Study On The Measurement Of The Target Effect Of Rural Subsistence Allowance And The Countermeasures To Improve It

With the completion of the target task of poverty eradication in the new era by 2020,China has achieved a decisive victory in the battle against poverty,and the problem of absolute poverty has been solved.In the new stage of "consolidating and expanding the achievements of poverty eradication",rural low income insurance needs to continue to play a good role in covering the bottom.Targeting is a key aspect of the implementation of the rural low income insurance scheme.Improving targeting can enable the truly poor groups to enjoy the low income insurance policy,and improving the "targeting rate" and reducing the "wrong coverage rate and missing coverage rate" will promote social equity and more efficient use of assistance resources.However,there are still some problems in targeting.There are also limitations in the summary of the causes of bias in the targeting of rural under-insurance in existing studies,which makes the improvement of countermeasures less comprehensive.In terms of academic research,there is still a shortage of research on identifying rural under-insurance targeting.In view of this,this paper focuses on the measurement of targeting effects and the improvement of countermeasures for rural under-insurance recipients.Based on the above-mentioned background,this paper conducts an in-depth study based on the sustainable livelihood theory,multidimensional poverty theory,and Smith’s policy implementation model by compiling the literature on targeting methods,aiming effectiveness evaluation,causes of targeting bias,and improvement measures of rural low income security and other related assistance systems.First,the sample households were divided into four categories based on the aiming effectiveness of the sample: target households that received assistance,target households that did not receive assistance,non-target households that received assistance,and non-target households that did not receive assistance.Second,using CHARLS 2018 data,targeting rates,mis-insurance rates,and missed insurance rates were calculated for the whole country and the East,Central,and West regions under the income and livelihood dimensions.It is found that both dimensions of the measures show that there is missed insurance and wrong insurance of rural low income insurance.Based on this,Smith’s policy implementation model is applied to further analyze the causes of deviations through interviews: the policy itself includes poor operability of identification criteria and inadequate supporting systems;the implementation subject includes difficulties in operating the investigation mechanism,weakness of civil affairs teams,invisible work pressure passed by relevant supervision and complaint departments,and insufficient funding for work;the implementation object includes farmers’ dishonesty and The object of implementation includes the dishonesty and "profit-seeking" behavior of farmers,the reluctance of some farmers to bear the "welfare stigma" of low income insurance,and the weak awareness of farmers’ participation;the environmental factors include the constraints of clan and family power and the deep-rooted traditional concepts of villages.Finally,the following countermeasures are proposed to improve the aiming effect: first,strengthen the implementation of institutions,including improving the investigation mechanism,strengthening the construction of grassroots teams,and increasing financial investment;second,improve the cost of breach of trust and the participation awareness of low income insurance recipients,including increasing the cost of irregularities and dishonesty,deconstructing the stigmatized image of rural low income insurance,and improving the participation awareness of rural low income insurance recipients;third,scientifically formulate the rural low income insurance policy,including scientifically determining the low income insurance standard and enhancing the awareness of dynamic management.The fourth is to improve the policy implementation environment,including strengthening supervision and promoting the change of customs and traditions.
