推进农村社会保险立法之路

To Promote the Legislation in Social Insurance of Rural Residents

新颁布的《社会保险法》集中体现了对城镇居民社会保险的保障,但极少甚至没有涉及农村居民的社会保险。我国社会保险制度建设存在严重的城乡失衡,我国的农村社会保障实际上还是一种以家庭保障为主的模式,制度化的社会保险只覆盖了极少一部分农村人口。虽然有部分政策的支持,但政策的法律效力较低,将农村社会保险以立法的形式予以保护才能真正稳固该制度。农村社会保险立法是一个长期的过程,从无规定到有政策,从有政策到有法律,这是一个长期的推进之路,应该从失败中吸取教训,汲取国外先进制度的精华,不断探索新的起点。

The newly-enacted ＂Social Insurance Law＂ shows the protection towards urban residents. However, it hardly mentioned the social insurance of rural residents. There is a great imbalance and gap between rural and urban areas in social insurance construction. Protection within family mem- bers remains main method of social insurance in rural areas, where systemized social insurance hardly covers. Though there are policies exit, the legal effects are weak. To stabilize and empower the ru- ral social insurance, legislation is the only way. Social insurance construction in rural areas is a long process from nothing to policy enacted, then to legislation. We need to learn from mistakes and failure, as well as from abroad to seek new heights and success.
