Ministry of Civil Affairs: How to ensure basic living?

Insisting on safeguarding and improving people's livelihood in development has pointed out the direction and provided basic follow-up for doing a good job in people's livelihood in the new era. Improving people's livelihood and well-being is the fundamental purpose of development. To do the work of people's livelihood, we must first have feelings for the people, seek more benefits for people's livelihood, solve more worries about people's livelihood, fill the shortcomings of people's livelihood in development, and promote social fairness and justice.

To protect the basic livelihood, it is most important to support the bottom line. The living conditions of low-income groups, orphans, poor people and other special groups reflect the bottom line level of people's livelihood security. We must adhere to the people-oriented principle and firmly grasp the bottom line of people's livelihood. Civil affairs departments should give full play to the supporting role of social assistance and other policies, effectively protect the basic needs of the masses, keep the bottom line of people's livelihood security, and keep the red line of social harmony and stability.

Social assistance policies, such as subsistence allowances, are important institutional arrangements to ensure the basic livelihood of people in need and maintain the fairness of the social bottom line, and are the last line of defense against poverty. For the poor people who have partially or completely lost their ability to work and cannot get rid of poverty through industrial support and employment assistance, they must rely on policy protection.
