“主动低保”与城市居民最低生活保障制度“身份化”

Active Minimum Living Standard and the Identification of Subsistence Allowances for Urban Resident

城市居民最低生活保障制度(以下简称"城市低保制度")是维护我国社会和谐稳定,保障城市居民基本生活的"最后一道安全网",它建立的初衷是保障城市贫困居民最基本的生活需要,但随着制度的不断演进与扩展,各种非预期后果也纷至沓来,其中,"主动低保"成为了各界讨论的焦点。"主动低保"是在"城市低保制度"发展过程中异化而来的一种非正常现象,造成这种现象的原因复杂,但城市居民最低生活保障制度"身份化"(以下简称低保"身份化")无疑是这一现象的"助推器",在某些地区甚至成为了诱发"主动低保"现象的的主要原因。

The subsistence allowances for urban resident is the last protection for social stability and the basic living. The original intention of its establishment was to guarantee the basic living of the urban poor. Along with the development and expansion of the system, all kinds of unexpected consequences have been emerging. One of them called active minimum living standard is brought into spotlight. Active minimum living standard which has dissimilated from the system of subsistence allowances for urban resident is an abnormal phenomenon. But the identification of subsistence allowances for urban resident is a catalyst to it without doubt. It even has become the main cause of active minimum living standard in some area.
