AnnotationThe old age pension scheme in China's state-owned enterprises (SOEs) is experiencing a difficult transition period. In the past, SOEs were responsible for providing retirees with pension benefits. However, in the 1980s and 1990s, the financial position of SOEs deteriorated, making it difficult for them to honour their social welfare commitments. The background of the current pension crisis is examined, and recent attempts to improve the funding for pensions in China's state-owned sector are reviewed, focusing on the period since the State Council issued its "Decision on the Establishment of a Unified Pension Insurance" in 1997.
