近期，所谓"全民强制社保"话题引发热议，其中对政策的误读、对公众的误导，有必要澄清辨明。 话题源头，是最高法发布的关于审理劳动争议案件适用法律问题的解释。相关内容概而言之，就是 用人单位与劳动者不管用什么形式约定不缴社保，法院都会认定无效；如果用人单位未依法缴纳社保， 劳动者离职时要求支付补偿，打官司会胜诉。 此次司法解释并没有创设"新规"，而是统一司法裁量标准，消除了全国不同地区司法实践中的分 歧；并非现在才"强制"，按照我国劳动法、社会保险法等规定，缴纳社保本就具有强制性；亦非覆 盖"全民"，而是指向法律意义上的劳动者。少数自媒体为博眼球，冠之以"全民""强制""新规"等字眼， 只会误导公众、制造混乱。 于个人而言，社保是"生存底线"，不是"可选附加项"。 生病了有医保，衰老了有养老金，失业了有基本生活保障……谁都需要抵御风险的社保网。但为什 么一些劳动者对参加社保心存疑虑？盖因只算眼前的和投入产出的经济账，不算长远的和一失万无的风 险账；担心制度红利被企业用"上有政策、下有对策"来消解。 消除疑虑，除了凝聚共识、善加引导外，还需要政府有针对性地主动作为，让司法实践的执行力度 足以消除现实顾虑。 于企业而 ...
