Study On The Anthropologic Value Evaluation Of China Social Security And Research On Practical Measures

The subsistence and development of human is not only a historic problem for allhuman society stages, but also an unavoidable realistic problem for all individual socialmembers. The basic value of social system and policy is to achieve the subsistence anddevelopment of human. The human nature as well its achievement determines the basicdimensions of social policy target. The social system and policy could only gainsustainability and philosophic foundation when they meet the human essential value andhelp the human development. Nation and society use the social security as a mean toredistribute the national income to help those temporarily or permanently lost their livingability and insure their basic living needs. The essence of social security is “for humanity”.Although it could also maintain social stability, ensure social equity and promoteeconomic development, a deeper interpretation of the basic value suggests that its eternaltarget is subsistence and development of human. The emergence as well as the history ofsocial security shows that in undeveloped human society, the main task of social securityis to ensure the basic living need of individuals and maintain their existence. This is therealistic foundation and initial function of social security as well as the main content andtypical characteristic of conventional social security system. The modern social securitysystem pay more attentions to human care. It is based on the independence, freedom anddignity of social members. It also combines modern society development rationality. Toguarantee human development has become its main task and value pursuit.Social security and human development has homogeneity of some degree. To explorea social security pattern suitable for human development and define on which aspect thesocial security promote the human development is the central topic of this thesis. Humandevelopment has its own formulation and is the generation and realization of humannature. To promote human development is to establish the dominant role of human andfully realize human nature. The richness of human nature determines the diversity ofsocial security’s nature. Aiming the subsistence and development, the essence of socialsecurity is to recover and rebuild the viability of the challenged, enrich and expand thecapacity of social members, and enable them become free individuals throughself-development. This is the main embodiment of modern positive social security. In real life, constraints upon human development are very complicated. Theincomplete political system, retarded economy, social harmony, various ideology couldaffect human to different extents. Nowadays in china, these constraints could becategorized into two groups, in-system constraints and out-system constraints. The level ofproductivity of primary stage of Socialism, aging population, irrational consumptionstructure, and unemployment is all out-system constraints. The level of productivity is thedominant one. One of the most important in-system constraints is urban and ruralhousehold registration system and resulting inequality among social members. This notonly impedes the freedom of movement, hence deprives of individual rights to choose anddevelop, but also causes the imbalanced resource distribution between urban and rural,hence undermines social equity. China’s social security system began in the1980s and1990s, as one term in state-owned enterprise reform package and an important pillar of thesocialist market economy. Social security has played a positive role in downsizing thestate-owned enterprises and healthy development of market economy. It is also meaningfulfor insurance and improvement of urban residents’ lives. However, in the reform anddevelopment, the social security system has gradually exposed a series of drawbacks. Themost prominent conflicts lie in the following three aspects. First, the design of socialsecurity has diverged. The main function of social security is to ensure the basic living andpromote the individual development. But the social security reformation is oriented toserve the state-owned enterprises reform and economic development. The final result isthe relative improvement of urban and retarded of rural areas. Land and family is still themain means of rural social security. Many who need social assistance in rural populationare excluded from the country’s social security plan. Secondly, the social security lacks ofportability. Due to local differences among places, along with the existing householdregistration system limitations, the current social security is not transferable. Socialsecurity without transferability impeding people’s freedom of movement is not positive forindividual equality and freedom of choice. Thirdly, social security coverage is not enough.Due to the impact of economy and design of system, social security in china has notcovered widely enough. Social security for peasants, migrant workers, and recurrentpopulation are the most prominent problems. Flaws in other field of social security couldfind causes in the three aspects mentioned above. The social security, as the services for The subsistence and development of human, has not been fully exploited due to the abovereasons.In the background of rapid economic development and harmonious society, thehuman development has been put on the historical agenda. The design of social securitysystem must complete the rational regression “for humanity”. It treats the survival anddevelopment of the social members as its central task and the core objective. The socialsecurity of contemporary China promotes the human development, helps social memberssocialize and modernize, and gives social members the ability, quality and spirit requiredfor a modern society, therefore becoming a comprehensive modern man. Therefore, wemust build and improve the basic social assistance and insurance system, which is suitablefor social member development. Meanwhile, we shall reform the existing householdregistration system and boost the portability of social security to guarantee the socialmember movement rights, hence achieve individual development. Only social securityleading to the social members’ development can find its own reasonability as well asrational foundation.
