农村居民新农保参保行为及其影响因素
The New Rural Social Pension Program in rural China: Participation and its determinants
摘要
Abstract
Participation in the New Rural Social Pension Program (NRSPP) is essential for improving the wellbeing of the elderly in rural China. This paper examines the change in that participation rate by using survey data collected from five rural provinces. It analyzes relevant influencing factors by using the Fixed-Effects model, and explores some effective measures to increase NRSPP participation. The results show that participation in the NRSPP has dropped from 74.6% to 72.1% in recent years, and has disparate participation across different regions. Furthermore, the proportion of farmers who either participate in other pension plans, or do not participate at all, is on the rise. Decline in the participation rate may be due to older people being more likely to participate the NRSPP than younger people. This study also found that there is an inverted U-shaped curve which describes the relationship between age and participation in the NRSPP. The family dependency ratio has a significant negative influence on participation, and the practice of increasing returns for contributors who pay in longer has a significant positive influence on participation. These results imply that the government should implement more effective and longer-term incentives for the NRSPP. Likewise, to cover all eligible rural residents, the government should supplement and improve existing policies, while also ensuring that new policies align with previous poverty alleviation strategies and agricultural policies.关键词
