Group 1 - The article emphasizes that social insurance contributions are mandatory during the probation period, and employers must pay social insurance for new employees based on their salary in the first month [3] - It clarifies that the monthly contribution base for new employees should be their salary for the month they start, rather than the minimum base [3] - The article states that employers cannot substitute social insurance payments with cash allowances or other forms of compensation, as this is not legally recognized [3] Group 2 - Social insurance fees consist of contributions from both the employer and the employee, with both parties sharing the responsibility [3]

Core Viewpoint - The prioritization of occupational injury protection for delivery riders can mitigate immediate risks while accumulating experience for comprehensive social security reform. The gradual reform of the social security system should focus on national coordination and flexible contributions to avoid conflicts between rigid systems and flexible employment [1][17]. Group 1: Occupational Injury Risks - Delivery riders face significant occupational injury risks, including traffic accidents, overwork-related health issues, and extreme weather threats. Statistics indicate that riders average over 50 kilometers of cycling daily, leading to a high-pressure work environment that increases the likelihood of accidents [2][3]. - The occupational injuries of riders not only affect them but also impose external costs on society, such as increased public healthcare burdens and traffic congestion due to accidents [2][3]. Group 2: Policy Development and Implementation - In December 2021, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security and ten other departments introduced the "Occupational Injury Protection Measures for New Employment Forms (Trial)" to support and regulate the rights of new employment form workers [4]. - The core of the Measures is to recognize the unique employment status of platform workers and establish an occupational injury protection system that provides medical expenses and compensation for disability or death [5][6]. Group 3: Challenges and Risks in Policy - Despite the Measures, there are potential risks of companies evading their responsibilities through outsourcing or changing order mechanisms, which could undermine the effectiveness of the occupational injury protection [9][10][11]. - The flexibility of platform operations and the evolving nature of employment relationships pose challenges to the implementation of the Measures, as companies may exploit loopholes to minimize their obligations [8][12]. Group 4: Balancing Rights and Industry Sustainability - The debate on whether to prioritize social insurance or occupational injury insurance reflects the need to balance immediate risk coverage with long-term institutional development. Prioritizing occupational injury insurance could provide immediate relief while allowing for gradual improvements in social insurance [14][16][17]. - The proposed pathways for policy implementation suggest that establishing occupational injury insurance first could stabilize the industry and facilitate a smoother transition to comprehensive social security reforms [15][16][17].

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the evolution and current state of China's social security system over the past 30 years, highlighting its achievements in achieving near-universal coverage while also addressing the emerging disparities in benefits among different groups [2][26]. Group 1: Social Security Development Over 30 Years - Since 1993, China has established the world's largest social security system, with social pension insurance covering 1.07 billion people and medical insurance covering 1.38 billion people, achieving near-universal coverage [5][6]. - The transition from a "state-unit guarantee system" during the planned economy to a "state-social guarantee system" has expanded coverage from urban residents to the entire population, including farmers and non-state sector employees [8][26]. Group 2: Achievements in Coverage - The social insurance participation rate for pension insurance rose from 27% in 2010 to 75% in 2022, while medical insurance participation has remained stable at around 95-96% since 2018 [7][26]. - The social security system has provided systematic support to previously unprotected groups, such as farmers and non-state sector employees, who are now significant beneficiaries of the system [10][11]. Group 3: Emerging Disparities - The main contradiction in the current social security system is the unequal distribution of benefits among different groups, with significant disparities between urban and rural residents, as well as between employees and non-employees [3][16]. - The gap between employee insurance and resident insurance has widened, with pension benefits for employees being 7.28 times higher than those for residents by 2020 [19][26]. Group 4: Challenges and Future Outlook - The sustainability of the social security system requires substantial financial investment, and the burden on social security funds is increasing due to demographic changes such as aging and declining birth rates [27]. - Future efforts should focus on optimizing economic structures and seeking common interests among different social groups to enhance the effectiveness of the social security system as a safety net and economic stabilizer [27].
