The minimum subsistence guarantee system for urban residents is the core of social relief system, and minimal assurance standard is the core of the policy. In China, the standard of minimum living guarantee is not only the screening criteria but also the compensation standards of poverty, so the level can impact on the standard of local economic development, the living standards of residents, the government's financial income and expenditure, and other important economic variables. If the minimal assurance standard is excessively low, policies cannot safeguard citizens'living right, the society will be liable to be turbulent, that will generate negative impact on the harmonious development of society and be contrary to the basic modern public management philosophy. If the minimal assurance standard is excessively high, it is inevitable to produce welfare dependency phenomenon, employment will be suppressed, the government expenditure will increase, the burden of enterprises and workers will aggravate, then consumption will get down, saving will reduce, chain-like negative influences appear. Therefore, the research to the minimum social security standard has theory significance and practical significance.In this paper, 1997-2006 urban residents'expenditure of Liaoning Province and list of minimum nutritional needs provided by the Chinese Nutrition Society are used to calculate the food poverty line of urban residents, we use the Martin regression equation to obtain upper and lower limit poverty line in theory of Liaoning Province, On this basis, an appropriate line between the existing minimal assurance standards below the upper poverty line was work out by replacing some variables. World Bank's POVCAL software was used to calculate each high-poverty line and moderate level of development under the line of poverty index, this helped us to estimate Liaoning Province's total financial needs for the minimum subsistence guarantee system . Conclusion by comparing the reality funds needs and the ability of financial supply is that the financial situation of Liaoning Province will be able to afford the appropriate developing standards ,this standard can be used to optimize the minimal assurance standards.The full text is divided into six parts.The first part: Fragment.
