Most of these people are family members of urban workers who went out to participate in productive labor and entered different positions in enterprises in response to Chairman Mao's "May 7th" instructions in the early 1960s and 1970s, so they are collectively referred to as "May 7th Workers".
Combined with the nature of their work, some enterprises in individual industries have other names in their own industries. For example, enterprises in the oil industry once called them "family members of fighting", and some enterprises in the industry put forward the slogan of "militarization of action, collectivization of labor and revolutionization of thought" when organizing their labor, so they were called "three industries".
2. The wives or children of regular employees, who are accepted by the work unit and actually take part in the work, are called family workers, which is the product of the late Cultural Revolution.
Extended data:
It is of both historical and practical significance to solve the old-age security problems of "May 7th Workers" and "Family Workers".
First, it is an important step to implement the spirit of the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and thoroughly study and practice Scientific Outlook on Development's important measures, which is also an important step to improve the social security system. The report of the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China clearly stated that it is necessary to "speed up the establishment of a social security system covering urban and rural residents and ensure people's basic livelihood". Therefore, it is an inevitable requirement to solve the old-age security problems of "May 7th Workers" and "Family Workers" to improve the social security system in various provinces. If these groups are not included in the overall scope of the basic old-age insurance, it at least shows that the urban old-age insurance system is not perfect.
Second, it is the need to protect people's livelihood to bring "May 7th Workers" and "Family Workers" into the overall scope of basic old-age insurance. Rural population generally has land as old-age security. Although land security has encountered many difficulties in the market economy environment, it can indeed provide farmers with the minimum basic living security. As urban population, "May 7th Workers" and "domestic workers" have no land as old-age security and no institutional old-age security.
Thirdly, it is an important part of the "liquidation" project of basic old-age insurance policies in various provinces to bring "May 7th Workers" and "Family Workers" into the overall scope of basic old-age insurance. At the same time, it is also an effective measure to stimulate domestic demand and stimulate the economic development of provinces under the situation of international financial crisis.
Fourth, it is conducive to the whole people to enjoy the fruits of reform and opening up and achieve an all-round well-off society!
