Entwicklung des gesetzlichen sozialen Grundaltersversicherungssystems in der Volksrepublik China

The first Chinese Social Security Law of 2011 states that the state should set up a social security system that is based on the legal guideline of sustainability. In this study, the author discusses a question which is still unresolved in China: What is the role of this principle of ‘sustainability’, which is hardly substantiated by legislators, as a legal concept in the pension scheme system? This book deals with the theoretical analysis of the concept of sustainability and its development on the basis of the existing legal framework, the practical interpretation and implementation of the sustainability concept as an objective in the field of pension schemes, an analysis of the dogmatic functions of the sustainability concept within the framework of China’s law on pensions, and the developments and problems in the Chinese pension scheme system and their possible solutions, while also considering the various influences on that system.
