China's present endowment insurance system is built on the partial accumulative mode which includes social pool and personal account. Individual account doesn't have the function of intra-generational income redistribution and belongs to private goods in nature. The contribution rate level of personal account not only affects citizen's disposal income presently, also affects their future basic life and expectation. Through the investment of pension fund for maintenance and increment of value, the contribution rate of personal account plays a big role in individual income distribution and national economy.
