Build a social security safety net for flexible employees

2022-08-26

Recently, according to media reports, a student majoring in music education became an online piano accompanist after graduation. A small operation cost more than 10000 yuan, which immediately put her in a tight corner. Earlier, it was also reported that a rider engaged in delivery of take out food had a traffic accident while delivering bills. Because he did not pay social security, the high medical expenses dragged his family into difficulties. In recent years, the rapid development of the platform economy has given birth to a large number of new industries, new formats and new business models. Under the influence of multiple factors such as the epidemic situation and changes in the international situation, the employment pressure of the whole society has increased, and these new flexible employment forms have become "reservoirs" for stable employment. Data show that the number of flexible employment personnel in China is increasing year by year, and by the end of 2021, it has exceeded 200 million. However, due to the lack of fixed employers, flexible employees still have many restrictions on social security participation, and many people still linger outside the social security system of enterprise employees. Social security is the safety rope of flexible employment. With the diversification of social employment forms and the rapid growth of flexible employment, the "tributary" has gradually become the "mainstream". How to protect the social security rights and interests of this group is not only a theoretical problem, but also a practical problem. In today's China, we can see dusty delivery riders on the roads of every city. Every community is active with express delivery brothers who rise from morning to night. They come and go in the wind and rain, not only hard, but also often face great safety risks. Only by weaving a social security network for them can the "new track" of flexible employment be more attractive. This is also the meaning of a more inclusive social security system. Having security for labor, medical care for the sick and care for the elderly are the voice of the masses and the direction of administration. This year's government work report clearly pointed out that it is necessary to "strengthen flexible employment services, improve flexible employment social security policies, and carry out the pilot of new employment forms of occupational injury protection". Since the beginning of this year, pilot preparations have been carried out in Beijing, Shanghai, Sichuan and other places for the "new work-related injury insurance" created for such occupations as delivery riders and online car Hailing drivers, which will explore valuable experience for future promotion throughout the country. Not long ago, the national health insurance bureau also guided all localities to explore the inclusion of flexible employment personnel in the coverage of maternity insurance, so as to better protect their medical and maternity protection rights and interests. Only by improving the social security network for flexible employees can we make workers more dignified and society more dynamic. On the one hand, we should constantly optimize the methods and processes of social security payment, unblock the channels for mutual transformation of enterprise and individual contributions, and make it easier and faster for flexible employees in various scenarios to participate in insurance; On the other hand, it is also necessary to be people-oriented, face up to the actual situation that the income of many flexible employees is affected by the epidemic, and implement the social security deferment and preferential policies issued by the Ministry of social security and the like for flexible employees, so as to reduce the social security pressure of flexible employees. In the long run, flexible employment is accompanied by the new economy. The new economy has unlimited prospects, and flexible employment is bound to flourish. We will strengthen the coverage of the social security network for flexible employment through multiple channels, and at the same time guide and encourage platform enterprises to purchase personal accidents and hire employees
