In China, the necessity-oriented social assistance has made its tremendous achievements during the past decades, in governing the poverty among the poor without labor capacity, especially it has helped more 600 million population went out poverty in the past 3 decades, which manifest the superiority of socialism. While, with rural economy structure, peasants’ income structure, living risks and rural social security has changed in our important periods for social transform, deepening reform, urbanization, and agriculture modernization, poverty reveals its new features. Traditional definition for poverty and poverty relief has lagged behind the poverty status. Nowadays, prominent expenditure for serious diseases, children education and emergencies is the main factor for rural poverty; however the temporary assistance is not perfect enough to encounter these problems. These expenditure-oriented poverty cannot be solved though necessity-oriented social assistance policies, which will lead the poverty intergenerational transmission. In the long run, it is urgent to optimize the system by preventable interventions. The essence of develop-oriented social assistance is to improve the poor’s anti-risks capacity. Necessity-oriented social assistance is a kind of compensatory policy, which makes the people survives in the circle of “low income –low consumption—high risks”, thus the develop-oriented social assistance need a new point—Asset.
