The Difference Of Pension Benefits And Social Stratification Of Different Groups

As socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era,the principal social contradiction in China has been transformed into the contradiction between the people's ever-growing need for a better life and unbalanced and inadequate development,according to the 19 th CPC report.The development of China's social security field is also unbalanced and inadequate.Fairness is a common pursuit of values.The original intention and mission of the social security system is to disperse risks among different groups,adjust the gap of stratification,and promote social justice and social solidarity through resource redistribution.The old-age insurance system is the most fundamental and most important institutional arrangement in the modern social security system.As the realistic expression of result fairness,the endowment insurance pay embodies the operation effect of basic endowment insurance system centrally.The existence of the large gap shows that the imbalance of the pension system is particularly serious.This paper first introduces the background of topic selection and research significance,summarizes the research status and relevant theoretical basis of domestic and foreign scholars,and then describes the research methods,innovation points and possible shortcomings of this paper.Then,from the perspective of social equity and based on the analysis framework of social stratification,this paper describes the gap between different groups' endowment insurance benefits in the dimensions of urban and rural,regional,occupational,and gender and so forth.The empirical analysis shows that the gap of pension benefits has formed institutional barriers of social mobility between different levels and solidified social stratification,which is contrary to the original intention of social security system.These gaps are mainly caused by the fragmentation of the system,the confusion of social security concept,household registration attached to social security rights and interests,path dependence of institutional reform,and low-efficiency system operation and management.The disparity in pension benefits undermines social fairness,undermines social solidarity and makes it more difficult to integrate the pension system,which is not conducive to sustainable economic and social development.Finally,it puts forward some countermeasures and suggestions,such as reshaping the development concept of social security,strengthening the integration of endowment insurance system,improving the first pillar pension,and improving the method of planning and distribution,so as to narrow the unfair pension gap.
