically pformed and expanded, covering the cities and towns that only cover the urban and rural areas to the various enterprises in the urban and rural areas, and the problems of township enterprises and their employees participating in insurance should be solved, and the migrant workers will be formally incorporated into unemployment insurance.

(E) adjust the original authorized local regulations to include the individual economic organizations of cities, private non enterprise units and social organizations and their labourers in the scope of insurance coverage, and adjust them to uniform provisions.

Around the above proposals and proposals, the relevant policies are now in the process of intense deliberation.

Zhang Xiaojian, Vice Minister of the Ministry of human resources, also revealed before that, in supporting enterprises to stabilize their workforce, they are actively studying how to use unemployment insurance to prevent unemployment and promote employment.

An official from the Ministry of personnel protection told a newspaper reporter that the possible policies include expanding the scope of unemployment insurance funds to training subsidies, job subsidies and other fields, and postponing the collection of unemployment insurance premiums for enterprises, combined with the actual reduction of enterprise payment standards.

Asymmetric data is one of employment tension, and the other is a large accumulation of unemployment insurance funds.

This is the status quo of asymmetry.

At the end of 2007, the unemployment insurance fund accumulated a total of 97 billion 900 million yuan. By September 2008, the unemployment insurance fund of the whole country had already increased by 120 billion yuan. "Every province in the country has balance, most of the remaining seven provinces and cities in the East have several billion, and 3 provinces have more than ten billion".

Lv Xuejing, director and director of the Department of labor and social security, Capital University of Economics and Business, told reporters.

She participated in the Ministry of human security.

According to the latest statistics, only about 10000000000 of Guangdong's unemployment insurance fund accounts for 8 billion 500 million yuan, while its annual expenditure is only 3 to 500 million yuan in Guangzhou.

The reason for the balance is not local "default".

Lv Xuejing said that when the unemployment insurance system was introduced at the end of the 90s, it was mainly based on the special background of large scale workers' laid-off and unemployed. At that time, the functional orientation was mainly to protect basic life, and made strict restrictions on promoting employment. Only two subsidies, vocational training and job introduction, were very limited in promoting employment capital expenditure.

"It's not that we don't want to use it, but that the official red tape has not come down yet."

A head of the Ministry of labor and social security of a local government said.

On the one hand, there is a large balance of funds and one side is the low level and level of unemployment protection.

By the end of 2007, the number of urban employment was 293 million 500 thousand, while the number of unemployed insurance recipients was only 116 million 450 thousand, less than half of that of urban employment.

This is a set of data that Lv Xuejing told our reporter.

"Because China's unemployment rate does not include a large number of migrant workers and unemployed youth in urban areas, the scope of unemployment insurance benefits is limited."

Lu explained.

From a horizontal perspective, the current unemployment insurance premium is usually between 60%-80% of the minimum wage. "The wage level is low, and this level of protection can not better protect the living needs of the unemployed themselves and their family members".

How to solve the policy recommendations need countermeasures.

At present, the national average unemployment insurance premium is 387 yuan / month, less than 40% of the national per capita disposable income of urban residents.

Lv Xuejing's proposal is to raise the level of unemployment security as soon as possible, change the way that unemployment insurance benefits are linked to the minimum wage standard, and determine the proportion of unemployed workers' pre wages, and appropriately control the highest and minimum standards.

In terms of unemployment insurance to promote employment, in addition to the unemployment benefits for the unemployed themselves, wage subsidies and training subsidies should also be introduced to enterprises.

The former is used for enterprises that have reached a certain time limit for payment of insurance premiums. In the light of their production and business slump, they can share jobs and do not lay off workers by shortening working hours and lowering wages. They shall be granted wage subsidies for a period of up to 6 months.

The latter is used to encourage enterprises to fulfill their obligations of participating in insurance payment for a long time. When the enterprises are undergoing internal structural adjustment, they will not push workers to the society, organize staff training and give training subsidies.

For example, according to the 50% of a certain time average wage of unemployed people before unemployment, the standard of unemployment insurance is determined, not less than 70% of the minimum wage standard, not higher than 150%, and differential treatment is implemented.

Lu said.

On the basis of these suggestions, the research group of the Ministry of human security has also made a systematic reform of the unemployment insurance system.

In terms of coverage, unemployment insurance covers only urban enterprises to all kinds of enterprises in the urban and rural areas, and focuses on solving the problem of township enterprises and their employees' participation in insurance.

It is necessary to adjust the original place of authorization to the urban individual economic organizations, private non enterprise units and social organizations and their labourers into the scope of insurance coverage, and adjust them to uniform provisions.

The research group also suggests improving the policy of migrant workers' treatment. Migrant workers can pay unemployment insurance premiums in accordance with the policy of urban workers' insurance payment.

If he is eligible for unemployment, he or she will enjoy a unified treatment with the urban employees according to the regulations, or if the employer pays the bill, the individual does not pay the fee, and the fee will be paid for 1 years and terminate or terminate the labor contract, he will receive a one-off living allowance. The standards and methods shall be determined by the provincial government.

"If unemployed people choose to start a business, they can make a one-time payment of the unemployment insurance money he has not received so that they can have more capital to start their business."

Lu said.

For the management of unemployment insurance funds, the research group recommends that the current unified national basic rate should be changed, and the differential rates should be implemented in different areas. In terms of procedures, it is estimated by the CO ordinating areas that the reasons for applying the relevant rates will be explained and submitted to the relevant departments at the provincial level for approval.

This will solve the problem of imbalance of provincial fund balances and avoid a large surplus of funds in some economically developed areas.

In view of the lack of emergency response mechanism in the current unemployment insurance policy, the establishment of an emergency mechanism has also been put on the agenda. When a national or regional major event occurs, resulting in an increase in employment pressure and a significant increase in the number of unemployed persons, the extension of the unemployment insurance period is temporarily extended and the treatment standard is raised.

Taking into account the economic losses of employers, the unemployment insurance premium or unemployment insurance premium can also be reduced within a certain period of time.

For example, for small and medium-sized enterprises now in trouble, they can authorize local governments to implement measures to reduce unemployment insurance rates, and suggest reducing half of the rates, that is, enterprises pay 1%, and individuals pay 0.5%.

Reform will accelerate or new changes will accelerate.

An official of the unemployment insurance division of the Ministry of personnel protection briefed reporters in mid November that the Ministry of human resources is currently preparing for the adjustment of unemployment insurance policies, including the suspension of unemployment insurance premiums for troubled enterprises, providing job pfer and job pfer training subsidies for workers facing unemployment risk, and encouraging enterprises to reduce production to replace job layoffs by replacing job rotation with wage subsidies or job subsidies provided by social insurance funds.

Yin Yumin, Minister of the Ministry of human resources and social security in early December, also indicated to the outside world that the Ministry had already set up a survey and statistics system for migrant workers with relevant departments.

The local government has "heard the wind".

In December 6th, Cui Renquan, director of the Guangzhou Municipal Bureau of labor and social security, revealed that Guangzhou will substantially reduce unemployment insurance contributions from January 1st next year, so as to reduce the burden of enterprises, especially labor-intensive enterprises.

Jiangxi province has just introduced the new deal, which stipulates that the migrant workers in the provinces where they return to the province are eligible for unemployment insurance, and they can receive unemployment insurance gold at a time. For the non unemployment insurance, the time for the payment of unemployment insurance premiums can be combined with the later payment time.

At the same time, migrant workers who have lost their jobs and returned to work for more than half a year who have been employed steadily for more than half a year will be included in the unemployment registration. Eligible migrant workers will be able to issue a one-time living subsidy in accordance with the standards of the construction site through unemployment insurance funds.
