对独树一帜且难以复制的新加坡社会保障制度的几点思考

Reflections on Singapore's Social Security System, Which is Unique and Difficult to Copy

新加坡的社会保障制度被国际上研究社会保障问题的学者称作独树一帜且难以复制的社会保障制度。其特色体现在以下几个方面:权威主义政治体制是政府推行独特的社会保障制度的关键;自我负责是建立社会保障制度的基本理念;采取独特的中央公积金制度模式;社会保障的目标较先定位于"居者有其屋"计划上;制度设置深受中国传统儒家文化影响。新加坡卓有成效的社会保障制度的实施给国民生活风险提供了可靠保障,进而对新加坡经济社会发展产生了积极影响和推动作用。

Singapore’s social security system is known as a unique and hard to replicate social security system.Its characteristics are reflected in the following aspects:The political system of authoritarianism is the key for the government to carry out the unique social security system,the self-responsibility is the basic idea of establishing the social security system,and the unique central provident fund system model is adopted,the goal of social security is first set on the“Home Ownership Scheme”,and the institution is deeply influenced by Chinese traditional Confucian culture.The implementation of Singapore’s effective social security system provides a reliable guarantee for the risks of national life,and thus has a positive impact on the development of Singapore’s economy and society.
