我国城市低保制度的回顾、问题及政策选择

Review,Problems and Policy Choice of Minimal Assurance System in Cities of Our Country

城市居民最低生活保障制度是政府为保障城市贫困人群的基本生活设立的一项重要社会救助制度,历经二十年的发展,已经硕果累累,在保障城市贫困群体基本生活,维护社会稳定方面作出了突出贡献。但目前我国城市低保制度还是存在许多问题,包括:对象识别不够准确,保障标准偏低且缺乏弹性,财政投入不合理,低保管理中退出机制不完善、管理队伍不专业、管理部门权力受限,等等。为此,必须规范低保申请人资格审核制度、科学设计城市低保标准、完善低保资金筹集机制、积极推进有劳动能力的低保人群就业、完善低保管理工作能力建设。

City minimal assurance system is one of the important social assistance systems to safeguard the livelihood of urban poor groups. It has made great achievements in protecting urban poor population and maintaining social stability for twenty years of development. But there are still many problems. Object recognition is not accurate enough. The minimum living security line is low and lack of flexibility. Financial investment is not reasonable. Poor management of exit mechanism is imperfect. Management team is not professional and the management power is limited.etc. Therefore, we must standardize qualification audit system, design the standard scientifically, improve the management of low fund-raising mechanism, and take active measures to help the poor groups who have labor ability to get jobs and improve management capability.
