Social security and the reform of state-on enterprises are two conceptions that have close relations. The latter can not go without the development of the former, and this article will try to support this view in the following four parts.Part One will explain the relation between the reform of state-on enterprises and social security.First of all, the state-on enterprises have three major burdens, which are the abundance of labor, the burden of social welfare, and the burden of debts. These burdens have brought great difficulty in running the business and have become the direct cause of the bad performance of these enterprises. We have to unload these burdens in order to make profit.The abundance of labor is a chronic problem in the reform and the current situation of our state-on enterprises is not optimistic, which is particularly serious in some industries such as textile, machine manufacturing and coal industry. In terms of areas that suffer from this problem, Northeast and Northwest become the top of the list, in conformity to the areas that create most deficit of state-on companies. This situation can be attributed to the defect of system factor, management factor, structure factor and the labor factor itself.The burden of welfare of state-on enterprises can be seen that the enterprises take on too many obligations that should be taken by the society, such as insurance , education and medication. And the reasons for this lie in the under development of social security system and the improper layout of productive force.Our state-on firms have serious burden caused by debts, and the reasons are:1. the change from get money freely to lend money, so the enterprise can no longer enjoy free lunch; 2. enterprises themselves seldom accumulate capital out of past profits, so that the capital could not be supplemented in time; 3. the capital market is under developed, so the companies can not directly get enough money through the market; 4. over heavy social burden.Secondly, examine the relationship between social security system and the reform of state-on companies by the meaning of social security itself. In the bibliography published by International Labor Organization in 1942, social security was defined as: 'certain organization offer certain security to its members when they face certain risk, offer insurance fees to prevent or cure disease, and help the laid –off worker refind a job.'In the development of social security, there appeared social relief, social insurance, social welfare three forms, which constitutes a broader meaning of social security.Thirdly, social security system has a great bearing on the reform of state-on enterprise. A healthy and intact social security system is an essential part of socialism market economy, which is also a significant guarantee to build a modern enterprise system. The importance can be viewed as: 1. to exterminate unstable factors, stabilize the development of economy, and ensure the balance performance of economy; 2. well distribute the interest, function to relieve the social contradictory; 3. to offer basic security to individuals ,enterprises and other main bodies in the market.It is quite common that state-on enterprises are low in efficiency at present time, the companies thereby have to face great risk of annexation and reconstruction. The workers of such companies then will face the adjustment of labor structure, more abundant labor, larger chance to be laid off. All these together with the risks of market, policy, natural disasters and other unpredictable factors, the enterprises and the workers are easily to be stuck in a quagmire in that we have no healthy and intact social security system, and the reform of enterprise and the society will have to cease. Thus a well-developed social security system can offer basic security function, in order to keep the stability of the society and the progress of company reform.Part Two is the investigation of social security theory.
