The unemployment insurance system in our city was established in October 1986 according to the Interim Provisions on Unemployment Insurance for Employees of State-owned Enterprises promulgated by the State Council. It is in line with the economic system reform and labor system reform carried out in China at that time. This system is mainly aimed at unemployment insurance for employees of state-owned enterprises. After the implementation of the socialist market economy in China, a variety of economic sectors with public ownership as the main body have developed together, especially the non-state-owned economy has developed rapidly. In addition to the employment of state-owned and some collective-owned units, the proportion of employees in non-state-owned and other ownership units has been increasing, and some non-state-owned enterprise personnel are in danger. The contradictions and problems in the unemployment insurance system for employees of state-owned enterprises, such as narrow scope of application, few people enjoying unemployment insurance, weak affordability of insurance funds and weak enforcement, are becoming increasingly obvious, which hinder the rational flow of labor force and affect the rational allocation of labor resources, and can no longer meet the requirements of reform. According to the requirements of establishing a socialist market economy, cultivating and developing the labor market, improving the social security system and ensuring the basic livelihood of the unemployed, in 1993, the State Council issued the Regulations on Unemployment Insurance for Employees of State-owned Enterprises, and in 1994, according to the actual situation in Beijing, our city formulated the Regulations on Unemployment Insurance for Employees of Enterprises in Beijing (Decree No.7 of the municipal government in 1994). According to the needs of deepening reform and promoting development, and in view of the problems existing in the unemployment insurance system, in January this year, the State Council promulgated the Regulations on Unemployment Insurance. According to the spirit of the Regulations, it absorbed the practical experience of the unemployment insurance system in our city for 13 years and formulated the Regulations on Unemployment Insurance in Beijing (Decree No.38 of the municipal government in 1999). "Beijing unemployment insurance regulations" has been discussed and passed at the seventeenth executive meeting of the Municipal People's Government, and is now released and will be implemented as of November 1, 1999.
