Li Qiang proposed steadily raising pension protection for urban and rural residents, improving the tiered and categorized social assistance system, and strengthening supervision of social security funds.
Translated paragraph context
Li Qiang said that it is necessary to develop a social security system with Chinese characteristics based on China's actual conditions. A proper balance should be struck between doing everything possible and acting within one's means, between government leadership and social collaboration, and between providing basic protection and diversified provision. Shortcomings in the social security system should be addressed more quickly; coverage of enterprise annuities should be expanded; and the personal pension system should be made more attractive. The social security system for people in flexible employment should be improved, their participation rate gradually increased, and the rights and interests of people in new forms of employment better protected. The system should be made fairer, the level of pension protection for urban and rural residents steadily raised, and a tiered and categorized social assistance system improved. The long-term sustainability of social security funds should be strengthened, and their safety, supervision, value preservation and appreciation reinforced. Laws and regulations related to social security should be revised and improved in a timely manner to adapt to changing circumstances.Original Chinese quote
