Study On Social Security Policy Of Truman Administration’s Veterans

Veterans are a special group.How to properly settle the veterans is a matter of great concern to all countries in the world,which bears on the overall situation of military stability and national defense consolidation.In terms of resettlement work,the United States is a model of success.After the end of world war Ⅱ,the first problem facing the U.S.government is the resettlement of more than 10 million veterans.In view of the post-war domestic economic transformation and the social problems caused by demobilization,the Truman administration urgently needed to take effective measures.Moreover,the Truman administration was in an important stage of the comprehensive development of the American social security system.Thus,on the basis of the early social security policy,the Truman administration created a new postwar adjustment policy that balanced economic compensation and social benefits,aiming to help veterans successfully transition to civilian life and make up for lost education,jobs and other opportunities.The Truman administration’s security policies for veterans include education and training,civil service preference,life insurance,housing security,monetary benefits,and other protections.Although the social security policy of the Truman administration is deficient,its formulation and implementation still have practical significance.This safeguard policy not only promoted the expansion prosperity of the post-war American economy,but also played a great role in the post-war American educational concept and construction industry.It not only maintained social stability and consolidated state power,but also solved the unemployment problem after the war.In short,the Truman administration’s social security policy for veterans provided an example for the world to solve such problems.
