Description:

From poverty alleviation and living security to increasing energy, employment and reducing welfare dependence, the concept, content, standard and focus of social assistance have been changing with the development of the economy and society. Now, social assistance has evolved from safeguarding people’s basic lives to improving the self-development ability of the recipients, encouraging employment, preventing and reducing welfare dependence. This book attempts to analyze the development of social assistance policies from the aspects of personal ability, assistance concept, system construction, etc., and explore and reveal the internal logic of the evolution of social assistance policies.
