社会保障制度是市场经济发展的“减震器”、“安全网”,转轨时期,我国建立怎样的社会保障制度、如何避免社会保障危机、如何在现有资金基础上确立社会保障水平?带着这些问题,本刊记者于近日专访了辽宁大学副校长、博士生导师穆怀中教授。下面发表的“转轨时期社会保障水平确立的基本立意”一文,就是穆教授为本刊的专访撰写的文章。 Social security system is the “shock absorber” and “safety net” for the development of market economy. During the transitional period, what kind of social security system should be established in our country? How to avoid the crisis of social security? How to establish the social security level on the basis of the existing capital? These issues, the reporter recently interviewed Professor Liaoning University Vice President and PhD supervisor Professor Mu Huai-zhong. The following article, “The Basic Conception of Establishing the Social Security Level in the Transitional Period,” is an article written by Prof. Mu in his interview with this magazine.
