Ethic Analysis Of Our Low-rent Housing Policy Based On Social Security Thoughts Of Amartya·Sen

Different from the traditional way of equal development as the economic growing, Amartya-Sen considered development as the achievement of one’s capacity. Under this development idea, our social security should concerns more about the substance of the person’s freedom and comprehensive development, namely advocating a friendly development pattern, emphasizing the development ethics concerns, regarding social security as a public campaign, improving the capacity as the foundation of social security. In housing security sector, low----rent housing policy is considered as the basis form of the indemnificatory apartments system, which is filled with social welfare color and is the key point of social security.However, we cannot take it only as a charity to those vulnerable groups, that is, resolve their live problem simply by providing rent subsidies or poor condition housing. Instead, we should take into account of their security standards, residential environment, and living level as well. In fact, our low----rent housing policy still follows the traditional way of equal development as the economic growing, taking security only as one kind of means to alleviate social contradictions by keeping vulnerable groups’survival by the simple charity.During the implement of the policy, many ethics flaw are exposed continually:single security standards based on "survival logic" led to extremely ignorance to the life quality of object; the effect of low----rent housing label will aggravate the vulnerable groups "weak sense"; charitable welfare housing security mode is lacking of necessary concerning of rights; the failure as a public action put the low----rent housing policy into a "dilemma". The gap between theory and practice gives us a direction for seeking solution. Combining with the thought of Amartya-Sen, the article pertinently put forward the four ideas to improve our country’s low----rent housing policy:transform from survival logic to life logic, calling for security ethics concerning; tamp the foundation of social security, improving of the capacity; construct of support housing security mode to meet the needs and rights; expand social security public action, integrating the power of low----rent housing policy.
