Research On The Application Object Of The Rural Minimum Living Security Guarantee System In Gansu Province

Since the establishment of the rural minimum living security system in China in 2007,the rural subsistence allowance system,after 12 years of development and operation,has formed a relatively complete system to achieve its goal of ensuring the basic needs of the villagers,maintaining social stability and promoting social development.In the 19 th National Congress of the Communist Party of China,the Party Central Committee took the fight against poverty as one of the three major tough battles to build a well-off society in an all-round way.Therefore,the accurate identification of poor families is the primary task of carrying out the fight against poverty.Besides,to ensure the task of poverty alleviation be completed on time,the role of rural minimum living security assistance should be given full play in this fight.The realization of the above policy objectives depends on the accurate identification of the rural minimum living security target.Only by accurately identifying the recipients of the rural subsistence allowances can the basic living standard of the truly poor families be guaranteed,the subsistence relief resources can be applied to those in need of them,and benefits of the subsistence resources can be maximized.However,whening carrying out the rural minimum living security policy,the targeted recipient of the system failed to be clearly identified due to various reasons,which undermines the effective implementation of the system.Therefore,it is urgent and pressing for us to accurately identify the recipients of the rural subsistence allowance system and improve the targeting efficiency of the subsistence allowances.To address the problem,the reporter conducted field research on seven counties(districts)in Gansu Province and gained relevant data from the survey.By investigating the implementation of rural minimum living security system these regions and taking advantage of theoretical analysis tools including sociological and economic tools,the reporter panalyzes the minimum living security system targeting issue in this paper.Firstly,the survey data of 7 counties(districts)are analyzed to understand the basic characteristics of rural low-income families.According to the survey data,the current rural subsistence allowances in Gansu Province mainly targets the households or the family members with disabilities,major diseases or chronic diseases,the most of which are old people.Secondly,the implementation situation of the rural minimum security system in Gansu Province is demonstrated in the paper.The data obtained through the questionnaire shows that rural residents have little understanding of the minimum living security policy.And more than half believe that the current minimum living allowance could sustain the basic life and more than 70% of the respondents hold that the amout of subsistence allowance needs to be improved.Moreover,more than half of the low income households regard the subsistence allowance approval process as reasonable.Having a basic idea of the implementation of the rural subsistence allowances and the feedback from the benificiaries,the reporter concludes the problems existed in minimum living security system targeting into the following three types.The first type of problem rests with the policy making mechanism.For instance,the laws,regulations and the cooperation mechanism among relevant departments are not well-established.And the standards for categorizing subsistence allowance are unclear.The second problem relates with the institutions that carry out the policy.For instance,it is difficult to carry out the investigation into this system.Besides,the dynamic management of the subsistence allowance is not standardized and the work force at community level is inadequate.The third problem relates to targeting group of the policy.The policy targeted civilians lack understanding of the subsistence allowance policy and have no awareness of democratic participation.Thirdly,under the guidance of logistic binary regression,the reporter analyze the influence of the five factors —the gender,the degree of education,the number of family members,the health of family members,and the intimacy of relatives and friends—on receiving subsistence relief.Finally,through the analysis in previous chapters,the reporter proposes some suggestions regarding the rural minimum living security system by combining the literature research results with practical experience and.That is,to speed up the construction of the economic check platform for the subsistence allowance family,to optimize the management system and process for targeted people of minimum living security system.
