When Secretary Xu was about to send Zhang Ruiqiang off, Feng Yu suddenly asked: "What do you all think about Social Insurance?"
Secretary Xu was puzzled. Why did Feng Yu suddenly ask him about this? Zhang Ruiqiang also looked at Feng Yu. Was Feng Yu trying to change the topic to avoid embarrassment?
Zhang Ruiqiang will not let Secretary Xu answer this question. He said: "Social Insurance is simply a pension system. In the past, our country had an enterprise insurance system, which means the enterprises will bear the salaries of their employees. This way, there will be 20 to 30 employees taking care of one retiree, and the ratio is increasing gradually. This is because more people are retiring. Also, many people who do not have a company will need to work when they are old. That's why China learned from the developed countries and introduced Social Insurance. This is also a form of resource allocation system. "
Secretary Xu looked at Feng Yu. Zhang Ruiqiang had made a good point, and he wanted to hear what Feng Yu had to say about this.
"What Mayor Zhang said is very simple. But have you ever thought about how long it will take to implement this policy? Now, our country is forcing companies to pay Social Insurance for their employees. But you all should know the effects of this policy better than me. "
"What are you trying to say? Don't keep us in suspense!" Zhang Ruiqiang was unhappy. This Feng Yu likes to show off his knowledge at times like this. Moreover, his research on this policy was not particularly thorough. Even the people from the central government did not know much about this matter. It could only be said that they were "feeling the stones to cross the river"!
"I dare to say that this policy will not be fully implemented even after you all retire!"
"What did you say? Are you kidding me?! This is a national policy. How can it not be implemented after so long? "Zhang Ruiqiang was unhappy, especially when Feng Yu mentioned retirement. He was afraid Secretary Xu would be agitated. Also, Zhang Ruiqiang still has more than 10 years before he retires. How can Feng Yu be so sure that this policy will not be implemented?
Feng Yu laughed: "The one-child policy is successfully implemented? Is everyone following it? "
Secretary Xu had wanted to retort to Feng Yu. Feng Yu was not a government official, how can he criticize the country's policies in front of him?
But when Feng Yu used the family planning as an example, he couldn't refute it.
It was proposed in 71 and publicized in 80, and advocated among Party members and Communist Youth League members. In fact, it was a semi-coercive measure. In 82, it was written into the constitution as a basic national policy. It had been implemented for more than ten years, but the result was that every year, there were still a large number of children being born. You can't strangle other people's children, can you?
In the countryside, the population is the labor force. The implementation in the city is not bad, but in the countryside, even if the city increased its efforts again in 1991, it still could not be controlled.
A basic national policy that had been written into the constitution had not been fully implemented after so long and so many people had worked hard together. Not to mention the social insurance system, which had not been written into the constitution and was not that strong.
The most important point was that the social insurance would require both the enterprise and the individual to pay for it. Many workers objected to it at first. Why should their salaries be reduced by a piece? Didn't those who didn't pay social security also retire? How could the enterprises and factories not support them? They had contributed for most of their lives!
The workers wanted the enterprises to pay for the social insurance. But the enterprises do not have the ability to do so. This was not a small amount, especially when those who were about to retire had to pay for the social insurance. Some enterprises had a showdown with the government leaders. They could not afford to pay for the social insurance. If they pay, the enterprises will close down, and all the workers will have no food to eat!
"If we want to implement the social insurance system successfully, the first step is to merge the enterprise's insurance with the social insurance system. But it is hard to know how to merge them. There are too many people taking in the social insurance system, and the government does not have enough funds. The number of people taking in is too little. The enterprises are not willing to pay for the social insurance. "
There were a few ways to pay for the social insurance in other countries. The more common way was the proportional payment system and the equal payment system.
These two systems were the most mainstream, and both had their pros and cons. Hua Xia was now implementing the proportional payment system. Until Feng Yu's rebirth, this system had not changed.
Merge? Zhang Ruiqiang and Secretary Xu looked at each other. If the two systems were merged, it would be a big problem. But it was just like what Feng Yu had said. If the two systems were not merged, then it would be hard to implement this system. The enterprises had to pay for the pensions of their workers and still have to pay for the social insurance.
Secretary Xu looked at Feng Yu: "How does Bing City Machinery Company pay for the social insurance?"
"Our company and our workers are contributing to the social insurance system together. Isn't this the government's policy?" This policy was only advocated and was not fully implemented. This was because the government was not sure of the workers' attitude.
"Did those workers agree to this?" Secretary Xu asked curiously. He had heard from his subordinates that many of the enterprises' workers were creating trouble because of this. Some workers were protesting, and some were petitioning the higher-ups.
"It's simple. Just increase the workers' salaries. They had to pay more than 40 RMB a month, and I will increase their salaries by 100 RMB a month. How can anyone be unhappy? Most of the expenses are borne by the enterprises. Just explain it to them, and everyone will understand. "Feng Yu had a" Do you still need to ask? Why are you all so stupid "look on his face.
Secretary Xu was speechless. Do you think all the enterprises are like Bing City Machinery Company and can afford to increase their workers' salaries by 100 RMB a month? What do you mean by explain it to everyone? The main reason is to increase the workers' salaries.
What the workers care about the most is to get more money!
Secretary Xu was also speechless. This Bing City Machinery Company was really rich. Their salaries were already the highest in China, and they increased their salaries by 100 RMB? That means their Grade 8 workers will be getting more than 1,000 RMB a month? Last year, Bing City's average annual salary was only slightly more than 5,000 RMB. This year, it will be more than 6,000 RMB?
"Feng Yu, your idea is not feasible. How can other enterprises increase their workers' salaries by so much?" Zhang Ruiqiang frowned.
"Even so, it must be increased. Last year's inflation had increased, and the workers' salaries had increased a lot. This year's economic situation is much better than last year. Why can't the workers' salaries be increased? Are you telling the government to pay taxes, and the government will pay for the workers' social insurance? "Feng Yu asked.
Increasing the workers' salaries will mean that the enterprises' costs will increase, and their profits will decrease. The taxes paid by the enterprises will also decrease, and the government will have less money to spend.
But if the workers' salaries are not increased, then it will be hard to implement this social insurance policy. Feng Yu even felt that the separation of state tax and local tax was also related to this policy. It might seem that the local government will have more taxes, but in reality, the local government will have to bear more responsibilities. This was a double-edged sword.
Secretary Xu and Zhang Ruiqiang were deep in their thoughts. That's right. How should they choose?
