  the Basic Healthcare Insurance for Urban Employees (BHI) in China has accumulated 406 billion surpluses in 2009.Why does this PAYG designed social health insurance (SHI) program have so much balance? This paper examines the causes of the high level of balance,using a provincial level panel database ranging from 1999-2008.Statistics results indicate that huge surplus is related to low dependency ratio.the increase of wage and BHI contributions.the steady growth of BHI coverage.Also, BHI surplus is produced by low level of BHI expenditure in reimbursement and government financial capacity.Besides, the medical savings accounts (MSAs) and level of risk pooling result in a significant share of BHI surplus.Although being natural causes, demographic structure, income growth and extension of BHI coverage need to be watched over closely, because they are transitory rather than permanent causes.In order to dissolve these unnatural BHI surplus, China needs to spend more BHI funds in paying patients health expenditure, raise the risk pooling level, or adopt flexible contribution rates.The findings are useful to SHI researchers and administrators from other countries, because level of balance is closely related to SHIs governance, attractiveness and sustainability.

风险分担和收入调节是社会保障制度的重要功能,然而在中国社会保障制度运行中却出现了与风险分担,收入调节相违背的现象:高风险人群没有得到相应得风险保障,低风险甚至无风险人群却得到了非常充分得保障;社会保障制度在在财务机制和给付机制上拉大不同人群的收入差距,使得高收入人群比低收入人群获得更多的保障,社会保障制度存在逆向调节效应.本研究分析了养老、医疗、失业保险等方面的逆向调节现象及其成因.借助于对近30
中国内地在这三十年的经济改革发展,在经济成果上取到很大的进步,尤其在近十余年来采取改革开放和城镇化,再在加入世界贸易组织与国际接触日益频繁之下,经济急速增长.伴随着经济的增长,人民的收入差距也开始扩阔,教育接受的均等程度也受到威胁,所以不得不对教育进行重大的改革.除了满足人民的需求外,亦要提升中国人民质素水平.因此,内地在近十多年也制订不少关于教育政策的方案,包括《义务教育法》、《面向二十一世纪教

福利是现代公民所享有的基本权利之一。对于农村人口占据一半以上的中国而言,农民的福利获得就成为检验中国现代化进程的一把标尺。面向农民这一特定群体,中国福利主体在不同的历史发展阶段依次构筑形成了零散化福利、集体化福利和市场化福利。自进入新世纪以来,农民福利在福利制度的转型过程中开始显现出具有现代公民身份内涵的福利内容。在城乡一体化视野下,要重构以公民权利为导向的农民福利制度,不仅需要国家对历史欠账的清
