(Baonghean.vn) - As of April 30, 2019, in Nghe An province, the number of people participating in voluntary social insurance was 37,687 people, reaching 92.6% of the estimate assigned by Vietnam Social Security; an increase of 5,747 people compared to the end of 2018. In April 2019 alone, the number of people participating in voluntary social insurance in the province increased by 2,709 people.

According to the assessment of Vietnam Social Security, Nghe An Social Security is the leading locality in the country in terms of increasing the number of voluntary social insurance participants. This result is a testament to the continuous efforts and determination of the collective of cadres, civil servants and employees of the provincial Social Security in the first 4 months of 2019.

In addition to regularly strengthening the leadership and direction of the Provincial Party Committee, People's Committee, and People's Council on social insurance and health insurance work; Social Insurance from the province to the grassroots level has strengthened coordination with sectors, political and social organizations, unions, and the Post Office to propagate and mobilize people to participate in voluntary social insurance.

Communication work has been diversified in content and form to suit target groups, especially focusing on propaganda and direct dialogue with people right in villages and hamlets with the motto "sticking to the village, sticking to the people"; "not letting people have to seek policies".

Hundreds of propaganda conferences and direct dialogues with the participation of thousands of people were organized by Social Insurance of districts in the first 4 months of 2019, of which over 250 were organized by the Post Office.

Since the first months of 2019, the Social Insurance of districts has proactively developed plans and organized direct propaganda conferences with people in hamlets, villages, and communes. Conferences are mainly held on holidays and at night.

Before the conference, people in the hamlets were informed via invitations and through the hamlet's loudspeaker system, so the number of people attending the conference was always guaranteed, even exceeding the number originally expected. At the conference, many people registered to participate in voluntary social insurance.

With the viewpoint of "Not only to raise people's awareness, propaganda also aims to make people believe in the policies of the Party and the State, believe in the agencies implementing the policies"; therefore, at the conferences, the Social Insurance of the districts arranged a reasonable time to hand over the decision to enjoy the pension regime to people participating in voluntary social insurance in the area; hand over the Social Insurance books to registered voluntary social insurance participants.

In particular, Nghe An Social Insurance has continuously reformed its administration, changed its service style, and increased the application of information technology to create favorable conditions for people to participate in voluntary social insurance in the locality. The evidence is that many people who registered to participate in voluntary social insurance were handed over their social insurance books right at the propaganda conferences without having to wait any longer.

“The results of developing voluntary social insurance in the first 4 months of the year are quite positive, however, the potential for voluntary social insurance in the area is still large, the targets set by Resolution 28-NQ/TW are still challenging. In the coming time, Nghe An Provincial Social Insurance will continue to synchronously implement solutions to increase the rate of social insurance coverage in the area, focusing on promoting direct propaganda forms according to the motto of "going to every alley, knocking on every door", mobilizing each person.
