A: The scope of social assistance is divided into two parts: first, emergency assistance and disaster relief. This is temporary and emergency, and not all the people saved are low-income. If after receiving the aid, the rescued person still faces difficulties and cannot be solved, he will be included in the low-income poverty group by the local government according to law and receive long-term assistance. Second, general assistance, including family subsidies, shelter and resettlement, disability benefits subsidies, unemployment assistance and so on. , usually divided into assistance to poor areas and poor households. Social assistance standards vary greatly from country to country. This mainly depends on a country's economic development level and the living standards of its residents.

Now, the international community can basically accept the concept that poverty means that the income of individual citizens can't reach the minimum living standard acceptable to their own residents. According to international practice, the indicator of poverty is the poverty line, or the minimum living security line. Poverty can be divided into absolute poverty and relative poverty. Absolute poverty means that living conditions are lower than the minimum standards necessary for local residents. Generally, they lack the basic material conditions needed for survival, that is, they cannot meet the basic material conditions such as food, clothing, housing and transportation. The vast majority of people in absolute poverty are old, injured, sick, disabled, lonely, widowed, alone and unemployed for a long time. Relative poverty refers to poverty that has a big gap with the average living standard of society. That is, the living standard of a person, a family or a group is lower than that of other communities, and they often lack some necessary living materials or service facilities. Its main performance is that the life of the poor belongs to the bottom, that is, they can barely live and can't enjoy the so-called decent life and the basic requirements of modern society. Generally speaking, to measure whether citizens are poor, most countries take the absolute poverty line as the standard, that is, the minimum living security line. The social poverty line or minimum living security line in a certain period shall be determined and published by the government on the basis of family economic investigation and other investigations. No matter from the minimum living expenses necessary for the survival of local residents, or from a certain level of local middle income.
