城镇居民最低生活保障制度,就是政府根据群众的基本生活需求和当地财力的承受能力,在深入调查和科学测算的基础上,确定出符合当地实际的居民最低生活保障标准,凡居民家庭收入达不到这个最低保障标准的,按照缺多少补多少的原则,由政府给予资金或实物救济,从而保障其基本生活,保障其生存权益。本文谨就加快城镇居民最低生活保障制度地方立法步伐问题,谈一点粗浅的看法。 The minimum living guarantee system for urban residents means that the government, on the basis of the basic needs of the masses and the affordability of the local financial resources, determines the minimum living allowance for residents in line with the actual conditions on the basis of in-depth investigations and scientific calculations. To this minimum standard of protection, according to the principle of lacking more and less, the government should grant financial or in-kind relief so as to guarantee its basic livelihood and safeguard its survival rights and interests. This article just to speed up the urban residents in the system of minimum living guarantee local legislative pace, to talk a little superficial view.
