What is the significance of the integration of pensions?

The old-age insurance reform that broke the "dual track system" finally got the exact news. On behalf of the State Council, Ma Kai, Vice Premier of the State Council, made a report to the National People's Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) on promoting the construction of urban and rural social security system on 23rd. According to the report, the reform plan for unifying government agencies, institutions and urban workers' endowment insurance system has been reviewed and approved by the the State Council executive meeting and The Politburo Standing Committee (PSC).

This means that the 20-year-old pension system barrier is about to break through, and the long-awaited pension integration is about to become a reality. It is reported that the basic idea of pension reform is unity and five synchronizations. It can be said that there is no need for discussion, and there are no exceptions, which reduces the interference of human factors and tries to resolve the contradiction of the "dual track system" from the institutional mechanism, so that the reform can go well and go far.

I think it has become the * * * knowledge of China people to merge as soon as possible, but this * * * knowledge is not only out of fairness, but also has many far-reaching significance.

First, it can promote the reform of income distribution. The main content of income distribution reform is "lowering, controlling and expanding". It is conceivable that "controlling height" from the beginning, because it is "subtraction", interest groups are bound to be constrained, which is not easy. And "health" means "addition", which is a matter of responding to all calls, as long as there are policies. The integration of pensions will be the same as that of enterprises in the past. Therefore, the merger characterized by "lowering" is a great impetus to the reform of income distribution.

Second, it can promote industrial development. Because of the high pension, abnormal civil servants are hot, and even make jokes that they would rather sweep the floor than engage in technology. There are also a large number of rich second generations who do not follow the footsteps of their parents and drive luxury cars to be civil servants. With the merger, more outstanding talents can see that they can make great achievements now and have more dignity in the future by running enterprises and engaging in technology. In this way, China's industrial development is not empty talk.

Third, it can effectively promote domestic demand. The merger does not necessarily reduce the pension of civil servants, but narrows the distance between enterprises and civil servants, which can make the income of enterprise retirees, who account for the majority of urban retirees, have a stable expectation and release the purchasing power that has been suppressed for many years. At a time when China's external demand is weak and investment is slowing down, this part of domestic demand is also precious.

Fourth, it can effectively solve the problem of pension deficit. Under the "dual-track system", it is inevitable that the pension will not be paid. The data shows that if serving civil servants pay fees, they can at least support the current retirees and achieve self-sufficiency. Therefore, the integration of pensions is one of the most direct and effective channels to solve the problem of providing for the aged.

Fifth, we can reshape the image of the government. The "dual-track system" of old-age insurance for many years, and the phenomena such as "dual-track system of medical insurance" and "dual-track system of funeral and interment" derived from it have become "elements" that affect the image of the government. The merger as soon as possible can also enhance public trust in the government.

In short, the integration of pensions has brought a lot of positive energy for building a harmonious society, benefiting the national economy and people's livelihood and ensuring the long-term stability of the country.
