| The problem of population ageing in China has become increasingly acute in recent years,especially in rural areas.The ageing population has led to a lower dependency ratio and increased pressure on elderly care.In 2009,the State Council promulgated the "Guidance Opinions on the Launching of New Type of Rural Social Pension Insurance Pilot",and planned to achieve full coverage of the new type of rural social pension insurance nationwide by 2020 in order to solve the pension problems of farmers.In 2014,China merged rural pension insurance with urban pension insurance,and formulated the system of basic pension insurance for urban and rural residents.However,whether the basic pension insurance for urban and rural residents can meet the pension needs of rural residents in China,and whether it can effectively cope with the increasingly serious problem of aging population,these problems have become hot and difficult issues faced by the basic pension insurance for urban and rural residents.This paper takes X city as the research object,starting from the rural residents who belong to the basic pension insurance for urban and rural residents.According to the method of combining theory and practice,based on the theory of social equity and the theory of public goods,first-hand information was collected through questionnaire surveys,field visits and interviews.The current situation of rural residents in X City participating in basic insurance for urban and rural residents was investigated and analyzed from the aspects of promotion subject,promotion object,promotion means and promotion effect.It is concluded that when rural residents participate in the basic pension insurance for urban and rural residents,there are problems such as residents’ weak willingness to participate in the insurance,large fund expenditure pressure,limited management capacity,and insufficient grassroots publicity,the main reasons for these problems exist in four aspects:system,government,farmers and social environment.Based on this,we suggest some countermeasures and measures including improving the basic pension insurance for urban and rural residents,deepening the implementation of government responsibilities,guiding farmers to actively participate in insurance and make contributions and striving to create a good social environment.Through the research in this paper,we attempt to uncover an appropriate route for rural promotion of urban and rural residents’ basic pension insurance in city X,and also to provide some reference and benchmark for the vigorous promotion of the development of urban and rural residents’ basic pension insurance in rural domestic areas. |
