The social assistance responsibility model needs to be proper location under the current systemic poverty background. How to compare the social assistance responsibility models to different level of development countries from the worldwide perspective and find the common experiences to benefits us is very important.The developed countries, such as the United Kingdom, the United States, Germany, and Sweden had all experienced the national un-liability phase of the charity model to the country’s limited liability of residual mode, to the strong national liability phase of the Keynes-Beveridge model, and the last multiple main liability phase of the state and society in shared mode. These types of mode changed had profound reasons. They not only had a common social background but also had the different theoretical impacts in different stages of development. The common social reasons are the economic crisis with the industrialization process, the large-scale outbreak of the workers’movements, the formation of the socialist camp, and the growth of the welfare dependency phenomenon. The theoretical reasons, respectively, due to the different stages of. In the un-liability phase, the mainly reasons were the personal factors on the cause of poverty, solidarity thinking, the "neighborhood watch" thought. In state limited liability stage, the main reasons were the Institutional Change Theory, and The Negative Income Tax theory. In the strong liability phase, the main reasons are the inequality of the social system, the impact of the new German historical school and the Keynesian, welfare economics, the new Cambridge school, Fabian socialism, social security basic theory development, etc.In the Stage of the multiple responsibility stage,the main reasons are the economic liberalism, the theory of market failure and government failure, the social risk-sharing theory and the "rational egoism" theory, the theory of the poverty trap, welfare fraud and welfare dependence, the impact from the social-democratic of the "third way" thinking.South Africa, Latin America, Russia and China as the typical developing countries, they have some common characteristics in the level of the economic development and in the institutional models. Before reform, they basically implement the universal coverage models and the select subsidies social assistance program. In the process of democratic reform, thanks to the United Nations to promote the theory of Amartya Sen’s "practicable capability" which used in the domestic social assistance reform, change from the past simply living assistance to the development the rescuer’s "practicable capability", has resolved the tension between the constraints of the social assistance level and the economic development level. Accountability, in addition to emphasis the national’s responsibility, but also began to stress the common responsibility of the rescuers and social. Some relief projects have privatization reform. It aims to give full play the effectiveness of social forces and social capital in the social assistance project.Observing the changing course of social assistance responsibility model of China, we found the main reasons were the theories of Confucian heritage, social structure concept of poverty, social assistance order cybernetics, social assistance of economic impact, Marxism’s view of the state and the people’s interests,historical Materialism applied to the social assistance system, welfare dependency ideological, social exclusion theory.From the changes of the social assistance state responsibility and from the reasons for the comparison, it shows that the changes of the pattern is closely linked with the social background.It must correspond to the social needs.The model choice is been affected by the concept. It is better to develop the poor practicable capability,the main step is to increase the educational relief efforts to improve the poor’s ability of learn, created the job opportunities to improve the poor’s employment growth. The mode selection is better to transfer to the four-in-one mode, to change from the Transfusion-style to the Hematopoietic style, to transfer from the relying on the government and units to relying on the community cooperation model.
