1, the minimum living allowance refers to families who have lost their labor force due to severe disability or illness of their family members and enjoy the minimum living allowance. Residents whose housing or income is significantly lower than the local minimum living standard. The urban minimum living guarantee is a system to implement the minimum living guarantee on the basis of the "three guarantee lines" system such as the basic living guarantee for laid-off workers from state-owned enterprises, unemployment insurance and the minimum living guarantee for urban residents.

2. In fact, China's exploration of rural minimum living security system is earlier than that of cities. However, due to the influence of traditional rural collective welfare thought and rural tax and fee reform, the construction of this system has been progressing slowly. In 2003, after a major breakthrough in the urban subsistence allowance system, the Ministry of Civil Affairs began to redeploy the rural subsistence allowance system. One of the important measures is that, on the basis of finding out the base number of rural poor households, it is decided to establish a relief system for rural poor households in areas where the rural minimum living security system has not been carried out, thus forming a situation of "two tracks parallel" between the rural minimum living security system and the rural poor households relief system in the vast rural areas of China. It is precisely because of this innovative institutional arrangement that it has laid a solid foundation for the smooth realization of the goal of "universal minimum living security".
