This crisis has not only challenged public health systems but also had profound effects on employment, business operations, and economic activities. In this context, the role of social security has become particularly important. It serves not only as a safety net to protect the public from economic shocks but also as a key tool for stabilizing social order and promoting economic recovery. The economic recession caused by the pandemic has forced many businesses to lay off employees or shut down, directly affecting the livelihoods of a large number of workers. In this situation, social insurance policies such as pension insurance, unemployment insurance, and employment stabilization measures play an irreplaceable role in ensuring livelihoods, stabilizing employment, reducing burdens on enterprises, and maintaining the order of economic and social development. Therefore, strengthening and innovating the social security system to ensure it can meet the various challenges brought by the pandemic has become a common focus for the government and society.
