国务院提出,2001年社会保障工作的首要任务,是进一步做好“两个确保”工作。各级政府要不折不扣地贯彻落实中央关于社会保障的现行政策和措施,一定要确保按时足额发放国有企业下岗职工基本生活费,并代他们缴纳养老、医疗和失业保险费;一定要确保按时足额发放离退休人员养老金,当年决不能再发生新的 The State Council put forward that the primary task of the social security work in 2001 is to further improve the “two guarantees”. Governments at all levels should unswervingly implement the central government’s existing policies and measures on social security and must ensure that the basic living expenses of laid-off workers from state-owned enterprises are paid in full and on time and pay retirement and medical insurance and unemployment insurance premiums on their behalf. We must ensure that The retirement pension shall be paid in full and on time and no new one shall ever happen again
