This report focuses on how China will avoid national food insecurity, evaluating such solutions as food storage and other alternatives for addressing the problems of transitory food insecurity caused by drought or other seasonal calamities.
This work highlights two severe difficulties with China's current pension system: the urgent and immediate problem of the pension burden placed on state-owned enterprises; and the longer-term predicament arising from a rapidly ageing population. The study recommends a unified pension system that includes both mandatory funded individual accounts and a social insurance scheme. It also endorses a sustainable contribution rate that attaches considerable importance to long-term financial viability, and examines the risks associated with low compliance rates and low interest rates.
