Study On The Independent Assistance Of China’s Urban Poor Groups

With the deepening of reform and opening up, Chinese economy develops quickly, the social transformation has intensified. The inevitable problem of city poverty appeared. Our government attaches great importance to it. In order to address the problem our government established the minimum living security system as the main body, the various special assistance and temporary assistance for the auxiliary system of social assistance to solve the urbane poverty. Social assistance policy gives city poverty group the national basic livelihood security rights. With the increasing of the system level, its role will continue to increase. However, throughout the implementation of the social assistance policy in our country belongs to an income maintenance system. It focused on the protection of life and emphasized the basic right to survival disadvantaged groups, but it mostly ignored the development of urban poor groups’self-reliance. So the rescue is passive, negative. It can’t help the recipient really out of poverty.In the implementation of the policy in Beijing, Guangzhou, Dalian, Chongqing and other areas realized that the current social assistance ignored the recipients’ self-reliance and development. So a series of changes appeared in the existing policy. The goverment made an active exploration in the aspects. Such as implementing the active employment policies, classifying recipients assistance, and appropriating extension of assistance fading. There are still some problems in exploration. Problems exist in both design unscientific of policy itself existing a negative effect of employment incentive, and targeting objects deviations and other issues, also including the region in the implementation of the policy to explore the existing classification system is imperfect, irrational decreased rescue time.In the United States, Britain, Germany and other developed countries, the social assistance system started earlier, after hundreds of thousands of years of development, these countries have set up a sound social assistance system. Through these countries,we can see that on the evolution of social relief policy, foreign social assistance program presents the diversification and takes different ways of relief for different poor groups. Establishing a positive relief philosophy, the poor work for welfare. Legal construction concept always runs through the social assistance system, every aid project rises to the legal level, every one in the working-age, able-bodied recipients must have the will of jobs. People are actively looking for work. The government strictly limited the recipients, at the same time,it also provides a lot of help for recipients to achieve independence. Through training, personal development planning and other projects, The government increases the poor’s employment ability to achieve target recipients toward self-reliance, and ultimately makes the poor truly out of poverty. Foreign advanced practices summarizes from the experiences and lessons under different historical background and continuously development change. The foreign urban poor groups of independence aid has played a certain reference significance in our country.By the end of the thesis, through the analysis of all over our country actively explore and the foreign advanced experience for reference, the thesis puts forward some suggestions for our country independent assistance’s development in the future.
