Features: Have you ever had a "city dream"? Do you think this dream is unattainable? Enter the City: The Social Security of Migrant Workers will tell you that it is definitely not an unreachable dream, as long as you have social security! Because social security is the golden key to opening the city gate and the institutional guarantee for entering the city! Have you ever paid attention to China's "three rural issues"? Do you think solving the "three rural issues" is as difficult as climbing the sky? Enter the City: The Social Security of Migrant Workers will tell you that it is definitely not an unsolvable problem, as long as the social security of migrant workers is established! Because social security is the golden key to solving the "three rural issues" and the institutional guarantee for accelerating urbanization! This book attempts to place the issue of migrant workers within the broader context of national industrialization, urbanization, modernization, and the well-rounded construction of a moderately prosperous society. Focusing on the perspective of social insurance systems, it examines and argues the following theoretical hypothesis: that establishing a social old-age insurance system tailored to the characteristics of migrant workers is the most important institutional guarantee and policy choice for them to fully complete urbanization. In other words, establishing a social old-age insurance system tailored to the characteristics of migrant workers is the institutional guarantee for their urbanization, the golden key to solving the "three rural issues," and also the golden key for them to enter the city. On this basis, the author proposes recommendations to accelerate the establishment of a social old-age insurance system tailored to the characteristics of migrant workers, implement proactive urbanization policies and active social insurance policies, and open up realistic pathways for migrant workers to reasonably share the fruits of industrialization, urbanization, and modernization. Furthermore, accelerating the establishment of a social old-age insurance system tailored to the characteristics of migrant workers, implementing proactive urbanization policies and active social insurance policies, are all important components of improving the theoretical mechanisms of urbanization.
