放眼全球,无论是发达国家还是发展中国家抑或不发达国家,贫富差距都是普遍存在的现象。对于具备一定经济实力的现代国家而言,保障中低收入者的住房权益是政府的责任所在,也是维系社会和谐的重要途径。起步较早的国家积累了很多保障房方面的经验可资借鉴。 Looking around the world, the gap between rich and poor is a ubiquitous phenomenon both in developed and developing countries or in underdeveloped countries. For modern countries with certain economic strength, it is the responsibility of the government to protect the housing rights of low and middle income people and also an important way to maintain social harmony. Countries that started earlier have accumulated a great deal of experience in providing affordable housing.
