近年澳门经济发展迅速,成绩亮丽,但也面临不少社会问题,其中社会保障制度是广受关注的民生议题之一。回归后,澳门社会保障制度和社会保障基金得到了政府的大力支持并取得较大发展,适当扩大了保障范围并增加了保障给付项目,调升了相关给付金额,并致力于有序建立起双层式社会保障制度,但也存在如社保基金的财政足够性和可负担性、稳健性及可持续性等种种挑战。构建社会保障长效机制需要社会共识,本文对澳门政府和民间社团最近提出的一些意见进行了分析,认为解决足够性和可负担性、稳健性及可持续性等问题应审慎参考其他地区的做法,结合政府咨询工作的完善,让澳门居民对该政策有全面的理解和充分的讨论。
<<In the midst of booming economic development and rising worldwide standing,the Government is still facing various social issues,such as overloading carrying capacity,tight human resources and ageing society. Thus,social security system becomes the key for easing these social issues. Since Reunification,the standards and coverage of Macau’s social security and social welfare system have been improving greatly and systematically. The Government is also introducing the second tier of retirement benefit system or central provident saving account system. However,the concerns,including affordability,adequacy,sustainability and robustness of the social security fund always catch the public’s attention. Expectedly,the public consensus is a must for the social security fund becoming sustainable long-term system. This article analyses some public opinion on the development of social security fund,and proposes that,in order to resolve concerns such as adequacy affordability,sustainability and robustness,a careful reference to experiences from other regions is necessary. Combining with the improvement on consultation,residents of Macau should eventually have a full understanding and discussions on the policy.
