Study On The Subsistence Allowances In Rural Areas Of Fujian Province

In 2015,General Secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee Xi Jinping put forward the requirement of “a batch of minimum living allowance policies” in Guizhou Province.The report of the Nineteenth National Congress regards precise poverty alleviation as one of the three key battles.It points out that it is the solemn commitment of the Party and the government to lift the poor and poor areas out of poverty by 2020 and to enter a well-off society in and all-round way with the people of the whole country.Since the reform and opening up,Fujian Province has made tremendous achievements in economic and social development,with its total economic growth multiples and ascending order ranking the highest in the country.However,the income gap among different regions,industries and groups has remained at a high level for a long time,and even has a trend of further expansion.Fujian Provincial Committee and Government have always attached importance to people’s livelihood.Facing the growing gap between the rich and the poor,Fujian Province took the lead in establishing the rural minimum living security system in2004.The purpose of this paper is to analyze the role of the minimum living standard in Fujian rural areas in poverty alleviation,as well as the existing shortcomings,and put forward policy recommendations,which has a certain theoretical and practical significance.Based on the theory of “the basic needs of food and clothing andguaranteeing compulsory education,basic medical care and housing” as the criterion to judge whether the rural poverty alleviation with low living standard has achieved success or not,this paper takes the ability of rural poverty alleviation with low living standard in Fujian Province as the main research object,and takes “the idea of social policy as the theoretical basis”,through literature analysis and interviews,consults relevant research papers,various professional books and a large number of relevant data of Fujian Province and municipalities,and so on.On the basis of theoretical explanation and conceptual analysis,this paper reviews the effectiveness of rural low-income insurance in Fujian Province,and concludes that the large gap in county financial income results in a large gap in low-income standards in rural areas between counties,the difficulty in defining family income standards,the difficulty in rescuing expenditure-oriented poor families,and the division of labor among departments,leading to poverty alleviation.On the basis of these problems,this paper puts forward some policy suggestions to improve the rural minimum living allowance system in Fujian Province,such as poor linking up with the minimum living allowance system,shortage of manpower,low relief capacity of basic-level low living allowance agencies,long-term absence of social organizations and insufficient participation of social forces in the minimum living allowance system and so on.We should narrow the gap of county-level minimum livingstandard and realize the integration of urban and rural minimum living standard in the whole province;innovate the accounting method of low living standard families’ income so as to expand the bottom target from income-type poverty to expenditure-type poverty;strengthen the coordination among departments to realize the effective link between low living standard and poverty alleviation development;innovate the relief methods and actively guide social organizations to engage in rural social assistance affairs through government purchases.
