China’s unemployment insurance(UI) prototype was born in mid-1980 s, in the process of nearly 30 years of evolution, it has made an indelible contribution to alleviating the problem of reemployment and maintaining social stability. Because of late start and the vague understanding of UI function, the system design failed to meet social development needs and gradually exposed many drawbacks, such as long term benefits payment deadline, lack of incentive payment method, a large number of the irrational fund balances, lack of investment funds for reemployment and so on, which severely restricted the promoting reemployment function of UI. In 2006, the Ministry of Labor and Social Security and the Ministry of Finance tried to expand UI fund expenditures range in eastern 7 provinces, which means the system started to transform from ‘protecting basic life oriented’ to ‘promoting employment oriented’. After the success achieved in these areas, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security and the Ministry of Finance released related policies in 2009 and 2012, policies will be prolonged to the time when State Council promulgated the revised ‘Regulations on Unemployment Insurance’, in order to alleviating burden on businesses and reducing fund balances unreasonable malpractice, in 2015 the State Council stipulated reduce UI contribution rate, efforts to promote reemployment of UI are expected to be further expanded. Zhejiang is one of social security developed provinces, and it is one of pilots, this research conforms to the development trend of China’s UI system, aim at problems from this research and put forward measures can indicate the direction to improve UI in Zhejiang, and promote reform of China’s UI system to help more unemployed people out of trouble and realize social harmony.This article bases on introduction of UI in Zhejiang and unemployed people reemployment situations in Zhejiang urban areas, then uses the method of longitudinal comprehensive evaluation to assess the promoting reemployment function of UI in Zhejiang from 2003 to 2013. The research finds that the development of comprehensive strength of UI in Zhejiang experiences four periods. From 2003 to 2005, it is weak, from 2006 to 2007, it is preliminary upgrades, from 2008 to 2009 it is weakened, from 2010 to 2013, it is gradually strengthened. Per capita vocational training allowance level is the most important reason why it changes. In a word, it generally achieves a transition from weak to strong. However, it also finds that UI in Zhejiang exists three problems in aspect of reemployment promotion, such as low extent of participation and benefit, low per capita vocational training allowance level, poor effect of vocational introduction and vocational training, through further analysis, it finds that the unreasonable way of the use of fund, the lack of incentive factors in system, the lack of substance services which vocational introduction and training institutions provide, the poor awareness of government, enterprises and UI agencies restrict the promoting reemployment function of UI.Basing on other pilots and foreign experience, the author puts forward targeted optimization measures as follows, on the institutional level, design sub-file standard UI benefits and raise funds for reemployment promotion to improve the way of UI fund expenditure, in addition, add job subsidies, enhance relevance of UI benefits and reemployment services to strengthen linkage mechanism of system and reemployment. On the organizational level, promote the province’s occupational service agencies coalition and services normalization building to grow the strength of institutions and enhance the skills of unemployed people reemployment, through responsibility education and oversight mechanisms to enhance government and the unemployment insurance agencies in determination and payment of subsidies in the sense of responsibility, commitment to promote universal insurance registration work, targeted propaganda favorable UI policies, increase long-term non-payment of UI enterprise punishment to enhance the enthusiasm of insured for UI and create conditions of exertion of promoting reemployment function of UI.
