China's absolute poverty relief system in the main selection

Looking at the countries of the world's absolute poor relief system, most countries have adopted the minimum subsistence guarantee system for the structure. Moreover, China's cities and towns in the area and a small number of better economic conditions in rural areas is also being implemented in cities and towns (rural) residents of the lowest living security system, and achieved obvious results. As a result, absolute poverty relief in the light of international experience, taking into account the current "low" system of convergence, in our absolute poverty relief system can also choose to take the minimum livelihood guarantee system for urban and rural areas as the main body of institutional arrangements. However, that needs to be noted that the international relief of absolute poverty from the content point of view often include life, health, education, housing, labor, employment and many aspects, such as funerary relief from a system point of view the structure also contains basic relief And non-basic level, and other relief. On the other hand, and China's current system of minimum living relief content (generally limited to the relief of life) and the structure of the system (only the basic-level relief) of a single, and the result is a system of real security is ineffective. As a result, China's absolute poverty relief in the legislation, our country may wish to existing urban minimum living standard security system modeled on that of its institutional framework for sound, that is, in accordance with the international institutional framework, the minimum subsistence guarantee system for urban and rural areas classified as "essential Relief of life "and" Additional relief of life "and the" exceptional circumstances relief, "the three major sections.

The "basic relief", including the poor to meet basic survival needs, that is mainly used to solve real-life "to eat" (food), "wear" (clothing), "" (miscellaneous day-to-day use) and " "(Traffic), the cost of basic necessities of daily life. In general, this is the minimum living guarantee the most basic level, that is, each enjoying the approval of the people living in absolute poverty relief should be able to enjoy the "capital at the end of" treatment. "Additional relief of life" is based on the actual survival of the poor needs to give some relief, which often include medical, maternity, disability or life care (such as the special general for the sick and elderly poor), education, housing, employment, as well as Funeral and so on. The plate is not directly used to solve the basic living area, but the living conditions and basic needs for survival are closely related. "Exceptional circumstances relief" is a number of special poverty relief groups or special circumstances of the poor, which is before an important supplement to the two plates.

In the specific operational procedures, would like to stress that poverty relief is a key link - the family economic situation in the investigation. Reference to international experience and China's actual situation, we can apply for the qualification review of the links on the design of individual applications accepted institutions, investigations, community proves that the Government's approval of the five essential steps.

4. China's absolute poverty relief fund-raising and management mechanism

Financing and management is the core issue of poverty relief. According to international rules, for the absolute poverty relief funds from the general government financial burden, the requirements included in the budget at the same time in the central and local governments at all levels of the (financial) between the classification by a certain percentage of the burden.

In the source of funds, the Western countries in general by a special tax to raise funds, such as Britain have imposed on the history of the special "poor tax" from the affluent areas of taxation and subsidies to poverty-stricken areas. Through tax financing in the form of absolute poverty relief funds, also embodies the essence of modern society with the assistance of the nature of the redistribution of national income. In addition, personal income tax, consumption tax, such as luxury taxes are also modern conditioning gap between rich and poor countries, to achieve an effective means of social equity. As a result, our country should take based on personal income tax, the levy of consumption tax in this luxury train of thought to resolve the absolute poverty relief fund-raising issues. At the same time, Western countries, the practice of social security also showed that personal income tax revenue represents about 30% of this coincides with the proportion of social security expenditure total expenditure ratio of 20% to 30% of the match. In this way, China's local governments may be in absolute poverty relief in the practice of using personal income tax as the main support of the minimum subsistence guarantee system for the major financial resources (according to our current tax system, personal income tax is levied on local taxes).

Governments at all levels in the financial capital ratio, for the protection of absolute poverty relief to protect the effect of China's absolute poverty relief legislation might also clear that the central, provincial, (to) the municipal, county (district) level four government Financial and investment between the ratio. Under the current tax system at all levels of government under the Financial Comparative financial strength, as well as governments at all levels in absolute poverty relief in the size of the liability, and taking into account the international practice, we recommend that the central, provincial, city and county levels of financial investment The ratio of 2:3:3:2, in principle, for, so as to achieve better levels of government in absolute poverty relief, "say" and "property rights" balance.

Absolute poverty relief fund much-needed relief for the poor, it is their "life insurance money," and therefore must be managed strictly in accordance with the law, to ensure that used for other purposes. At the same time, should establish a corresponding mechanism for supervision and management, the audit departments should strengthen audit and supervision. In the course of the operation of the Fund, should take advantage of modern information management system to achieve the information into the open, transparent operation in order to facilitate the public opinion and public supervision.
