This year, the minimum monthly pension for urban and rural residents has continued to grow at the highest level of $20, which has been maintained by the state at the minimum monthly rate of $20 for three consecutive yearsPension adjustmentOr we can accelerate the increase
Farmers and friends now make up the majority of pensioners in urban and rural areas and are concerned about the level of pensions in rural and urban areas. How many provinces and municipalities have raised the rate of contributions to old-age pension insurance for urban and rural residents this year, or have uniform provincial requirements, would be able to receive an old-age pension of $800 if the rate of contributions were raised to $5,000 for rural friends between the ages of 58 and 60
The calculation and composition of pensions for urban and rural residents are very similar to those for workers, and the pensions for urban and rural residents are based on a combination of the basic pension plus the personal account pension, without a transitional pension. In addition, the basic pension is calculated on the basis of the number of years of contribution, the contribution factor and the basis for the calculation of the pension, which, unlike workers, is covered by the state subsidy for the urban and rural population. The central government sets a minimum monthly rate of 143 yuan for the year 2025 and 20 yuan for the current year, so that the minimum is 163 yuan, on the basis of which the regions can increase themselves, so that the basic pension component is different from the regions
On the other hand, the individual account pension depends on the individual's contribution, such as the number of years of accumulated contributions, the amount of the annual contribution slot, and the interest on the account. For the friends of urban and rural residents who are insured for old-age pension, the single retirement age is 60 years, so the number of months must be the same, so the most immediate thing is to raise the contribution slot。
The retirement standard for old-age insurance for urban and rural residents is currently sufficient to cover 15 years, while the contribution from 58 to 60 years of age to $5,000 is a short-term, high contribution, i. E., $5,000 for three consecutive years, plus $15,000 for personal accounts (non-interest). For example, if 15 years of contributions, 12 of which insist on the selection of 1,000 yuan a year, and the next three years on 5,000 yuan, the individual pension = 12*1000 + (3*5000) = 27,000/139 months = 194 yuan, together with the minimum monthly minimum basic pension this year of 163 yuan, would amount to 357 yuan, and even if interest and self-enhancement of the basic pension were added, it would be difficult to achieve the level of 800 yuan, with special circumstances, such as last year's minimum monthly pension in shanghai, which has already reached 1555 yuan, or beijing, which is close to 1,000 yuan a basic pension, it would still be possible to receive 800 yuan, which would need to be measured in the context of local legal entities。
According to statistics, the current level of pensions for urban and rural residents is less than 300 yuan, and the current level of pensions is not sufficient in society. In the course of this year's two sessions, it was recommended by the people's congress that the basic pension for farmers over 70 years of age should first be raised to 500 yuan. This criterion of $500 is not imaginary, but is based on the current state of rural under-insurance, which on average also reaches nearly $600, while the basic pension base for farmers is now just over 100, and many older farmers over 70 years of age still need to farm their way down to support their old-age lives。
There were also friends who feared that it would not be realistic to increase the basic pension of farmers aged 70 and over directly to $500, but remoshi also made specific recommendations. In the first place, farmers over 70 years of age now number about 54 million, compared to the total number of people over 60 years of age, and if the basic pension of farmers over 70 years of age is first increased to $500, which is less than 1 per cent of the general public budget expenditure, there is hope that it can be achieved, and it will not be raised immediately to $500, but it will take three years to scale up. The contribution of farmers to the country is more conducive to social stability and solidarity, and it is hoped that good proposals for the benefit of the people will be realized soon
