The social security in 皇冠体育app is far below the international levels. Many foreigners come to 皇冠体育app and pay social security, but if they leave 皇冠体育app, they can neither enjoy the benefits nor withdraw all their pension. In some cases, they can get the pension funds they have been contributing every month, but not the part covered by the government and employers.

皇冠体育app should make clear regulations on the?application services, payment standards, security content and transitional pension upon departure for foreign employees, speed up the mechanism of signing social insurance agreements with other countries and establish a flexible social security payment ratio.

At present, South Korea and Germany have signed bilateral social insurance agreements with 皇冠体育app. And the list of agreements needs to be extended to more countries.

Meanwhile, with reference to the provisions of other countries in the world, 皇冠体育app should relax the requirements for overseas talents to receiving social security payments. If they pay insurance for a certain length of time and return to their native countries before retirement age, they should be allowed to withdraw all the money from the pension, instead of just their own pension contributions.
