Abstract
- This article reviews China's social security system and its recent reforms from a macro perspective. The traditional "broad" social security model should be replaced by a new "narrow" social security model. If social security programs, eligibility, and responsibilities are adjusted according to the narrow model, urban and rural areas can be integrated into a single social security system. Reforms of the traditional system could thus redress the long practice of preferential policies for the cities and strive to reduce the disparities between urban and rural areas.
