Institution Derivation or Subjectivity Driven:Categories of Welfare Dependency based on Urban Dibao Families with Work Capacity in China
The issue of welfare dependency has raised worldwide concern in social welfare policy domain.Using the national-representative survey data of"Social Support System for Impoverished Households in Urban China",descriptive statistics based on objective and subjective indicators revealed that welfare dependency exists in terms of long-term and continuous social assistance recipience in urban Dibao families,but most of the Dibao families with work capacity do not exhibit the non-employment characteristic.This indicates that welfare dependency mainly manifests in the policy institutional arrangement rather than individual behavior.The welfare dependence of urban Dibao families mainly manifests in six types,including subjective dependence,long-term dependence,sustained dependence,typical dependence,short-term dependence,and deep dependence.In response to the welfare dependency,policymakers might consider optimizing the social assistance system by unbinding Dibao from other assistance programs,establishing a regular rotation system,and enhancing the work initiative of Dibao recipients.
