Construction of Social Security System for Rural Areas

Great changes have taken place in the rural population structure of China. For instance,the proportion of rural population is decreasing;the problem of population aging is getting more and more serious;and the family size in rural area is becoming smaller. Under such circumstances,farmers are obviously exposed to risks of aging,illness and poverty. In light of the requirement to build a well-off society in an all-round way and realize the coordinated and sustainable development between economic and social in urban and rural,we must speed up the construction of social security system in rural areas,set short-term,medium-term and long-term goals,and identify social insurance as the main model for security system,and establish an overall institutional framework including rural pension system,rural medical insurance system and system for ensuring a minimum standard of living.
