Rural migrants' participation in old-age insurance: a case study of the inter-provincial migrant workers from Sichuan, China

Old-age pension, a fundamental part of the Chinese social security system, is perceived by the Chinese government as the last support for rural-to-urban migrant workers upon retreating from the labor market. Using survey data collected by the authors, this paper examines a host of factors which influence migrant workers' participation in the old-age scheme. The result shows that individual characteristics, employment status, attitudes toward old-age support and perception of the old-age pension system significantly differentiate two groups of migrant workers between those that have participated in and their counterparts who have not participated in the old-age pension schemes. Among a number of factors, age, educational attainment, holding labor contract, etc. are found to be significant factors influencing migrants' behavior participating(or not participating) the available age-pension schemes. Policy implications for how to improve the rate of participation in existing old-age pension schemes among migrant workers are drawn from the findings.

长期照护保险对农村家庭消费水平的影响——基于CHARLS数据的实证分析

基于预防性储蓄等理论,运用双重差分法,依据中国健康与养老追踪调查(CHARLS)2011—2018年四期面板数据,考量长期照护保险政策对农村家庭消费水平的影响效应。结果显示,长期照护保险使得农村家庭消费水平总体提高了5.2%,这种消费促进效应突出地体现在食品消费、日用品消费、通信消费中,对文化娱乐消费和衣着消费影响不明显。异质性分析显示,非独生子女、收入高以及过去一年内有住院经历的农村家庭受长期照护保险政策的影响程度更大。机制分析表明,预防性储蓄、居民健康和代际经济支持是长期照护保险影响农村家庭消费的重要途径。鉴于此,应通过扩大城乡试点范围、建立多元筹资渠道、构建服务供给体系等方式,推动长期照护保险实现城乡全覆盖。

城乡居民医保整合与农村相对贫困治理的准自然实验研究

推进基本公共服务均等化、防范农村相对贫困是巩固拓展脱贫攻坚成果、促进城乡共同富裕的内在要求。论文基于2013年和2018年中国健康与养老追踪调查数据以及2013年和2019年中国家庭金融调查数据,运用双重差分倾向得分匹配模型,实证检验城乡居民医保整合对农村相对贫困脆弱性的影响。研究发现,城乡居民医保整合显著降低了农村相对贫困脆弱性。这种影响在低收入群体和受大病冲击群体中更加显著,但慢性病患者受到的影响并不显著,且城乡居民医保整合的减贫防贫效应随着脆弱性标准提高呈现下降趋势。机制检验表明,医疗费用支出、健康、劳动参与和家庭资产积累是重要的作用渠道。在此基础上,论文从动态认定相对贫困人口、促进低收入家庭应保尽保、提高农村医保实际保障水平和开展减贫绩效评估等方面提出推进农村相对贫困长效治理的政策建议。

随着2020年我国脱贫攻坚战取得胜利,“三农”工作重心已全面转移至乡村振兴,2024年中央一号文件指出要锚定建设农业强国目标,推进乡村全面振兴。乡村振兴,金融先行,农村普惠保险在政府政策性支持下通过市场化运作,可为农业、农民、农村提供合理有效的风险保障。基于农村普惠保险服务乡村振兴的机制分析,通过走访调研江苏省4家保险公司,分别从服务产业兴旺、生态宜居、乡风文明、治理有效、生活富裕共5个方面凝练了农村普惠保险的具体创新举措。在此基础上,测度江苏省13个市的乡村振兴水平发现,各市的乡村振兴水平都稳步提升且差距明显缩小。进一步利用系统GMM回归方法检验发现,农村普惠保险发展对江苏省乡村振兴的整体影响显著为正,但对5个维度的具体影响不一,其中对产业兴旺、生态宜居的影响最为明显,对其余3个维度的影响还需进一步加强。在此基础上,提出农村普惠保险服务好江苏省乡村振兴的5条未来路径:控制农业生产风险稳定农民收入、缓解农村产业融资约束助力产业升级、提升农民生活保障服务乡村民生、设计绿色保险产品和机制实现绿色生态发展、参与农村治理提升乡风文明。

农村社会养老保险对农户多维相对贫困的影响研究

农村社会养老保险对于提升家庭内生发展能力,缓解农户多维相对贫困具有重要意义。基于可行能力理论构建多维相对贫困指数,利用2014—2018年三期中国家庭追踪调查数据库,探究农村社会养老保险对农户多维相对贫困的政策效果及作用机制。结果表明,农村社会养老保险能够通过促进老年人操持家务、隔代照顾和促进青年劳动力外出就业缓解家庭多维相对贫困状况。按照农村社会养老保险的边际效果特征,农户群体可被划分为有效型、抑制型与无效型三种,且在样本期间内抑制型农户减少,无效型农户增多。另外,农村社会养老保险仅对于多维相对贫困程度较高的农户有显著的作用效果,且农村社会养老保险能够阻断返贫以及抑制长期性贫困。因此,为有效缓解农户多维贫困,应推动农村产业发展并加强对农村劳动力的技能培训,完善农村社会养老保险制度的运作模式和提升养老金待遇水平,以及构建多元化农村社会保障制度。
