	0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)

Summary/Abstract

This article tracks recent policy developments of urban–rural dibao coordination, analyses different local strategies and discusses future directions that could help maximise its policy impact. Local strategies for integrating urban–rural dibao lines range from the most advanced full unification to partial unification and narrowing of the urban–rural gap, and to other practices such as focusing on specific population groups and raising the rural and urban dibao lines that correspond to external criteria. Future efforts will be needed to address the continued challenges rooted in the uneven development and limited coordination across localities in order to achieve greater unification in urban and rural dibao.

Summary/Abstract

China's minimum livelihood guarantee programme (dibao) provides means-tested cash assistance to poor households. The programme was first established in the urban areas in the mid 1990s and was extended to the countryside in 2007. It has been managed separately for rural and urban residents. Recently a growing number of localities began to unify the programme to facilitate increasing urbanisation. This study draws on the fieldwork conducted in four localities to investigate the contributing factors and challenges to the unification. Strong economic conditions, a small share of rural population and dibao recipients, and decreasing caseloads are major factors contributing to the unification.
