Zheng Bingwen said that the second pillar is the supplementary pension insurance for enterprises, which is dominated by business owners. People who are not employed by business owners cannot enjoy this benefit. The vast majority of flexible workers and freelancers will not be able to join the second pillar. Therefore, the coverage of the third pillar is greater than that of the second pillar, which is an important reason for my country’s efforts to build the third pillar pension.

Now labor is scarce, land is scarce, funds and capital are scarce, and long-term capital is even scarcer. Pensions are long-term capital, and the development of pensions also contributes to economic development. “Pension pensions can also help the capital market prosper. First, it can increase institutional investors with long-term funds; second, it can provide long-term equity capital.” Zheng Bingwen said. (Shanghai Stock Exchange)
