Promote the Co-ordination of Urban and Rural Differences in the Minimum Living Security System under the Perspective of Common Prosperity

Abstract

The minimum living standard security system is considered to be the "last safety net" of China's social security system, which plays a vital role in protecting citizens' basic right to subsistence and promoting social fairness and justice. At present, there are still large differences between China's minimum living security system between urban and rural areas, and this difference is mainly reflected in the level of treatment, fund raising, management system, etc, which affects the overall development. This paper proposes that measures such as scientifically coordinating the minimum guarantee standards for urban and rural residents, broadening the channels for raising funds, unifying the urban and rural minimum security management institutions, and integrating the operating mechanism should be adopted to narrow the gap between urban and rural areas and promote the overall development of the urban and rural minimum living security system.
