In 2009 China began to implement a new rural social pension program (China News,
2009) that will be the focus of our analysis.It is the most ambitious rural pension
system in China’s history and could,if successful,serve as a model for rural
populations throughout the developing world.We discuss both the pros and cons of the
pension plan.We also propose some modifications in this new scheme based on
evidence drawn from rural pension policies currently in place in other developing
nations,modifications which may substantially increase the efficacy of the current
rural pension reform effort in China.
Our analysis draws on evidence from many sources including government
documents,Chinese newspapers,reports on related programs in other developing
countries,informal interviews with several government officials,Chinese pension
policy experts,and farmers in rural northeastern China.
