A Study on the Theoretical Evolution, Practical Dilemmas, and Policy Innovations in Enhancing Rural Social Welfare

Yuan Wei · 2025 · Asia Pacific Economic and Management Review

Summary. China's rural social welfare system lags significantly behind urban provision, creating institutional gaps in social security and public services. This paper examines theoretical foundations and policy pathways for reform under the Rural Revitalization Strategy. It identifies three core problems: low overall welfare levels, homogeneous provider structures focused on relief, and narrow economic subsidies lacking comprehensive support. The study compares two reform approaches—rural-to-urban integration versus strengthening local rural welfare—and recommends targeted policies to achieve urban-rural welfare equality and common prosperity.
