Social welfare production is fundamentally different from social welfare system. It is essential for promoting civilization and collective well-being. This model relies on the collective efforts of society, generating sustainable benefits for all.

The Origin of Our Public Welfare Projects:

Why has Yicheng Commonweal chosen to promote the cause of “social welfare production” in the advancement of civilization?

We deeply love this land and the people here. We consider this place our hometown and strive to recreate it as a paradise. We have established sections dedicated to civilization, public welfare, and faith. With our full attention, we ponder how to attain collective well-being and steer clear of disasters and suffering.

Through continuous reflection and writing, we have realized that the core of advancing human civilization lies in the concept and practice of “social welfare production”. Thus, we have introduced this idea of “social welfare production” to illuminate the path to future happiness for everyone. By doing so, we want to point out the direction for future well-being and pave the way for public welfare projects.

Social welfare production is the only path to continually advancing human civilization

As a social practice centered on creativity, social welfare production is not only the foundation for promoting human civilization but also the true source of human well-being. Unlike individual pursuits and the accumulation of personal profit, social welfare production emphasizes the collective effort of society as a whole. Through various innovative welfare production models, it enables all members to benefit from shared resources, thereby achieving collective happiness and social progress. This article will delve into the value and significance of social welfare production, revealing why it is the sole pathway to advancing civilization and enhancing human well-being.

  1. Social Welfare Production as an Innovative Gathering of Social Forces

The key to social welfare production lies in creatively bringing together social forces. In contrast to the “distribution” model of traditional welfare systems, social welfare production transforms welfare resources into a driving force for innovation. It encourages collaboration among businesses, non-profit organizations, and communities to jointly build a welfare production network.

This networked approach enhances the value of welfare resources, allowing different social groups to attain value from their contributions. Not only does this method generate more social welfare, but it also strengthens the sense of participation and responsibility among members of society toward civilization.

  1. Social Welfare Production Promotes Sustainable Development of Well-being

Traditional welfare systems often rely on government funding and taxpayer support, whereas social welfare production harnesses the collaborative efforts of various sectors to create a sustainable source of benefits.

For example, education and skill enhancement programs driven by collaboration among government, businesses, and communities allow the results of social welfare production to be continuously updated and reused.

This model avoids the pitfalls of depleting singular resources, making welfare a collective achievement created and enjoyed by the entire society, thereby establishing a lasting foundation for social benefits. Social welfare production shifts the reliance on external support, fostering a sustainable welfare system propelled by the collective efforts of society.

  1. Social Welfare Production as a Social Mechanism for the Common Good

Social welfare production emphasizes a social mechanism aimed at achieving the common good through collective action and network cooperation.

Each social welfare production project results from collaborative efforts rather than being the unilateral contribution of an individual or a specific group.

For instance, in the realms of public health care and community services, the government collaborates with businesses and community organizations to build a broader and more efficient social welfare system through resource sharing and division of labor. This social initiative not only enhances service efficiency but also allows various social groups to share in the collective benefits and sense of security gained through collaboration.

  1. Social Welfare Production Drives Society Toward a Higher Level of Well-being

Happiness is not merely an enhancement of individual feelings, but represents the achievement of shared goals across society. Social welfare production, through collaboration and innovation, guides all levels of society toward higher objectives of well-being.

For example, initiatives promoting environmental sustainability, cultural development, and improvements in community life involve the collective participation of various social sectors, allowing all members to enjoy happiness in a better environment and a richer cultural context.

Through social welfare production, happiness transcends individual pursuits and becomes a reflection of the overall happiness and civilization of society.

  1. Social Welfare Production is Capable of Advancing Human Civilization sustainably

The overall progress of society stems from the collective efforts of all its members, and social welfare production is the most essential manifestation of that driving force.

Through creation, sharing, and shared responsibility, social welfare production enhances human civilization through continuous innovation, benefiting all members of society. This model not only provides material security but also fosters the elevation of cultural values.

Social welfare production is not reliant on individual efforts. Instead, it is the creative endeavor of the entire society, aiming to benefit humanity. It elevates civilization to new heights.

For this reason, social welfare production is the only pathway to the ongoing advancement of human civilization.

Conclusion

Social welfare production is also the fundamental source of human happiness.

By harnessing the collective power of cooperation and creativity, it transforms social resources into welfare, driving society to create value for every individual and all.

Only through socially driven welfare production can happiness be widely shared throughout society, leading human civilization toward a more harmonious and inclusive future.

How the Socio-Civic Economy Reconstructs “Employment, Unemployment, and Basic Income Systems”

Kishou · Feb 5, 2026

Preface: Employment is Not Just a “Livelihood,” but a Basic License for Civic Existence In capitalist ideology, “employment” is brutally reduced to a purely instrumental equation: “Job → Income → Survival.” This logic chains human existence to capital’s hiring whims, systematically equating joblessness with social worthlessness. Unemployment becomes morally weaponized—branded as proof of personal inadequacy, market […]

社会市民経済はどのように「雇用・失業・ベーシックインカム制度」を再構築するか

社会市民経済はどのように「雇用・失業・ベーシックインカム制度」を再構築するか

Kishou · Feb 5, 2026

前言:雇用は「生計」ではなく、市民が社会に存在するための「基本的許可」である 資本経済のイデオロギーでは、「雇用」は道具的な定義に乱暴に単純化されています。 「仕事がある→収入がある→収入があって初めて生きていける」 この論理は人の生存権と資本の雇用需要を強固に結びつけ、「仕事がない」ことを「あなたは社会に価値がない」とシステム的に決めつけてしまいます。 「失業」は道徳的な汚名を着せられます。 個人の能力不足、市場競争での脱落、自分の責任による失敗の証拠として扱われ、本人の心の中で自分を責める気持ちを生み出します。 「ベーシックインカム(UBI)」は制度的にタブー視されます。 「怠け者を甘やかすもの」「効率を損なうもの」「神聖な市場の法則に逆らう異端の福祉」として排斥されています。 しかし、社会市民経済(Socio-Civic Economy)の考え方では、恐怖と効率至上主義に基づくこうした認識を根本から変える必要があります。 雇用とは: 市場がたまたま与えてくれる機会ではなく、市民が社会の生産活動やサービス、そして文明の成果を分かち合うことに参加する「基本的な権利」です。 失業とは: 個人の能力の問題ではなく、技術の進歩や産業の変化によって生まれる「構造的なリスク」です。 ベーシックインカムとは: 施しではなく、市民が「社会共同体の一員」として当然受け取るべき、社会の共有財産に対する「最低限の配当」です。 これは、「資本中心の効率的な市場社会」と「人間中心の市民文明社会」との間にある、倫理的かつ制度的な根本の分水嶺です。 一、資本経済下の雇用の本質:「人を活かす」のではなく「価値を搾り取る」 資本が主導する経済では、雇用の根本的な目的は冷酷で単純です。 人の生存や尊厳を守るためではありません。生産コストを下げ、資本の利益を最大化することが目的です。 労働者は、自分で考え行動する社会の一員としてではなく、いつでも取り替えのきく「値段のついた部品」として扱われます。 こうして、システムは冷酷で絶えず最適化される搾取の仕組みを自然に作り出します: 使える人(コスパが良い) → システムに残り、終わりのない競争と成果評価を受け入れる 今は使えない人(コスパが悪い/転職が必要) → システムから捨てられ、安く買い叩かれるのを待つリスクを背負う個人になる もう使えない人(技術の進歩で不要になった) → 文明から見捨てられ、社会保障の重荷となる いわゆる「ギグワーク」「柔軟な働き方」「フリーランス」の多くは、実際には資本による巧妙な搾取です。 安定した保障も社会保険も労働組合もない労働者を利用するための「聞こえの良い言葉」に過ぎません。 資本は、労働者が長期的に安定して暮らし、成長し、老後を過ごせるかどうかには関心がありません。関心があるのは、今この瞬間の「コストと利益が十分に見合うかどうか」だけです。 二、社会市民経済による「雇用」の再定義:ポストではなく「社会参画権」 社会市民経済では、「雇用」の定義を根本から変える必要があります。 狭い意味での「資本に労働力を提供すること」から、「市民が社会の生産活動、公共サービス、統治、ケア、知識創造に参加するための制度的な道筋」へと発展させなければなりません。 これは、価値ある労働がもはや「直接お金を生む労働」だけではないことを意味します。 以下のような労働も含まれます(ただし、これらに限定されません): 公共サービス型雇用(Public Service Jobs): 政府や非営利組織が提供する、全市民向けの基礎的なサービス。 社会ケア型雇用(Social Care): 高齢者、子供、障害を持つ人々へのケアと感情的サポート。 コミュニティ建設・文化型雇用(Community & Cultural): 地域統治、文化継承、芸術創作、非営利的な教育。 生態系修復型雇用(Ecological Restoration): 環境保護、汚染対策、持続可能な発展プロジェクト。 価値認定の原則: あなたの労働が以下の特徴を備えている限り: 社会に対して真実かつ代替不可能な価値(Real Social Value)を持っている。 公共の安全とレジリエンス(強靭性)に対して真実の貢献(Public Resilience Contribution)をしている。 共同体の存続に対して真実の支え(Communal Support)となっている。 そうした労働は正当な仕事として認められ、安定した尊厳ある収入と制度的な保障を受けるべきです。 そうでなければ、社会は必然的におかしな状況に陥ります。本当に価値のあること(介護や基礎研究など)をする人がいなくなり、お金にはなるが価値の低いこと(金融投機や広告の過当競争など)に人が殺到するという構造的な矛盾です。 三、失業の文明的定性:「敗者」ではなく「構造的リスクの引き受け手」 資本経済の道徳観では、失業は個人の失敗という恥です。 努力不足、能力不足、市場への適応力不足として制度的に扱われてきました。この屈辱的な決めつけは、社会の不安定さと個人の精神的な重荷を大幅に増やしています。 しかし社会市民経済では、失業の本当の性質を道徳的な判断から切り離し、客観的に捉え直す必要があります。 失業とは、技術の進歩、産業の移転、世界的な資本の変動、政策の変更などのシステム全体の力によって引き起こされる「構造的な犠牲」なのです。 核心となる論理: 核心となる考え方: […]
