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.

社会公民经济如何重构“就业、失业与基本收入制度”

社会公民经济如何重构“就业、失业与基本收入制度”

Kishou · Feb 5, 2026

前言:就业不是“谋生”,而是公民存在于社会中的基本许可 在资本经济的意识形态中,“就业”被粗暴地简化为一个工具性定义:“有岗位→ 才有收入→ 有收入才能生存”。这种逻辑将人的生存权与资本的雇用需求牢固捆绑,使得“没有岗位”被系统性地默认等同于“你对社会没价值”。 “失业”被道德化地污名为个人能力不足、市场竞争淘汰、自我失败的证明,进而导致个体在精神上的自我羞辱。 “基本收入”(UBI)则被制度性地污名化为“养懒人”、破坏效率、违背神圣的市场规律的异端福利。 然而,在社会公民经济的框架下,这一整套基于恐惧和效率至上的认知必须被彻底颠覆: 就业不是市场偶然赏赐的机会,而是公民参与社会生产、服务与分享文明成果的基本权利。 失业不是个人能力问题,而是技术迭代、产业变迁所产生的结构性风险。 基本收入不是施舍,而是公民作为“社会共同体成员”所应享有的、对社会共同资产的最低分红权。 这是“以资本为中心的高效市场社会”与“以人为本的公民文明社会”之间,在伦理和制度上的根本分水岭。 一、资本经济下的就业本质:不是“让人活”,而是“用人榨值” 在资本主导的经济结构中,就业的底层驱动逻辑是冰冷而单一的:不是为了解决人的生存和尊严,而是为了最大化地降低生产成本和提高资本回报率。 劳动力被视为可替换的、有价格的投入要素,而非拥有主观能动性的社会成员。 于是,系统自然形成了一种冷酷且不断优化的剥削结构: 有用的人(高性价比)→ 留在系统里,接受无限内卷和绩效考核。 暂时没用的人(低性价比/需转型)→ 被系统丢弃,成为待价而沽的风险个体。 再也没用的人(技术性淘汰)→ 被文明遗弃,成为社会救助的负担。 所谓“灵活就业”、“弹性用工”、“自由职业”,在很多时候不过是资本对“无稳定保障、无社保覆盖、无组织工会”的劳动力进行剥削的文明包装。资本并不关心劳动者能否长期稳定地生活、发展和养老,它只关心你当下这一刻的“边际成本与边际收益是否足够高”。 二、社会公民经济对“就业”的重新定义:不是岗位,而是“社会参与权” 在社会公民经济中,我们必须将“就业”的定义从狭隘的“为资本提供岗位服务”升级为:“公民参与社会生产、公共服务、治理、照护与知识创造的制度性通道。” 这意味着,有价值的劳动不再只等同于“能产生直接财务利润”的劳动,它包括但不限于: 公共服务型就业(Public Service Jobs): 政府、公益组织提供的,面向全民的基础服务。 社会照护型就业(Social Care): 针对老人、儿童、残障人士的照料和情感支持。 社区建设与文化型就业(Community & Cultural): 社区治理、文化传承、艺术创作、非盈利性教育。 生态修复型就业(Ecological Restoration): 环境保护、污染治理、可持续发展项目。 价值认定原则: 只要你的劳动具备以下特征: 对社会有真实且不可替代的价值(Real Social Value)。 对公共安全与韧性有真实贡献(Public Resilience Contribution)。 对共同体的存续有真实支撑(Communal Support)。 它就应当被视为正当就业,并获得稳定的、具备尊严的收入与制度保障。否则,一个社会必然会陷入“真实有价值的事(如照护、基础科研)没人做,纯资本回报高但价值低的事(如金融投机、广告内卷)挤破头”的结构性荒谬。 三、失业的文明定性:不是“失败者”,而是“结构性风险承受者” 在资本经济的道德叙事中,失业是一种个体失败的耻辱,被制度性地隐喻为不努力、能力差、不适应市场。这种羞辱性定性极大地增加了社会的不稳定性和个体的精神负担。 但在社会公民经济中,失业的真实本质必须被非道德化、客观化地定性为:技术迭代、产业转移、全球资本波动、政策调整等系统力量所导致的“结构性牺牲”(Structural Sacrifice)。 核心逻辑是: […]

The Cost of Extending Pension Contribution Periods

Introduction: A Global Surrender of Time Amid a profound global demographic reversal, virtually all modern nations are performing the same quiet yet decisive institutional surgery: delaying retirement ages, extending contribution periods, and recalibrating benefit expectations. Technocrats package this transformation as “the necessary response to the aging crisis,” while fiscal departments frame it as “rational adjustments […]
