补缺型社会福利——中国社会福利制度改革的新选择

Residual Welfare——New Choice for China’s Social Welfare Reform

以自由主义思潮为理论基础,以维护市场经济正常运转为主要目标,以选择性支付为给付原则的补缺型社会福利制度既满足了社会成员对基本福利的需求,维护了社会稳定,又减轻了政府的财政压力,增强了经济发展的活力。因而应该成为中国社会福利制度改革的目标取向。具体而言,在新型社会福利制度的构建过程中,政府不仅要运用有限的资源构筑一道完善的应对社会风险的安全网,而且要重视家庭和市场的作用,积极引导社会成员从家庭和市场获取社会福利。

Based on the analysis of residual welfare and China＇s situation, residual welfare should become the aim Of China＇ social welfare reform. Specifically speaking, in building the new social welfare system, the government should use the limited resources to construct a safety net which can deal with the social risk consummately and make every one benefit from it. People can avoid plunging into despairs by getting help from the country and the society when there are social risks. Meanwhile, the country and the society should pay more attention to the function of the family and market, and also should show people how to gain welfare from the family and market actively.
