Endowment insurance is a social insurance system established by the state and society according to certain laws and regulations to solve the problem that workers reach the working age limit stipulated by the state to terminate their labor obligations or quit their jobs because of old age.
Endowment insurance provides basic living security for the elderly and makes them feel safe. With the arrival of the aging population, the proportion of the elderly population is increasing and the number is increasing. Old-age insurance guarantees the basic life of elderly workers, which is equivalent to ensuring the basic life of a considerable number of people in society. For on-the-job employees, participating in endowment insurance means that they have expectations for their future old-age life and are free from worries. In terms of social mentality, more people are stable and less impetuous, which is conducive to social stability. The establishment of the old-age insurance system is conducive to the normal intergenerational replacement of the labor force, the retirement of the elderly, the smooth employment of the newly growing labor force and the rationalization of the employment structure.
The problem of providing for the aged is not only a social problem, but also a global problem, which is related to the economic and civilized development of a country or society and needs our sufficient attention. Because the old-age insurance is implemented in a wide range, the insured enjoys treatment for a long time and the cost is huge, therefore, the government must set up special institutions to unify legislation, formulate rules, manage and implement in the whole society.
