Introduction: It's a real hammer! The first province to raise pensions in 2024 is released, how much is the expected increase?
In China, the pension insurance system is like the two pillars of society, on the one hand, it is the pension for the majority of residents, and on the other hand, it is the pension set up for employees.
According to statistics, the total number of retirees in China has approached the 300 million mark, of which 1700 million people receive resident pensions, while another 1300 million people enjoy the treatment of employee pensions.
With the arrival of 2024, every retiree is looking forward to this year's pension adjustment dynamics.
Recently, an exciting news has spread in the field of pensions: Henan Province, a large province in the Central Plains with a large population, has made it clear that it will raise the basic pension level of retirees.
This news undoubtedly brings hope to the majority of retirees, who have speculated about how much the pension increase will be this year.
Next, let's unveil this suspense together and see what kind of surprises this year's pension adjustment will bring.
On January 28, an ordinary working day, the official website of Henan Province released a work report for 2024, which is undoubtedly a heart-warming good news for the majority of retirees, because the pension adjustment they have been looking forward to in 2024 has finally been settled.
In the report, a clear and firm line of words caught everyone's eye: ".Raise the standards of financial subsidies for basic pensions for retirees and basic medical insurance for urban and rural residents. ”This sentence is not only a commitment to retirees, but also an adherence to social fairness and justice.
As soon as the bell rings in 2024, Henan Province has taken the lead in taking a firm step and becoming the first province in the country to explicitly announce a pension adjustment plan. This move has undoubtedly brought warmth and hope to the majority of retirees.
The adjustment of pensions covers two categories of resident pensions and employee pensions, and the report does not clearly indicate which type of retirees will be raised, which means that both urban and rural residents retirees, or retired employees of enterprises and government institutions will enjoy this policy dividend.
At present, the minimum standard of basic pension for residents in Henan Province is 128 yuan per person per month, and in the past year, the average pension of retired employees of enterprises and retired employees of government agencies and institutions has increased by 119 yuan and 142 yuan respectively. With the increase in pensions this year, the pension benefits of retirees will be further improved, making their lives more stable and comfortable.
In China's pension system, the adjustment of employee pension is a national unified action, involving 31 provinces and cities, and no province can act independently. Henan Province took the lead in proposing an adjustment plan this time, which is obviously a top-down consensus, otherwise its work report will not explicitly mention the improvement of pension benefits.
As time goes on, we can expect more provinces to join the ranks of announcing pension adjustments, and there is little doubt about that.
On the other hand, the adjustment of the basic pension of residents is due to the differences in the situation of various provinces and cities, and the pension insurance has not yet achieved national overall planning, and shows strong local characteristics. According to their own financial situation, all localities will raise the basic pension of residents in a timely and appropriate manner, and the time and standard of adjustment are different.
According to the experience of previous years, the final pension adjustment news is usually presented during the National People's Congress and the National People's Congress in March every year. As for whether the specific increase in pensions will be announced at the same time, the practice over the years has not been consistent. Sometimes the announcement of the increase will be announced at the same time as the increase, and sometimes the decision to increase will be announced first, and then the specific details of the increase will be handed over to the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security and the Ministry of Finance for follow-up implementation.
Regardless of the increase, the news of pension increases is always encouraging. For those who retire before the end of December 2023, their pension accounts will be added by another income this year, which is undoubtedly a real improvement in their lives.
Looking at the trend of pension growth in recent years, we can find an obvious trend: the increase is gradually shrinking. Since 2005, we have experienced ups and downs in pension growth, from the initial high increase to the low increase in recent years, especially in recent years, the increase has fallen from 5% to 3 last year8%。Based on this trend, pensions have risen by more than 3 this year8% doesn't seem likely.
From an economic point of view, China's economic growth rate reached 5 percent last year2%, per capita disposable income increased by 61%, which provides a solid economic foundation for pension adjustment. However, the price range is only 02%, which to a certain extent affects the adjustment of pensions.
Considering that the price increase is small, I think the increase in pensions this year may not be too high, probably in 3About 5%. Of course, this is only my personal opinion and is for informational purposes only. For the specific pension adjustment, we still need to wait for the official release.
To sum up, Henan Province will take the lead in announcing the pension adjustment plan in 2024, which not only sets an example for other provinces in the country, but also brings hope and confidence to the majority of retirees.
This initiative reflects China's adherence to social fairness and justice and care for people's livelihood and well-being.
Whether it is a resident pension or a staff pension, we look forward to seeing more provinces join the ranks of adjusting pensions and jointly promote the improvement and development of China's pension insurance system.
Let us look forward to the specific results of the pension adjustment in 2024, and believe that with the efforts of the best, every retiree can enjoy a more stable and comfortable life.
