Study On Financial Support Of Shanghai Rural Minimum Living Security

As one of the social protection projects guaranteeing rural low-income groups, rural minimum living security is a basic livelihood project, which relates to the problem of man’s existence and development, social harmonious development. With the development of social economy, the measure standard of poverty evolves from absolute poverty to relative poverty. Therefore, in the executing process of the institution, it not only supports man’s basic physiological requirements, but also lets poor groups have opportunities to receive education, take medical care, social activities and so on. The purpose is to let those people live with dignity. Shanghai is one of the earliest implementation of regional of rural minimum living security system. The development of the system is obvious, but it still lacks an effective evaluation mechanism of input and output analysis. If we want to know whether the system works well or properly, we need establish a performance evaluation system to make sure correct value orientation and find problems arising from the implementation process, then make reasonable adjustment and provide the basis and suggestion for the government to improve the implementation of the rural minimum living security system in the future.Based on the above purpose, this paper summarizes the existing literature and focus on using the corresponding theoretical models to test the system implementation effect from the points of low standard, replenishment ratio, fiscal burden of rural minimum living security. All the work can provide an operable method for institutional evaluation. This paper is divided into five parts. The first part briefly describes the background and significance of the study, the relevant concepts, reviews the basic theories and researches of minimum living security system at home and abroad, and introduces the research methods, framework, innovation and deficiencies of this article. The second part introduces the historical process of Shanghai Rural Minimum Living security system, scale of rescue, the level of assistance and other aspects. Furthermore, I combine with national data of rural poverty in 2013 to compare and analyze Shanghai current operating condition of the rural minimum living security. The third part of the paper mainly analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of different methods to measure poverty, eventually I choose to use improved Martin Act and set up two theoretical minimum living standards in rural areas to compare the actual standard. At the same time, based on the different minimum living standards, I use POVCAL software which is designed by the World Bank to measure the theoretical coverage rate of poverty population. The fourth part elaborates the suitability of financial support. At first, by measuring the consumption and income replacement rate under different standards, we can make a comparative analysis of rural minimum living guarantee security level, and observe the financial burden rates caused by the theoretical standards. Secondly, based on the optimal model of financial expenditure, it will deduce the best financial expenditure proportion of rural minimum living security. By calculating the deviation, we can know the strength of financial support. The fifth part is a summary of the above analysis and some relevant policy recommendations.The study finds that the operation effect of Shanghai rural minimum living security is above the national level at present. It has higher minimum standard than other provinces, which can solve the food and clothing problems of the rural poor, but we need catch attention of the lower bailout rate and financial investment. From the perspective of the development of Shanghai rural living security system, the update rate of the policies are very fast and the content of the policies are comparatively consummate. The bailout gradually decreases year by year, and the elderly and disabled are the focus of aid. The minimum standard after 2010 has a large growth increase. The proportion of the rural financial expenditure has not changed a lot in the past seven years, but some of suburban districts bear great financial pressure. By comparing the theoretical and practical standards, the analysis conclusion is that the basic minimum standard is better than the actual one from the replacement rate and relief effects, but there is still large distance from development-oriented standard. Two lines of the design are more conducive to combating poverty issues. About the issue of appropriate financial expenditure, the scale of financial input in rural living security is currently not suited to the development of the social and economic, and there is a certain fund gap, so the government need adjust the financial support of rural subsistence allowances. Based on the above analysis, I have some suggestions about it. For instance, setting up scientific methods, mixing financial mechanism and policy evaluation mechanism, perfecting the system of minimum living security and the anti-poverty policy, and so on.
