| Summary, etc | This article compares social assistance in China and Sweden, and finds a number of similarities. In both countries, benefits are regulated by a national policy, while local governments are responsible for administration. The proportion of the population receiving social assistance is surprisingly similar in China and Sweden. Social assistance reduces dire poverty but is less successful in raising full-year recipients above the poverty line used in international comparisons of developed countries. During the last decade, the income thresholds used to assess claims have not increased at the same rate as the mean income level in both countries. Not surprisingly, there are also substantial differences in the social assistance systems of the two countries. The Swedish system has a long history; the Chinese is relatively recent. The income thresholds differ in terms of their method of calculation and the extent of the relief they offer. While the same thresholds are applied across Sweden, in China they vary by location. The profiles of recipients also differ between countries. |

| Summary, etc | 本文就中國和瑞典的社會救助進行了比較分析。研究發現，中國和瑞典兩國之間在社會救助上存在一些相似之處。其中，兩國的社會救助都由國家進行宏觀政策規制，並由地方政府負責實施。同時，獲得社會救助人口的比例在兩國中具有驚人的相似性。社會救助減少了絕對貧困，但是，在實現社會救助對像高於發達國家用於國際比較上所使用的貧困線方面還有欠缺。在過去的十年間，中國和瑞典的社會救助標准都沒有實現與兩國各自人口的平均收入水平同步增長。同時，並不奇怪的是，中國和瑞典的社會救助制度也存在諸多不同之處。瑞典的社會救助制度歷史悠久，而中國的社會救助制度是相對近期的。瑞典的社會救助標准在全國保持一致，而中國的社會救助標准卻存在著地域差異。此外，在兩個國家中 社會救助對像的構成也不相同。 |
