In March of this year, the 2022 National People's Congress was held in Beijing, and representatives and committee members actively offered their opinions and suggestions. At the meeting, Sun Jie, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, focused on the use of blockchain technology to promote the co-governance and sharing of social security for laborers in new employment forms, which attracted people's attention.
Sun Jie believes that the information transmission network based on the blockchain can connect mobile workers, employers, local human resources and social security departments, national human resources and social security departments, local post offices, and market supervision departments through the social security blockchain. The entire process of reprinting and modification by trusted media can be traced back , which is conducive to the establishment of a social security system of shared governance and sharing .
In recent years, blockchain technology has continued to develop in depth. With its unforgeable, untamperable, traceable, traceable , and open and transparent features, it has rapidly empowered various industries and has been widely used in many industries such as finance, insurance, and food safety. , as a new field of blockchain intervention, social security is constantly being explored for its potential value, and blockchain has endowed this field with new transformative power.
There are many problems with social security payment for migrant workers With the continuous expansion of my country's economic scale and the increasingly frequent cross-regional flow of labor talents, social insurance, as a guarantee arrangement that accompanies each laborer's life, will also be transferred accordingly with the flow of laborers. However, some practical problems cannot be ignored. For example, there are many procedures for inter-provincial transfer and continuation procedures, which are prone to errors;
The nature of the work of floating laborers determines that there is a strong mobility between positions and regions. Personal social security payment faces problems such as few channels, cumbersome procedures, difficulties in payment and deposit, lack of continuity, and cross-regional carryover obstacles when handling retirement. The lack of social welfare protection for migrant laborers has resulted in damage to the rights and interests of laborers and their families, resulting in a lose-lose situation for both laborers and employers.
From the perspective of the overall situation of rural revitalization , some migrant workers work in cities to earn money when they are young and strong, and return to their hometowns for retirement when they are old. However, the lack of social security means that some migrant laborers cannot be effectively protected when they are old, and they are very likely to return to poverty. It is not conducive to the overall revitalization of the countryside.
Blockchain makes social security more warm
The current situation of separation of regional administrative management and line management in our country has brought a lot of problems to the social security of migrant workers, resulting in the inability to effectively share social security payment information among various administrative entities.
As a distributed database, the blockchain has the characteristics of non-tampering, anonymity, traceability and decentralization , which can effectively solve the problems of administrative barriers and information asymmetry, and provide a solution to the dilemma of social security for migrant workers. exit.
Specifically, you can operate through the following procedures:
First of all, a national unified social security relationship transfer information platform is established through blockchain technology. The transfer and continuation procedures of the handling agency can be directly handled on the platform without the transfer of paper materials. At the same time, the processing progress on the platform is transmitted in real time To the Internet for public inquiries, to achieve online real-time feedback of information.
Secondly, define the roles, positioning and responsibilities of migrant laborers, labor companies, human resources and social departments at all levels of government and market supervision departments on the blockchain. For example, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, as the party that formulates social security payment rules, coordinates social security payment and deposit supervision, and shares social security information, can assume the responsibility of the chain owner and provide information storage nodes for all parties. Local human resources and social security departments act as depositors of social security funds, issuers and sharers of social security information, migrant laborers act as social security payers and sharers of social security information, and employers act as issuers of employment information and sharers of social security information. The market supervision, postal and other departments on the Internet have made a relatively clear definition.
Finally, co-governance and sharing are realized through the social security blockchain platform. The platform connects mobile laborers, employers, local human resources and social security departments, national human resources and social security departments, and market supervision departments. On the platform, the social security information paid by individuals will be shared with each responsible entity, and it will be used as an indicator of whether the employer employs the mobile worker. The main credit data of employed persons, while the market supervision department supervises whether the employing enterprises legally recruit migrant employees with continuous social insurance payment and deposit records in accordance with the social security payment requirements.
Throughout the social security management process, each floating employee corresponds to an independent social security fund account through his or her personal ID number. The mobile employees pay the social security funds to the social security account, and the local Human Resources and Social Security Bureau is responsible for uploading the individual's social security payment information to the blockchain. The current unit of the mobile employee uploads the employee's employment information to the social security blockchain, and the Market Supervision Bureau will query the employee's social security payment and enterprise employment information through digital certification to supervise the legal employment of the enterprise. Enterprises in the market can query the past employment information and social security payment information of employees on the blockchain through digital certification and personal permission , as the benchmark information for further employment.
On this platform, based on the information transmission network built on the blockchain, the information can be sent to every subject on the chain quickly and without tampering , and at the same time, the whole process of reprinting and modification actions of trusted media on the chain can be traced back . Due to the complete sharing of information on the platform, personal social security funds can be freely switched in various local social security accounts, which is convenient for migrant employees to flexibly choose the retirement location when handling retirement, and can transfer personal social security funds to the retirement location, solving the problem of migrant workers worries about the future and increase their enthusiasm for social security contributions.
epilogue Technology facilitates life. As the result of the fourth industrial revolution, blockchain technology has potential application prospects in the field of social security due to its distributed, open and transparent, safe and stable characteristics.
On March 5, Li Keqiang, Premier of the State Council, said in his government work report: In 2022, the national pooling of the basic pension insurance for enterprise employees will be steadily implemented, and the basic pensions for retirees and basic pensions for urban and rural residents will be appropriately raised to ensure timely and full payment.
To achieve this goal, it is very important to explore and study the application scenarios of blockchain technology in the field of social security. As analyzed above, "blockchain + social security" has an important existence value in creating a unified national social security market that is co-governed and shared .
