Research On International Comparision Of Two Core Index In Social Security

With a heavy financial burden of social security and frequency of the debt crisis,the European welfare state and their governments have been continuing to seek toreduce the financial investment and lower the level of social security. Emergingdeveloping countries and countries in transition have been in progress on socialsecurity system reform trying to establish a universal burden-sharing social security.The U.S. must have made a choice between the government and the market inmedical insurance and pension reform. It’s of great importance to decide that howwe can build our social security system to make an international comparison of thesocial security scale and financial responsibility on government social security.The relative scale of social security reflect the distribution structure of the totaleconomy, which is say how much GDP is shared on the social security in a fiscalyear; financial responsibility on government social security reveals that how muchfinancial output is shared on the social security, which is a reflection about the depthand strength of the financial responsibility on government social security. The twoindicators are considered as the core index in social security area due to their ownsignificance. In fact, as a result of different understanding of the social security andthe statistical range in every international organization and governments, the relevantstatistical data about the two core index can not be directly comparable. However,some people often do it in this way and wrong conclusions leading to improperjudgments and inappropriate government decision-making may be acquired.In this paper, statistical difference in caliber on social security expenditure andfinancial social security spending would be concluded via statistical methods bycomparative analysis of social security statistics in five international organizations:OECD, EU, World Bank, IMF and ILO. Firstly, five international organizationsdiffer from each other in their items, implementers and levels, especially in activelabor market policies, education, health and housing. Secondly, social securityspending as a share of financial expenditure is also cannot be directly comparablebecause different organizations and governments have different understanding onsocial insurance. All or part or no of the social insurance being included in thebudget would lead to the whole different management methods. Through the study,it’s not difficult to find that no common standards are presented in social securitystatistics, which seriously affected and restricted the international comparison andtheoretical research on social security. The establishment of international standards on social security statistics should be paid much more attention.In China, the social security system compatible with the socialist marketeconomic structure has been establishing and improving, and the direction and pathof which related to the transformation of China’s economic development mode, theestablishment of a harmonious society and the goals of sustainable development. Forthis, China is in urgent need to focus on the dynamic of international social securityreform, to analyze the share of resources on social security and the coverage anddepth of the financial responsibility for social security, and to sum up theunderstanding of the regularity guiding to China’s social security system anddevelopment. And it all depends on the construction of China’s social securitystatistical system and its comparison with the international community, so we need toknow and be familiar with the status and practice on international social securitystatistics in order to make the statistics of China’s social security be integration withthe international community, and then to meet the need of theoretical studies andinternational comparison of social Security.
