Every day in the People's Republic of China 70 million people
receive help from the state through the minimum livelihood
guarantee (dibao). What began as a reform in the city of Shanghai
in the early 1990s is now a key component in the measures used by
the Communist Party of China to maintain social stability and
legitimacy. While scholars regularly discuss how effective dibao
has been in alleviating poverty very little addresses what
influenced its development. This book argues that in order to
understand dibao we need to look at how the programme emerged and
how it has developed in the years since. Drawing on newspaper
articles, government reports and interviews with key officials and
researchers, the book also addresses debate on the policy process
in China as a whole.
