On the country,the "bundle scheme" increases social costs and it should therefore be replaced with legal regulations.Next, the paperexplains why a majority of participants choose the minimum contribution level based on observations in the fieldstudy.This choice reflects the two-fold information asymmetry between the authority and rural residents.Based onthe field study, we suggest that the new rural pension authority listen to village cadres and farmers to increase farmers’awareness.展开更多

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.展开更多
