To realize the provincial planning of endowment Insurance before the end of the year it will take some time for the authorities to say that local interests are the biggest drag on old-age insurance. The national "roaming" has yet to be legislated help editor's note by the end of 2009, all provinces of the country would achieve the goal of provincial-level  Now, in the 2009, more than half of the progress of the provincial co-ordination, what is the problem, whether the end of the year to truly achieve the goal, once again become the focus of social concern. From the current situation, "the balance of interests" has become the biggest obstacle to promote the overall level of endowment insurance. Therefore, in order to achieve the end of the National provincial planning goal, all localities must strengthen the "national chess" awareness, the overall interests in the first place.  Only in this way, the goal of "implementing national co-ordination in the 2012" is based on this, and the legal system of social insurance can be truly embodied. Our correspondent Zhou newspaper reporter Du Meng Endowment Insurance all over the "Xinjiang and governance" situation is accelerating change.  Since entering the July, there are two provinces of Hebei and Shanxi to realize the provincial planning of endowment Insurance.  This means that up to now, there have been 22 provinces in the country that have established or begun to establish a provincial co-ordinating system. Since the State Council at the beginning of this year, "at the end of 2009 in the country to fully realize the Basic Endowment Insurance fund provincial planning" goal, the industry once circulated "task heavy, Time tight" concerns. "From the current situation, in the country before the end of the basic implementation of provincial co-ordination, not only the conditions are ripe, but also feasible."  "The Ministry of Social Security, Inspector Yu Mingchun, said in an interview. In the event of a smooth progress, Ping, Director of Social Security Institute of Human Resources and social security, found a strange phenomenon, he told reporters: "has achieved provincial co-ordination of the place, in addition to the 4 municipalities, most of the less developed areas, such as Gansu, Qinghai, Ningxia, Xinjiang;  Mostly belong to the developed area. Why is there such a strange phenomenon?  Ping bare Mystery ——— "the balance of interests is difficult" is the main reason. The biggest resistance of provincial co-ordination comes from the balance of local interests. In a province, when the local interests and the interests of the province conflict, the cities and counties tend to choose local interests, do not want to benefit adjustment in the provinces have been implemented provincial co-ordination system, Xinjiang is undoubtedly a typical sample.  Reporters had previously dedicated to Xinjiang for in-depth visits.  Reporter contacted the first interview object named Chen Xiquan, 75 years old, 1994 from the Xinjiang Construction Engineering Group installation company retired, so far has been a pension for 15 years, during which undergo a variety of changes. "My pension was 960 dollars when I first retired. After two years of retirement, corporate efficiency is slipping, and there is no money to give us pensions, let alone adjust. After 1999, my pension began to be issued by the Social Security Agency and adjusted on time. Especially since 2005, my pension has doubled and is now more than 2000.  Chen Xiquan told reporters.It is understood that most of the retirees who retired before 1998 had a memory of being defaulted on their pensions. 1989, Xue Pine forest from Xinjiang Construction group Xinlong Company retired. At first, he was able to receive his pension in time.  After 1993, businesses began to default, sometimes only a few months.  According to sources, Xinjiang province, the implementation of provincial co-ordination before, casually to which old state-owned enterprises to see, whether it is the construction industry, transportation industry, or chemical industry, have been such a situation. This is not unique to Xinjiang. According to data shows that 1998, the National Basic Endowment Insurance fund income of 145.9 billion yuan, spending 151.16 billion yuan, the deficit of 5.26 billion yuan.  As of June, the accumulated arrears of pensions were 14.6 billion yuan. In May 1998, the central government proposed "two guarantees", one of which was "ensuring the timely and full payment of pensions for retirees".  In less developed areas such as Xinjiang, how can we ensure that pensions are paid in full and on time? "We believe that it is necessary to improve the co-ordination level and to implement provincial co-ordination." This is a starting point for us to consider at that time. Because, the lower the level of co-ordination, the more stakeholders, the greater the contradictions. To improve the level of co-ordination is to reduce the interests of the main body.  A person in the Department of Labor and Security in the autonomous region said in an interview with reporters. At that time, Xinjiang also had the worry: once the autonomous region to implement provincial co-ordination, to ensure that the responsibility will be issued by the provincial government, where the money from? According to statistics at the time, the regional fund accumulated less than 500 million yuan, only enough to pay 2 months of pensions.  According to estimates, the region's 1999-year fund payment gap reached 250 million yuan. Critical moment, the central government to Xinjiang with strong support, the annual appropriation of special funds of 400 million yuan for the payment of pensions.  By the end of 1998, the original balance plus the central funds, all the payment gap, to the region's pension payment fallback responsibility is possible.  After the implementation of provincial-level co-ordination, Xinjiang has also adjusted the fund revenue and expenditure measures in time, changing the balance to pay for the full payment, change enterprise distribution for social distribution, fundamentally solve the problem of pension arrears. Xue Lin actually felt the change: "After the implementation of social distribution, my pension is no longer in arrears." Shong, a retired personnel at the installation company of Xinjiang Construction Engineering group, has also felt this huge change. "In the past, companies had no money and we went to the company and asked, ' When is it going to cost? The employee said, ' I'm sorry, old comrades, this month may be delayed for some time. Now, take the passbook directly to the bank. In the past, there were few retirees who had more than 1000 dollars. Recently, I made a statistic for the 106 retirees of the installation company, the pension for 2000 dollars above 8 people, take 1000 yuan above 96 people, less than 1000 yuan only 2 people. "The implementation of the provincial-level co-ordination system also solves the problem of workers ' mobility within the autonomous region." It is now very convenient for people to flow within the autonomous region. Urumqi Social Security Bureau Tianshan branch staff Zhang Jun told reporters: "Since the implementation of the provinceAfter the level of co-ordination, our monthly transfer, transfer out of business more than 200 pens. It takes 5 minutes for a transfer procedure, and a transfer procedure takes 2 minutes. "Ten years to grind a sword", Xinjiang finally successfully achieve provincial co-ordination.  And in more places, especially in the developed regions, the same more than 10 years of exploration, but the result is "slow progress." Ping explained that the less developed areas in the implementation of provincial co-ordination, have been the central financial aid funds. In this way, the central financial aid funds, provincial financial assistance funds and the transfer of the solution are concentrated at the provincial level, the provincial level will have sufficient material base for the implementation of provincial co-ordination.  For the land, the city, most of the fund gap is relatively large, belong to the beneficiaries, are willing to implement the provincial co-ordination. The developed regions generally do not have the support of the central government, the Fund and most of the balance in the city, county level, the provincial level does not have very abundant funds to adjust the fund ballots. Cities and counties generally regard the funds being paid as their own resources, according to the current financial system, if the surplus funds to support the brothers City, the county, will harm the local interests.  In a province, when the local interests and the interests of the province conflict, each city and county often choose local interests, not willing to benefit adjustment. The implementation of provincial co-ordination, frankly speaking, is to ask for more funds to balance the land, the city, a part of the fund support Fund has a gap in the city, to ensure that the province's pensions on time and in full distribution.  Therefore, the provincial co-ordination is not a theoretical issue, but a realistic interest adjustment issues, involving the responsibility of local finance and a province within the various areas of interest adjustment, "This is the crux of the problem."  In the interest tangle, because of the low level of the endowment insurance, the contradiction of the old-age insurance can not be transferred more and more, which arouses the concern of the insured personnel and the public opinion. A survey of population-moving provinces ——— Zhejiang province shows that as of June 2007, there were as many as 16.707 million migrant workers in Zhejiang province, of whom more than 11 million of the labor relations were "roaming" in the province as a result of job changes, and their average work cycle was 3-5 years, with per capita au more than one time. So frequent flow, and "prison" pension insurance system formed a huge contradiction.  The man-made obstacles make Zhejiang's peasant workers retreat from the flood tide.  The concept of "provincial co-ordination" was first proposed more than 20 years ago; at the same time, the State Council had proposed to achieve the goal of provincial co-ordination at the end of 1998, but it was not achieved; After 10 years, the final deadline for provincial co-ordination was set at the end of 2009 years. In fact, the signs of contradiction were discovered as early as more than 20 years ago. Authoritative information shows that as early as 1987, the state Restructuring, Labor Department in a issued notice, said, "in most cities and counties in the country to implement the social co-ordination of retirement costs, conditions can also carry out the provincial pilot."  This is the first use of the concept of "provincial co-ordination" in the Department of State Department documents. 1991, the StateThe hospital issued a decision on the reform of the endowment insurance system for enterprise employees, and made it clear that "to create conditions actively, from the current city and county planning and gradually transition to provincial co-ordination." In 1995, the State Council issued a notice on deepening the reform of the endowment insurance system for enterprise employees, and put forward the focus of reform on the city. It is also from this time that the divergence of views from all sides has grown: some people think that the provincial co-ordination is necessary, some people think that the conditions for the implementation of provincial co-ordination is immature; others argue that provincial co-ordination is theoretically feasible but difficult to implement in practice. Because of the inconsistent understanding, the process of provincial co-ordination has stalled.  Taking county and city as the unit's endowment insurance, the defects such as compartmentalization, unbalanced enterprise burden and weak fund-Masonic ability are getting worse. The turnaround occurred in the year 1998.  At that time, the State Council put forward the implementation of provincial planning timetable and standards: 1998 in the country to achieve provincial co-ordination, the establishment of Endowment Insurance fund transfer mechanism, in 2000 in the province, district, city, the basic realization of a unified corporate contribution ratio, unified management and regulation of the use of funds, the social insurance agencies  In reality, however, this timetable has not been achieved owing to the unsatisfactory progress made elsewhere. Into the 21st century, the lower level of the endowment insurance and Economic and social development requirements of the contradiction is more and more prominent: some urban workers often for the work of the relocation of the insurance to continue to worry about the problems; some places do not want to accept the security personnel approaching retirement  So many insured personnel can not enjoy the old-age treatment. However, in the process of speeding up the decision-making of the provincial level, the actual work of all localities has made some progress. According to the information from the Ministry of Human Resources and social security, as of the end of 2008, a total of 17 provinces, including Beijing, Tianjin and Xinjiang, have realized the provincial planning of endowment Insurance, and Hainan and Xinjiang's Labor Corps have promulgated the provincial integrated approach of endowment insurance.  Guangxi, Hebei, Guangdong in the early 2009, have also issued a provincial-level integrated approach. "It is the basic requirement and core content of the provincial planning to define the responsibility of the old-age insurance at all levels."  Yu Mingchun pointed out that the key to the success of the provincial co-ordination is how to define the responsibilities of all levels of government to ensure basic pensions, "so next, we will urge local governments at all levels to implement their obligations." According to the relevant sources, in the central financial and local financial responsibility division, the Enterprise Staff Basic Endowment Insurance implementation of territorial management, the implementation of local people's government, especially the provincial people's government responsibility, the central Government of the Midwest region and the old industrial Base Endowment Insurance fund gap to give appropriate subsidies. However, from the present situation, the central government's investment is much larger than the local finance.  According to statistics, from 2003 to 2008, in the pension insurance subsidy, the central government's investment accounted for more than 80%. The ultimate goal of solving the "prison" problem is to achieve national co-ordination. The draft social insurance law is clear, and the timetable given by the State Council is 2012.Although this is the general trend, the industry is worried that the balance of local interests may become the biggest problem from the first concept, to determine the end of 2009 in the country basically achieve the goal of provincial co-ordination, has been a long more than 20 years.  Today, just over half a year from the end of 2009, the battle is launching its final round of offensives.  But to achieve the provincial co-ordination is not the ultimate goal of this campaign, the ultimate goal of solving the "prison" problem of the Endowment insurance system is ——— to achieve national co-ordination. Wang Tao, deputy inspector of the Endowment Insurance Department of Human Resources and social security, said that from the law of large numbers of social insurance, the higher the overall level of social insurance, the stronger the Fund's strength, the more stable and lasting the function of social insurance.  Therefore, in the national scope to promote and achieve provincial co-ordination, is to achieve "national co-ordination" basis and prerequisite. But history seems to fall back into a circle. On the issue of national co-ordination, the parties are plunged into a controversy: Some people advocate step, some people think that the implementation of conditions are not yet available, it will take twenty or thirty years.  There are also insiders pointed out that, compared with the provincial level, to achieve national co-ordination of the local interests involved in the issue will be more complex and more difficult. In this regard, Ping's view is that "it is time to consider the national co-ordination." "The trend in the future is the national co-ordination of basic pension infrastructure." For retirees, there is no ability to work, should be protected by the government.  "In fact, the State Department has given a clear timetable for this ——— 2012 to implement national co-ordination." More to be expected, in the work report of the NPC Standing Committee, the enactment of the Social Insurance law is put in the first place in the legislative program scheduled this year.  The latest draft law establishes the basic legal framework of China's social insurance system, the most important of which is to make it clear that the Basic Endowment Insurance Fund is implemented at the provincial level and gradually implemented nationwide. In this respect, some legal experts said: "One-step to improve the national level of co-ordination is not in line with the actual situation in China, so we should be phased, first to solve our most urgent problems." The legal system of social insurance must adapt to this history and characteristics, just as clothes have to adapt to a rapidly growing size or a big girl, such adaptation is not easy. "There is no doubt that the consensus of the Community on the promotion of an integrated level has been reached and that the time for achieving the goal is becoming more imminent." But in an optimistic situation, there are still experts pointed out the problem: "According to the current version, at the end of 2009 to achieve nationwide provincial-level co-ordination, I am afraid of the introduction of social insurance law, the provincial co-ordination has long been achieved." Thus, from the current policy orientation and timetable, it is clear that attempts are made to ' adapt ' through administrative means rather than through institutional reform. "Under the current system framework, if only by administrative means to raise the overall level of social insurance to the provincial level and even national co-ordination, will face many problems." The expert said, "as the regional development level is too different, according to the same contribution ratio, the regionalThe standard of payment must be different, and it is difficult for people in the more developed regions to participate in such a nationwide initiative. "" The current situation of old-age insurance in China is very complicated, and it is a great test to unify all the practices in a perfect law. We hope that the social insurance Law will be an act which conforms to the Chinese development process and conforms to the principle of the rule of law. We will also study and formulate the corresponding basic endowment insurance regulations and other administrative regulations, the formation of basic laws, administrative regulations and policy measures combined with the endowment Insurance legal policy system. "A person from the legislative branch said.
