- Remarks
- Semi-public program; participants pay as for private pension but public subsidy is added to payments The New Rural Pension Program started in 2009 and involved more government involvement than the earlier Old Rural Pension Program. Both programs intend to reduce the difference in old age income between urban and rural areas and make rural elderly less dependent on family (who moved to cities) and land
