How to solve the poverty problem in China? What laws have been promulgated? )

First, to further develop the economy and enhance its affordability is the fundamental way to solve the problem of poor old people. At present, China's national economy is growing at a rate of 7.8%, and it is predicted that it will maintain a sustained, rapid and healthy growth momentum by 20 10. However, on the whole, China is a developing country with weak comprehensive national strength, low per capita GNP and a considerable number of poor people. To solve the problems brought by the poverty of the elderly, the key point is to vigorously develop the economy and strive to expand its economic strength. Since the Ninth Five-Year Plan, according to the reality of Gannan, our city has innovated the development ideas, put forward Gannan's hope in "mountain", "road", "non-public economy", "foreign" (attracting investment) and "special", and established the "opening drive, private breakthrough, urban radiation and characteristic prosperity. With the spirit of "narrowing the gap, slightly surpassing, leading the way and striving for first-class", the whole city has done everything possible to mobilize the enthusiasm of cadres and the masses, increase investment, optimize the development environment, increase finance and farmers' income, and make economic and social development leap to a new level. 200 1 year, the city's GDP is 28.277 billion yuan; The total fiscal revenue is 2.335 billion yuan, of which the local fiscal revenue is 65.438+0.65 billion yuan, and the per capita net income of farmers is 265.438+0. 1.3 yuan. It is estimated that the city's GDP will exceed 30 billion yuan in 2002. The rapid economic development has fundamentally improved the production situation of the urban poor. By the end of 200 1, the annual per capita net income of poor people in the city has increased to 848 yuan, and the production and living conditions of poor elderly people have also improved significantly.

Second, it is an important guarantee to solve the problem of poor elderly people to build a pension model and system that conforms to the actual situation of cities and counties. Under the condition of underdeveloped economy, we are facing an aging population. At present, we are still in the transition stage from family old-age security to social old-age security, especially in rural areas. It will take a long time to establish a perfect social old-age security system, which is still in the exploration stage. We can't copy the western high welfare policy from cradle to grave. We can only proceed from our own actual situation, seek truth from facts, reform and innovate, do what we can and choose our own path. According to the current reality of our city, first, improve the urban old-age security system, include all the elderly whose actual income in cities and towns is lower than the minimum living security line, and pay the minimum security fund; In rural areas, it is necessary to adhere to the principle of giving priority to family pension and giving priority to social pension, improve the social relief and "five guarantees" support system, constantly improve the rural cooperative medical system, and explore various forms of rural medical security system. The second is to expand the coverage of "minimum living allowance", gradually realize that "minimum living allowance" covers all towns and rural areas, and gradually raise the standard of "minimum living allowance" with economic development. The third is to establish and improve the rural social endowment insurance system and develop personal savings endowment insurance, so that farmers can still have a source of livelihood when they are old and lose their ability to work. The fourth is to expand the coverage of "old age allowance" for the elderly. Since the age of 80, the allowance standard has been gradually increased according to the age group. City and county finance has been included in the budget, and the city and county (district) office for the aged has established a special account, which is directly distributed to people. Fifth, strengthen the implementation of the "Starlight Plan", improve the construction of rural nursing homes, glorious homes and welfare service facilities for the elderly, and provide services for the life care of the poor elderly. Sixth, vigorously develop rural pension income-generating bases, and the income will be used to supplement pension and help the poor elderly. It is suggested that finance, taxation, industry and commerce and other relevant departments give preferential policies to the old-age income-generating base and reduce taxes and fees. Where the collective economy is relatively good, farmers can establish a pension or living allowance system to give more care to the poor (especially poor) elderly.

Third, constantly improving the assistance system and mobilizing the whole society to help the elderly are important supplements to solve the problem of poor elderly people. First, give priority to government relief, and set up special funds from a certain proportion of fiscal revenues at all levels to help the elderly and solve the practical problems of the poor elderly. According to the number of elderly people over 60 years old, certain standards are determined and included in the fiscal budget. It is suggested that at the provincial level, the province's elderly population per person 1 yuan, the city's elderly population per person with districts, 2 yuan and the county (city, district) per person should be included in the fiscal budget of that year. With the increase of fiscal revenue, the budget standard will be gradually improved. Second, take social assistance as the main body, mobilize all social forces, and raise funds for "helping the elderly to solve problems". Increase the investment of funds raised by social welfare lottery and sports lottery in the cause of aging; Formulate preferential policies to encourage enterprises, institutions, individuals and foreign investors to invest in the cause of aging, and establish a diversified investment mechanism for the cause of aging. Under the financial supervision, departments for the aged at all levels set up social "helping the elderly out of difficulties" hotlines and bank accounts, which were announced to the whole society and accepted donations from all walks of life, units and individuals. Set up donation boxes for the elderly in larger commercial outlets and public places. The third is to organize the masses to help each other. Like the "Hope Project", the situation of poor (especially poor) elderly people will be announced to the public through news media or other means, and units and individuals will be mobilized to help the poor elderly in pairs or at one time. Party and government organs at all levels carry out the activities of "helping the poor and giving love", and organize the staff of the organs to donate money to the poor elderly every year to set an example for the society. In addition, you can also organize charity performances by literary and art groups or celebrities and large enterprises, and the proceeds will be used to help the elderly solve problems. In addition, volunteers (including professionals, social workers and young health of the elderly) can be organized to help take care of the lives and farm work of the poor elderly regularly or irregularly.

Fourth, according to the legal system for the elderly formulated by the state, safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of the elderly is the legal guarantee to solve the problem of poor elderly people. 1996 10 China promulgated and implemented the Law of the People's Republic of China on the Protection of the Rights and Interests of the Elderly, which stipulated the basic rights and interests of the elderly in family life and society, as well as the basic rights of the elderly to participate in social development, providing practical legal protection for hundreds of millions of elderly people to spend their old age safely. In the future, with the development of social economy, laws and regulations such as the Health Care Law for the Elderly, the Social Participation Law for the Elderly, and the Regulations on the Management of Welfare Facilities for the Elderly should be formulated one after another to strengthen the construction of the pension system. It is necessary to incorporate the cause of aging into the national economic and social development plan, carefully organize and implement it, increase investment in the cause of aging according to the level of national economic development and the size of the elderly population, and extract special funds for the cause of aging according to a certain proportion, which will be included in the fiscal budget and concentrated on financial subsidies such as the construction of service facilities for the elderly, personnel training and scientific research.

Fifth, the Party committee and government attach great importance to it, and departments at all levels pay close attention to its implementation, which is the fundamental guarantee for solving the problem of poor elderly people. Party committees and governments at all levels should unify their thinking, attach great importance to it, put the issue of "helping the elderly out of difficulties" on the agenda and work schedule, and achieve unified leadership, unified deployment and unified inspection. Civil affairs departments should continue to give full play to the advantages of civil assistance to the poor elderly, do a good job in the construction and management of old-age care institutions and community service facilities, and ensure the basic livelihood of the "five guarantees" and the poor elderly. The labor department should give special care to the training and employment arrangements for the children and grandchildren of the laid-off and re-employed poor elderly, and the industrial and commercial and tax departments should give preferential policies. The cultural and educational departments should give relief to the children and grandchildren of poor old people, subsidize the living expenses at school, and arrange work-study programs to take care of them. We should continue to organize "going to the countryside" activities to improve farmers' scientific, technological and cultural quality. It is necessary to do a good job in health care for the elderly, actively carry out health education, and issue "medical assistance cards" to the sick and disabled elderly, so that they can enjoy cheap or even partial free medical services in the medical sector. It is necessary to establish and improve the legal aid system and provide policy and legal advisory services for the poor elderly. It is necessary to effectively strengthen the investigation and study on the situation of poor elderly people, form a long-term adherence system, and share resources among various rescue departments, so that the elderly who are really in trouble can get effective assistance in time, and they must never go hungry or freeze their stomachs. It is suggested that the provincial and municipal committees on aging work with relevant departments to formulate a unified evaluation system for poor elderly people, so as to standardize and standardize the identification of recipients. The departments of aging, civil affairs, labor, health and so on jointly organize a diagnostic assessment every year, and establish a dynamic file and information network for the "poor elderly". Anyone who is identified as a "poor old man" will be issued a "poor old man card" to enjoy relief, assistance and related preferential care. Gradually establish a tracking and monitoring system for the poor elderly, and visit the elderly recipients regularly to institutionalize and standardize the rescue work. It is necessary to intensify publicity and create a social atmosphere. Conscientiously implement the principles and policies of the party and the government on aging work. Make use of various news media to widely publicize advanced models of helping the elderly, resolutely investigate and deal with cases of abuse and infringement of the elderly, earnestly safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the elderly, continuously enhance the legal awareness and concept of respecting the elderly in the whole society, and strive to create a good social atmosphere of respecting and helping the elderly.
