| Summary: | This paper reviews the forty-year development of the social assistance
system in China and discovers that under the leadership of the Chinese
government, the basic framework of the social assistance system has taken
shape and become a proud image of China’s social security system’s reform
and development. The development of the social assistance system in China
demonstrates the bottom-line thinking of state governance and its multi-tiered,
cross-sector and community-focused characteristics. At its present stage of
growth the social assistance system is actively developing multiple means of
assistance and will be based on the objective of “supporting the vulnerable.” |
