in p>223, will the pensions of retired workers increase? This may be a topic of concern to many elderly people. In recent years, the annual adjustment of pensions has been declining, and with the increasing aging in China, many elderly people are worried that if pensions are not paid enough, everyone's pensions will not rise. In 222, the pension growth rate was only 4%. Will it increase in 223? The answer is yes. Pension growth mainly depends on three major data. According to the provisions of the Social Insurance Law, the level of basic old-age insurance benefits should be improved in a timely manner according to the average social wage growth and price growth. In fact, in addition to the average social wage and price increase, it also depends on the affordability of society. Let's take a look at the omens of these three figures:

First, the increase of average social wages. In 221, the average wage of our society increased rapidly. The average monthly wage of urban non-private units in Beijing and Shanghai has exceeded 1, yuan. The growth of the average social wage is inertial, so the average social wage will continue to increase in 222. Although the wage data in 222 has not been released in various places at present, the National Bureau of Statistics has announced that the wage income of the per capita disposable income of the national residents reached 15,678 yuan in the first three quarters, which was created by the employed people, and the actual employed people are decreasing every year due to the influence of aging. Therefore, on the whole, the average social wage growth rate is expected to be considerable.

second, the price increase. To calculate inflation, you need very complicated data. According to the consumer price index commonly used in China, it increased year-on-year in the first to third quarters, among which the year-on-year increase in November. For retired people, the most important consumption is daily food, clothing, housing and transportation. In November, the price of food, tobacco and alcohol increased year-on-year, especially the price of pork increased greatly compared with last year (of course, there will be a decline when only one category is compared). In order to maintain the purchasing power level of the old people's pension, especially the low-income people's pension, the average growth rate of the pension will definitely be higher than the consumer price index.

Third, the affordability of society. First of all, our endowment insurance fund still has sufficient ability to pay. This year, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security did not separately announce the accumulated balance of the basic old-age insurance fund for employees, but clearly defined the three funds of old-age pension, work injury and unemployment, and the accumulated balance reached one trillion yuan. According to the statistical bulletin on the development of human resources and social security in 221, the total income of our employee basic endowment insurance fund was 6,45.5 billion yuan, the expenditure was 5,648.1 billion yuan, and the accumulated balance was 5,257.4 billion yuan. This year, revenue still exceeds expenditure, and it is expected that the accumulated balance will still grow. In addition, our old-age insurance is a kind of social insurance. In fact, old-age insurance is one of the important responsibilities of society, not a simple old-age insurance fund. The state has long promoted the transfer of equity of state-owned enterprises to social security funds before the end of 22, and has already allocated 1%. It is estimated that the sum of the central and local governments will reach more than 4-5 trillion yuan, and dividends can bring benefits and reduce the pressure on pension funds. China has established the National Social Security Fund since 2 to accumulate funds for the uncertain risks of social insurance. By the end of 221, the rights and interests of China's social security fund have reached 1 million yuan, which is also the pillar for the continued growth of pensions. In addition, the state will also improve China's old-age insurance system and optimize the income and expenditure of the old-age insurance fund. For example, during the 14 th Five-Year Plan period, we will promote gradual delayed retirement, gradually increase the minimum payment period for receiving pensions, and ease the pressure on social security funds. To sum up, according to the current data, there is no doubt about the pension growth in 223. I believe that the 19th consecutive increase of retirees' pension will come soon.
