The Empirical Studies Of Landless Peasants Social Security System

In February,2012, the Chinese Social Science Institute issued the International UrbanBlue Book, saying that China has become “the urbanization” country, and the Chinaurbanization rate is expected to reach55%in2020. According to "Nation Landutilization Overall plan Summary", the occupied arable land will surpass54,500,000Chinese acres during the year2000and2030, which means that land-expropriatedpeasants will increase continuously. It is estimated that the number ofland-expropriated peasants in our country will surpass110,000,000in2030. How tosmooth the land-expropriated peasants’ transition, and help them enjoy the advantagebrought by urbanization are the most urgent questions in front of us. The specialsocial security system for land-expropriated peasants is urgently needed to beestablished.Though people all over the country are trying hard to set up social insurance policesto protect the rights of land-expropriated peasants, we have to notice that the insuresfor and-expropriated peasant is far from enough.On the other hand, there are so many news reports about land-expropriated peasants,while very few specialized research on this subject. And when we take a close look atthe relevant working papers, we will find most of them are standing on thegovernment’s role, and analyzing with second-hand data. In summary, research aboutthis topic is neither comprehensive nor specific.By conducting questionnaire and interviews to the land-expropriated peasants&relevant government departments in Zhoukou, Henan province, this paper analyzedthe current social security policies from the senders and receivers’ prospective, whichprovided a constructive reference to the local government’s reform.
