Abstract
The sixtieth documents [2004] of civil administration made the rule: all the local
governments should make scientific and rational urban minimum living standards as an
important work. The unban minimum living standards should be adjusted timely based
on price index and income index, to ensure the level of the basic life need of
low-income people. In the process of adjusted, the range of adjust should be objective.
In fact, most local social security governments are empiricism in relate to adjust the
standards. They have not made enough calculation on the relevant data, so they have not
made the accurate and scientific scheme.
This study attempts to put forward the concrete scheme of the adjustment of the
urban minimum living standards. It consists of four parts. The first part reviews some
important concepts and theories, such as “Poor”, “Social relief”, “The living standards
of the dynamic adjustment mechanism ”,“Maslow's hierarchy of needs”, ”Social
hierarchy ”, ”The responsibility of the governments”. All the concepts and theories are
the preparation of the dynamic adjustment mechanism.
The second part introduces the status of urban minimum living standards from the
aspects of security population, the expenditure of public financial and the diversity of
district. Then, the part describes the process of the adjustment of the urban minimum
living standards at present. Expound the existing problems of the mechanism. At last, it
enumerates the projects of some developed countries which inspire our country.
The third part is the core of the paper. At first, It explains the reason that the
adjustment of the urban minimum living standards. Then, it puts forward two factors
which influence the minimum living standards: the price index and the dominate
income. Based on the two factors, the paper constructs the mathematical model of the
dynamic adjustment. And the ELES model is used to measure and calculate the needs of
the urban living. Then it measures the needs of the upper limit and lower limit. And
the designed standards should between the upper one and the lower one. The paper
takes the ZHEJIANG province as the example. By the analytical of the data of
ZHEJIANG province, it puts forward the specific scheme. At last, the part analyses the
rational of the scheme from the aspects of supply and demand.
The fifth part is some measures to perfect the mechanism. There are four steps:
design the scientific minimum living standards; make the rational strategy and methods
of adjustment of the urban minimum living standards; be on the alert of price index and
income index; extend the supply of the funds of the living standards.
Combining all the data and analysis, we get the following conclusions: the
effective schemes include two methods. The first method is based on the urban
consumer price index and income growth (coefficient=0.58737). The second method is
based on the urban consumer index and income growth
(coefficient=0.58737&0.400327).
