These efforts should be based on the basic national situation and
economic and social development reality, Huang said in a speech at the
opening of the first annual meeting of China Social Security Forum.
Huang, also a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of
the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, said that the
Chinese government attaches great importance to the establishment of the
social security system and regards it as the backbone of the socialist
market economy.
Huang urged that efforts in improving the social security system must
adhere to the principle of coordinating planning for urban and rural
areas.
The country needs a social security system that fits the rural economy
and society, Huang said.
He also said the system should cover the problems of work-related
injuries, medical insurance and endowment insurance of migrant workers
and farmers whose land has been required.
Huang also called for a bigger role of social security in adjusting
income allocation, which will allow low-income citizens to enjoy the
fruit of economic development and pave the road for further national
economic development.
