Abstract:

In order to alleviate the problem of "no insurance to rely on, or it is difficult to rely on insurance" for workers in the new employment form, this paper studied the current situation, challenges and prospects of China's occupational injury protection system under the background of "three new" economy. Firstly, the present situation of China's occupational injury protection system was analyzed from two aspects: system orientation and definition of insured objects and system sorting. On this basis, the development and challenges of China's occupational injury protection system in four directions of levels, structure, legislation and coordination were summarized. Then the experience of occupational injury protection at home and abroad was condensed, and the three important stages of local pilot development of occupational injury protection system in China were divided. Finally, the prospect of an occupational injury protection system based on "three new" economy was proposed. The results show that: China's occupational injury protection system is orientated as a social insurance, and the insured objects should cover new occupational groups that do not have labor relations and do not fully meet the established labor relations, and traditional occupational groups that show new employment patterns. The scope of protection and policy framework still need to be continuously improved during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period.

Key words: occupational injury, protection system, new forms of employment workers, employment injury insurance, labor relations, "three new" economy
