Features: This textbook combines theory with reality, specifically:
1. Reflects the completeness of the social security system—discusses the overall issues of social security in a broader context. The content is concise, with key points highlighted; the structure is rigorous, and the logical order is reasonable.
2. Originality of perspective—addresses current hot and challenging issues, such as rural cooperative medical care and the establishment of a foundational integrated social security system. Drawing on years of learning and research on social security theories and practices both domestically and internationally, the author provides innovative insights into some issues based on China's actual conditions.
3. High degree of alignment with China's social security reality—social security systems are one of the government's primary policies. With the deepening of China's political and economic reforms, the country's social security system has undergone fundamental changes. The traditional planned economy-based social security system can no longer meet the needs of a market economy. Every part of this textbook selects content that reflects new challenges in China's social security system reforms, demonstrating a strong alignment with the country's social security framework. For example, the textbook discusses issues such as housing reform, affordable housing, low-rent housing, and non-profit organizations, which are of practical significance.
4. Novelty of data and case studies—this textbook strives to use the latest numerical data to reflect the latest developments in social security, giving it a sense of the times. For instance, it includes new content on the work-related injury insurance system; in the context of pension insurance, it covers enterprise annuities and the pension issues of flexible employment workers; it also discusses pension reforms for civil servants and public institution employees, among others. The textbook aims to integrate the latest data and latest case studies in social security, helping readers stay informed about the latest advancements.
