The Study On Computing Method Of The Subsistence Security Standards Of Urban Residents In China

To select scientifically calculation method of the poverty line that must first consider the unification of absolute poverty and relative poverty. It is necessary to guarantee "survival", but also over the "dignity". Secondly, we must consider the government and people’s acceptability. In addition, the calculation method is also feasible, the required data should be easy to obtain, and reliable. In the calculation process,it can not be too complex, but not divorced from reality. Through a comparative analysis, the Percentile of the Expenditure Distribution Method and the ELSE are having these characteristics."1dollar a day" is a typical absolute poverty line, is usually less be used as a poverty standard, mainly used for the comparison of national poverty.Which can be used as a baseline for comparative study. Percentile of the Expenditure Distribution Method and the ELES covers all consumer goods, the ELES have been carried out a detailed classification of consumer items. The basis for further study of these two methods is similar to using them to compare the significance. The level of economic development of China is extremely unbalanced, the calculation of the minimum standard (poverty line) is not yet standardized, it is to be further argument over the selected calculation method, and thus the scientific and rational choice the method of calculation has great significance. The paper is to proceed from the theory for measuring the poverty line, and the specific method of calculation, has combed the existing poverty line calculation method, a detailed review of various methods, and analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of the various poverty line measurement method. Found by measuring the poverty line, the poverty standard of China is lower. Therefore we need to improve poverty standard. Suggest a unified and standard calculation method and establishing a scientific and reasonable adjustment mechanism.In addition, The financing mechanisms need to be established for the running smoothly of subsistence allowances system.In ELES,the consume items is more comprehensive, but its calculation results also tend to be high, can not easily be adopted by the Government, if we adopt this method of calculation needed according to the actual situation due to the deletion of a consumer item, as far as possible with local consistent with the actual standard of living and financial situation.
