On The Role Of China Government In Social Security

The status and functions of the government in social security is an extremely important issue of Social Security Research. In particular, with the deepening of structural reforms, government's social security intervention and the effective application have drawn increasing attention. As a governmental conduct, the basic objective of social security is to protect social members and the basic needs of lives, to ensure that they do not fall in difficulties due to the occurrence of accidents and demonstrate fairness in our society. The conditions for Social Security implementation is social legislation, and government, enterprises and individuals should take the main responsibility. However, the ultimate responsibility is taken by government. Whether a country's social security system plays its right role, and gets people's full support lies in whether the government assumes the responsibility.The social security "Right" theory emphases on the rights of citizens. The state provides social security system to protect all citizens, and maximize the embodiment of social justice, effectively eases the intensification of social contradictions. The state has the responsibility and obligation to provide protection and services to all citizens.China's current social security system is founded initially accompanying and adapting the planned economy at the Independence early. Its character is "employment-protection". Once employed, workers enjoy their social security rights. This kind of social security system has seriously hindered the enterprise management mechanism, led to low efficiency of employment, stifled the vigor and vitality of the enterprise.Due to the advantages of possessing resources for government, due to powerful government and immature market, there are the problems of "overrunning", "dislocation" and "absence" for government relatively to the market and the social institutions of self-government in China's old-age security system. The reasons are as follows: lacking a corresponding law to restrict the government's role and functions; Civil servants working in government institutions or individuals are rational economic men who seek the max effect of personal goals; They misunderstand overall economic social development as economic growth only; Government agencies lacks incentive mechanism of restraint.After deep analysis of the cause of errors for government in social security, we can see that there are three factors influencing the government's role in Social Security in the development process of the social security system.Firstly, it is the impact of subjects of social security system. Governments as the subjects of social security have limited capacity due to their size. This affects the size of role of government in social security. Meanwhile, a number of government policy objectives of the social security system will affect the scope and intensity of the intervention. The development degree of market and enterprises impacts the degree of government intervention on social security. Non-profit organizations affect the role of government in social security by the demand for social security.Secondly, it is the impact of the social security system. Social security system has gone through the period of the establishment of the system, the period of development and improvement phase three stages. At different stages of development, the role of government and market varies. The initial aim of establishing social security system for any country is solving specific social or economic issues. Once the system is established, there is "path dependence" and self-reinforcing character in the system evolution. During the process of changing in the supply-oriented system, the government is the deciding factor. Even a gradual change in demand, the government supply system is still a major impact variable.Another main factor is it is the impact of socio-economic factors. The level of economic development is a decisive factor affecting the social security system. Different market economy model for the role of market and government in social security has important influence. History, culture and traditions indirectly impact government role in social security.Establishing and improving a social security system should pursue some basic principles. The principle of equity in the social security system requires that constraints must be broken, and ensure fair treatment of every citizen to enjoy its corresponding social security rights. And Social Security is the economic means to solve social problems in order to achieve specific political objectives. So the development of social security must adapt the socio-economic development level. Establishing the principle of shared responsibility to government, market, and enterprises, as well as society, and in accordance with this principle are necessary. This system can be conducive to sustainable development and the harmonious development of whole society. In addition, the combination of universality and selectivity principles, mutual principles, legal principles must be followed in building social security system.Building a perfect social security system is not a separate task, but a systematic project. It needs a number of supporting measures to complete. Firstly, if there is no sound legal social security system, there is no perfect, mature social security system. So strengthening social security and legal system is an important task. Traditional social security system includes enterprise (or units) protection system, national security system and rural security system. They are self-enclosed all, and are not only unable to meet the needs of China's social and economic development, but are impeding market economic reform, we must objectively change the social security system. As older workers without pension insurance fund accumulation of debts under the old system, welfare, pension, disaster relief funding has been a serious social deficit to China security system. Meanwhile, restructuring social security system needs costs. Therefore, resolving social security deficit under the old system properly new start-up costs objectively is the necessary conditions for the successful reform of the social security system, and government must pay close attention. Socialization of social security services management, is the inevitable result of the market-oriented economy development. Social security rights are the rights of all citizens, the government should safeguard their integrity and dignity.
