Study On The Social Relief System Of China's Urban Poor Population

As a worldwide issue, poverty problem inevitably exists around the world and is paid much attention by all countries, because it is related to social stability, national prosperity, and through it the level of a national economic development can be reflected. The status of solving poverty problem reflects the integrity of a national social relief system. Therefore, in all countries poverty problem and the solution of poverty problem are subject to the appropriate attention. Especially in developing countries and underdeveloped countries, poverty problem is more serious, and urban poverty problem has been paid unprecedented attention with the progress of social development. Determined by the level of economic development in China, China is still a developing country, and urban poverty problem has always existed within a certain range, the social relief system is not integrated because of many influence factors. Although with the national development and social progress, the people's livelihood is paid more and more attention by the whole society and the social relief system of the urban poor population is also gradually improved effectively, from the long term perspective there still exists some problems in the urban minimum living guarantee, housing, education, medical care of the poor population. The solution of these problems is related to the level of national economy and social prosperity and stability. Therefore, scholars have actively investigated poverty problem from different angles and provided a large number of theoretical basis and practical ways to solve poverty problem. So it has great theoretical and practical significance to study of China's urban social relief problem.In this thesis, based on the analysis of the status of China's urban poor population, characteristics, cause of poverty and the future development trend, and by comparing the large amounts of data with each other, the social relief system of China's urban poor population was investigated from all-around way, and the corresponding measures and proposals were brought forward by describing and analyzing all aspects of the social relief system of China's urban poor population.The full-text is divided into four main parts:The first part is the theoretical basis. In this part, the background and significance of this study, relevant theories and the major research methods are introduced, and the concepts involved in this thesis were defined, such as absolute poverty, relative poverty, poor population and social relief. In this part, the summary of the related studies at home and abroad also are included. At present, the domestic researches on poor population are mainly in the following three aspects: (1) to determine measurement standards of poverty problem; (2) to study the scale of poor population; and (3) to investigate the minimum living guarantee system of urban poor population. While abroad there are the following several viewpoints: structuralist poverty view, conflict poverty view, poverty culture theory, poverty trap theory, and poverty cycle and transfer theory.The second part is the data analysis. In this part, based on the two aspects of the poverty causes and development trends of China's urban poor population, and by comparing and analyzing the large amounts of data, the scale of China's urban poor population, living conditions and needs, distribution and composition of China's urban poor population are all investigated in detail, and the status and characteristics of China's urban poor population are described. By above analysis this result can be obtained that in the future development of China's urban poor population, relative poverty will be the main component of poverty, and absolute poverty still exists within a certain range.The third part is the analysis of the social relief system of China's urban poor population. Through the development process and the status of the social relief system of China's urban poor population described in detail, we can obtain that in the social relief system of China's urban poor population there are still many aspects requiring to be improved, the inadequate social relief system influences the national economic development and social stability, and impedes the building of a harmonious society.The fourth part is the countermeasures and proposals to improve the social relief system of China's urban poor population. The countermeasures and proposals include: to improve the minimum living guarantee system of China's urban poor population; to improve the educational and medical relief system of China's urban poor population; and to improve the housing relief system and other relief policies of China's urban poor population.Finally, the parts mentioned above are summarized. The conclusion shows that the social relief system of China's urban poor population is inadequate and needs to be improved. Thus to solve this problem, the Government should take practical policies dependent on the actual conditions to establish and improve the social relief system of China's urban poor population.
