System

Social law is China in recent years in the market economy to improve the legal system, the implementation of the scientific concept of development, the construction of a harmonious socialist society in the tide of the history of the emergence of emerging legal categories and legal disciplines.

Social law is the law that is most compatible with the socialist system. Social law can play a positive role in easing social conflicts and maintaining social stability, and the establishment of a harmonious society is especially inseparable from the development of social law. With social construction and economic construction, political construction and cultural construction being placed on an equal footing, the importance of social law is becoming more and more prominent.

In the traditional legal departments, civil and commercial law and economic law mainly regulate the economic life of a country and focus on the protection of the civil rights of citizens; the Constitution and administrative law mainly regulate the political life of the country and protect the political rights of citizens. The traditional branches of law pay far less attention to social and cultural life.

Social power

As the affairs of the social sphere alongside the economy need to be regulated and protected by law, and the protection of citizens' rights other than political rights and civil rights (which can be called "social rights") also need to be protected by a new legal sector, social law is facing a rare opportunity for development.

The main purpose of social law is to protect the social rights of citizens, especially the interests of vulnerable groups. In social relations, there are inherently strong groups and vulnerable groups, and the market economy will spontaneously lead to the strong stronger, the weaker the weaker. Without the intervention of public power to protect the interests of the weak, the imbalance in social relations will be exacerbated and eventually lead to serious social problems.
