In this presentation, Professor Gao will discuss her new book, Welfare, Work, and Poverty. This work evaluates the impact and effectiveness of China’s primary social assistance program — Minimum Livelihood Guarantee (Dibao) — since it’s inception in 1993. Dibao serves the dual function of providing a basic safety net for the poor and maintaining social and political stability.
