Realize the bottom line to ensure poverty alleviation
my country has built a well-off society in an all-round way.
This marks a new level of our country’s development and people’s living standards.
"In the historical process of building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way, civil affairs work has undertaken the basic and basic tasks of social construction, fulfilling the responsibilities of basic people's livelihood security, grassroots social governance, and basic social services," said Li Jiheng, Minister of Civil Affairs.
In recent years, civil affairs departments at all levels have made great efforts to build a well-off society in an all-round way, and strive to make the overall well-off society more satisfactory and of higher quality.
Li Jiheng summarized the historical achievements made by the civil affairs departments into three aspects: one is to secure the bottom line of people’s livelihood and to help the masses of people in special difficulties enter a well-off society at the same time; the second is to innovate grassroots social governance and promote the people's joint construction, co-governance and sharing; Expand and improve basic social services, and continue to meet people's expectations for a better life.
The first point is particularly interesting.
It is understood that for the rural poor, the civil affairs departments have done their best to fight and concentrate their efforts. By the end of 2017, all counties (cities, districts, and banners) across the country will achieve or dynamically exceed the national poverty alleviation standards. 19.36 million poor people will be reached by the end of 2020. Incorporate the minimum living guarantee or special hardship support to realize all-round protection for poverty alleviation.
Since then, we will continue to do a good job of normalizing assistance and tighten the system of defense against returning to poverty.
For people with basic living difficulties, we will improve the social assistance system covering urban and rural areas and stratified and classified.
As of the end of 2020, 44.259 million people have been included in the urban and rural subsistence allowances, and the average security standards have increased by 105.3% and 188.3% respectively over the end of 2012.
4.774 million people were included in the support of urban and rural extremely poor people.
In 2020, 13.806 million people will be provided with temporary assistance.
For special groups such as orphans, the disabled, and left-behind people in rural areas, a comprehensive security system for children in difficulties has been established. As of the end of 2020, the national average security standard for intensive parenting of orphans will reach 1611.3 yuan/person/month, and the average security standard for scattered orphans in the society will reach 1184.3 yuan/ Person/month, an increase of 65.77% and 68.46% respectively over 2012.
Starting in 2020, 254,000 unaccompanied children will be included in the national guarantee for the first time.
In 2016, the living subsidy for the disabled and the nursing subsidy system for the severely disabled were fully established. By the end of 2020, 12.14 million and 14.751 million were benefited respectively.
A care and service system for left-behind children, women and the elderly in rural areas has been generally established.
At the same time, take the initiative to provide assistance to people in special difficulties affected by the epidemic and natural disasters to help them tide over the difficulties and smoothly realize a well-off society in an all-round way.
Increased rural minimum living standards
The civil affairs department has completed the task of guaranteeing poverty alleviation with high quality.
Nowadays, all counties (cities, districts) in the country have dynamically met or exceeded the national poverty alleviation standards for rural subsistence allowances, and all eligible poor people have been included in the scope of insurance coverage, which can be said to have achieved all guarantees.
A total of 19.36 million registered poverty-stricken people in the country were included in the minimum living guarantee system or the extremely poor support system, accounting for about one-fifth of the overall poverty-stricken population. The party Central Committee has successfully completed the major political tasks of the Party Central Committee to ensure that the civil affairs departments fight poverty.
Even under the influence of various factors such as the epidemic situation, disaster conditions, and price increases, the basic livelihoods of the affected people in difficulty are still effectively guaranteed.
Wang Aiwen introduced that the Ministry of Civil Affairs has adjusted and intensively introduced social assistance policies and measures in a timely manner to guide localities in the timely and full distribution of assistance funds, timely launch social assistance and security standards linked to rising prices, and moderately expand subsistence allowances, special hardship support and temporary assistance. The scope of assistance includes the provision of a one-time temporary assistance to unemployed persons who have difficulties in living and have not participated in unemployment insurance.
By the end of last year, a total of 28.5 billion yuan in additional living allowances and price subsidies had been issued to people in need, such as those in need of subsistence allowances and those in extreme poverty.
The social assistance system has also been reformed and improved accordingly.
The Ministry of Civil Affairs has made a series of combined punches: it has introduced relevant policies and measures, promoted the establishment of a sound hierarchical and classified social assistance system, and improved the minimum living security system, including the severely ill and severely disabled persons in the marginal families of the subsistence allowance according to the "single-person households". "Incorporating the subsistence allowance is equivalent to "one person, one policy"; further improve the assistance and support system for extremely poor people, appropriately expand the types and levels of disability for extremely poor people who are unable to work, relax the identification conditions in these areas, and increase the number of people with disabilities who have difficulties in life. And minors are included in the scope of system protection; further strengthen the function of temporary assistance, and comprehensively establish a temporary assistance reserve fund system. The reserve fund is placed in towns and towns. The people can get assistance in time when they encounter difficulties, including small-amount first-aid assistance, which is solved in time Sudden and urgent life difficulties of the people in need.
The level of social assistance security is also steadily improving.
According to Wang Aiwen, since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the central government and finances at all levels have continuously increased capital investment. The national minimum urban subsistence allowance has increased from 330.1 yuan per person per month to the current 694 yuan, an increase of 1.1 times.
The rural minimum living standard has increased from 2068 yuan per person per year to the current 6,150 yuan, an increase of 1.97 times.
Judging from this figure, the rate of increase in the minimum living standard in rural areas is much faster than that in urban areas, which ensures that all kinds of people in difficulties can better share the achievements of building a well-off society in an all-round way.
20 million rescuers
For some groups with special difficulties, such as vagrants and beggars, the civil affairs department has also carried out a lot of pragmatic work in the process of building a well-off society in an all-round way.
The Deputy Minister of Civil Affairs Zhan Chengfu told a story: "One night last winter, the weather was very cold. After I got home from work, I still felt colder. So I called Comrade Li Wanjun, the director of the Beijing Municipal Civil Affairs Bureau, and said about the weather this evening. It’s so cold, in case there are vagrants and beggars who are frozen to death or even freeze to death, that’s a big problem. Comrade Li Wanjun replied to me, “Don’t worry, our city has been prepared based on the weather forecast a few days ago. We have already started street inspections. Tonight, all of our rescuers will continue to patrol and rescue the streets, especially in the culvert under the bridge to see if there are any missing personnel.' I went to the Ministry of Social Affairs. Colleagues asked about the situation in Hebei and Tianjin. They said that the cold winter weather rescue plan has been launched in both places."
Zhan Chengfu said, "Our system is full of the glory of human nature." The system Zhan Chengfu said is the rescue management system for vagrants and beggars.
The salient feature of this system is that the government takes the initiative to provide assistance, and the rescued people receive voluntary assistance.
Statistics from the Ministry of Civil Affairs show that since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, nearly 20 million vagrant and beggars have been rescued nationwide, effectively ensuring their basic lives and personal safety.
In recent years, the number of vagrants and beggars has shown a clear downward trend. For example, in 2013, more than 3.48 million people were rescued, but only 830,000 people were saved last year.
"This reflects the results of building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way from one aspect. It shows that the people's lives are better, the state has taken good care of groups in special difficulties, and there are fewer and fewer vagrants and beggars. As the lead department of this business, we do What should be done is mainly to improve the system and mechanism, improve the service quality and use modern means to find relatives, so that more stray and lost people can return home as soon as possible. At present, there are 1,555 rescue and management stations nationwide to provide assistance to vagrants and beggars. Service." Zhan Chengfu said.
As the weather turns cooler, the Ministry of Civil Affairs will do more and more refined services in the work of vagrants and begging.
Zhan Chengfu revealed that on the one hand, it is to improve the work quality of the rescue station. On the other hand, it relies on the support of the public security, environmental sanitation and other departments, as well as the help of various aspects of the society, including various media, to publicize this knowledge so that more vagrants and beggars can gain access. The care of the society and the help of the government.
