A Research On The Construction And Development Of The Rural Social Security System In Xinjiang

The social security is the institutional system of a country to counter social, economic and natural risks. Western countries had long ago established a social security system to alleviate the domestic social contradictions, resolve labor problems and maintain long-term stability and prosperity. Scholars believe that social security system is a safety net of a country. International Labor Organization (ILO) states that, without social security, there would be no social development and social stability. The social security system has become indispensable tool to maintain the social stability and economic development in the socio-economic system of a modern society.China is a populous country with a high proportion of the rural population. It has a widening urban-rural income gap and large regional disparities. These factors are increasingly affecting the social stability. Currently the social security systems are not mature, and not linked up with each other. Unfair treatments and unscientific managements still exist. To build the social equality and sustainable, healthy and harmonious development of a socialist country, we must attach great importance to the social security system. A nationwide social security system suitable to the level of economic development can be set up by 2020In 2007, the 17th CPC National Congress clearly put forward a goal of "accelerating the social development with the focus on improving people's livelihood". We must do our best to ensure that all our people enjoy their rights to education, employment, medical and old-age care, and housing. China is multi-ethnic country. The development of a national social security system in large ethnic minority areas is also important. Xinjiang is a border area with ethnic population. Xinjiang's rural social security system is established at almost the same pace as the nationwide system. However, compared to developed areas, Xinjiang's rural social security system is underdeveloped. Xinjiang has established a new rural cooperative medical care system. The rural minimum livelihood security system, the rural medical assistance system, the disaster relief and other social assistance systems have also been improved. The new rural pension system has also been experimented in 13 counties. The social security system is now effectively protecting the basic livelihood of the farmers in Xinjiang. It has provided an institutional guarantee to the reform and development in Xinjiang.In this paper, I first discuss the development process and achievements of the rural social security system in Xinjiang. Then I put forward some suggestions about the establishment and improvement of the rural social security system in Xinjiang. I investigated 555 farmers in Daheyanzi township of Jinghe county (four villages, two of which are inhabited by Uighurs, two of which are inhabited by Kazakhs). Using SPSS 17.0 statistical data analysis, I conducted a descriptive analysis and a correlation analysis. Linking the theory with the practice, I put forward reasonable proposals and comments.
