Summary/Abstract

Since the implementation of the reform and opening-up policy, the Chinese government has been continually increasing the fiscal expenditure on social security. This effort has scored remarkable achievements and has been playing an important role in basic needs, safeguarding social stability and promoting economic development. However, great disparity still exists between fiscal investment in social security and the population's social security demand, due largely to inadequate total fiscal expenditure and its biased structure. Government spending on social security has yet to play an equalising role in income distribution. In view of these problems, this article recommends ways to strengthen and improve fiscal expenditure on social security.

Summary/Abstract

Based on a survey conducted by our research team at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, the present paper reports on the development of China's new rural cooperative medical system set up in late 2002. The new rural cooperative medical system is different from the old system in that it is organized, guided and supported by the government but that rural residents voluntarily participate in its administration. It is financed by individuals, collectives and the government. The new cooperative medical system focuses on serious disease planning and mutual aid and fraternity between rural residents in health care. The results of our survey indicate that the new rural medical system has been successful up to now but that it also has some problems. China needs to pay more attention to overcoming the difficulties and challenges it faces in terms of future medical needs so that a mechanism for its sustainable development can be established
