Abstract

In this paper, based on Marxism social security theory, the author creatively advances that in China value of labour-power consists of the endowments for the labourer and part of endowments for his or her parents, considering China’s conditions. By this way, the author integrates traditional individual, family, collectivity, and state endowments into a complex endowment mode, namely the target mode of this paper. This mode includes social endowment insurance system and community-and-family support system. The former mainly offers endowment insurance, and the later mainly life services and spiritual cares for seniors. The social endowment insurance system includes primary pension, social pension, and family planning pension for farmers. The management of rural social endowment insurance premium is similar to that of civil social endowment insurance. Considering the great difference of local economy and society in China, community-and-family support system is various in different regions. The family planning pension is to relieve the potential negative effects of certain institutions designed in this paper on the family planning policy.

Summary

Characters of social endowment insurance mode

There are three kinds of social endowment insurance modes: ķ Common pension mode. The income-associated social endowment insurance mode realizes a redistribution of national income among different generations and income groups by special technological mechanism It makes an income transfer happen from high-income class to low-income class, which helps to achieve an income redistribution between the rich and the poor, the industrial laborers and the agricultural laborers in the endowment insurance system, shortening the social security distance between different interests groups. Employers can pay a spot of insurance premiums for employees, what is not an obligation of employers regulated by government; insurance funds are operated in a commercial way, and government provides with guaranty of environment for system operation This mode eliminates government’s responsibility for rural endowment security system, improving citizens’ consciousness of self security, and liberating the government from heavy economic burden. During an economic fluctuation period, it fails to ensure stable economic development and social stability This mode can not benefit some non-income people or low-income laborers because of no savings
