Abstract

China is experiencing a rapid development of population aging, posing significant challenges to the sustainable development of its pension insurance system. This study focuses on China's pension insurance legal system reform, analyzing current issues such as system fragmentation, pension fund sustainability risks, and inadequate legal framework. The research finds that effective pension insurance system reform requires coordinated advancement in both policy-making and legal protection: at the policy level, emphasis should be placed on expanding coverage, optimizing fund management, and elevating the coordination level; at the legal level, it is necessary to accelerate pension insurance legislation, improve supporting regulations, and strengthen rights protection mechanisms. The study suggests promoting coordinated development between the pension insurance system and socio-economic progress through measures such as establishing unified pension insurance law, improving the multi-tiered pension insurance system, and enhancing fund supervision systems, thereby better addressing the challenges of population aging.
