16省份城鄉居民養老金上漲

More than half of China's provincial-level regions have increased the payment standard for basic old-age pensions for urban and rural residents, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security said on Wednesday. According to the ministry, a total of 16 provincial-level regions in China have raised the payment standard, with a maximum rise of 100 yuan per month in some regions, covering more than 72 million elderly people.

人社部10月27日表示，截至目前，今年全國已有16省份提高了城鄉居民養老保險省級基礎養老金，占全部31個省級行政區的一半以上，最高每月上漲100元，惠及超過7200萬城鄉老人。

As of the end of 2020, there were over 542 million people in China participating in the basic old-age insurance plan, most of whom were rural residents.

截至2020年末，我國城鄉居民基本養老保險的參保人數超過5.42億人，絕大部分是農村居民。

In the next five years, China will continue to enhance the payment level gradually to safeguard people's livelihoods, according to the ministry.

人社部表示，十四五期間，為加強基本民生保障，我國城鄉居民養老金還會逐步提高。
