Abstract

The social assistance has attracted increasing attention in the international study of social policy since the 1970s. Based on an analysis of relevant theories and practices of social assistance at home and abroad, this paper aims to make interpretations of the concept of social assistance in some different perspectives. It is helpful for a reconstruction of the social assistance system in China to review developments of social assistance, compare differences and similarities of its various concepts and patterns, and identify different social assistance systems and structures.
