The Deficiency and Correction of Support Policies for Shidu Families under the Framework of"Needs-Goals-Tools"—Policy Texts Analysis of 22 Provincial Administrative Regions
The objectives of Shidu families(families who lost their only child)support policies in-clude maintaining basic survival,enhancing well-being,building a management system,creating an en-vironment of public opinions and promoting social integration.The individual and structural dilemmas faced by the Shidu families have different levels of policy needs.Government departments need to flexibly use different types of policy tools to give full play to the instrumental effects of social policies,so as to a-chieve the policy objectives of individual needs,social stability and economic growth.The results of the quantitative analysis of the texts of policies to support Shidu families in 22 provincial administrative re-gions across China show that,the dimension of policy needs is dominated by the need to satisfy physiolog-ical and safety needs,while the needs of love and belonging,respect and self-realization are lacking;and the dimension of policy objectives is dominated by the goals of maintaining basic survival and enhancing well-being,while the goals of building a management system,creating an environment of public opinions and promoting social integration are lacking;in the dimensions of policy tools,mandatory tools are domi-nant,incentive and system-changing tools are complementary,and hortatory and capability-building tools are lacking;in terms of regional heterogeneity of policies,compared with the eastern,western and north-eastern regions,the text structure of the policies in the central region is the most comprehensive,diverse and complete in terms of policy needs,policy goals and policy tools.In the future,the government should optimise the policy needs and goals of the support policies,adjust the supply of policy tools,and promote the policy fairness.
