On Social Security Of Land-expropriated Peasants In The Course Of Transition

With the rapid development of urbanization, there are a large amount of land-expropriated peasants. It is reasonable and lawful for the land-expropriated peasants to get proper compensation. But, in reality, they have not yet got the basic security. The land-expropriated peasants not only suffer a great loss during the land-expropriation, but also meet with such a series of social problems as employment,medical treatment,housing,retirement and so on. And the lack of the institution of the social security will greatly weaken its sustainable development. This thesis analyses the land-expropriated peasants' problems which are not caused by the peasants themselves. These problems, caused by the passive expropriation of land on the guidance of government, are the results of the transformation of social economic structure and are unlikely to be solved by the exertion of the peasants themselves. Therefore, it is the government that should take the responsibility to play a key role in the establishment of the institution of the social security for the land-expropriated peasants. This thesis begins with the loss of the land-expropriated peasants' interests, focuses on discussing the institution and the conduct of government, points out the importance and urgency of solving the security problem of land-expropriated peasants, and puts forward the corresponding solutions to the institution innovation and the limitation of the rights and the government's accountability.This thesis consists of 7 chapters.
