英国社会保障制度是典型的政府主导型体制,在几百年的发展轨迹中,政府在社会保障发展中的职能经历了惩罚救济、组织支配、全面干预以及福利契约四个阶段的变化。本文认为对这种转变的分析和理解对于我国社会保障体制的建设将提供有益的启示。 The social security system in the United Kingdom is a typical government-led system. During the hundreds of years of development, the government’s functions in the development of social security have undergone changes in the four phases of punishment and relief, organizational control, comprehensive intervention and welfare contract. This paper argues that the analysis and understanding of such changes will provide useful inspiration for the construction of China’s social security system.
