现阶段我国社会弱势群体的成因、现状及对策

现阶段我国社会弱势群体主要包括下岗职工、“体制外”人、农民工和较早退休的“体制内”人员等四部分人群。随着我国经济体制改革的不断深化和社会转型的不断发展 ,社会弱势群体已经成为直接影响经济持续发展和社会稳定的重要因素之一。现阶段我国社会弱势群体收入低 ,生活贫困 ;社会地位下降 ,权利难以维护 ;心态矛盾复杂 ,抱有不满情绪。需要从就业、收入分配 ,法律援助、教育以及社会保障等几个方面解决弱势群体问题。关心和救助社会弱势群体 ,不仅是党和政府责无旁贷的任务 ,也是全社会每个人的责任。

Disadvantaged People--Causes & Conditions

At present there are 4 groups of disadvantaged people in China: laid-off workers, self-employed people, peasant laborers and retirees. With further reform on economic and social structure, these people have become an important part that may impact sustained development and social stability as they face various problems such as low pay, low status and complex mentality. The paper argues that more aid should be given to them in regard of employment, rewarding system, legal assistance and educational opportunities. We should not rely on the government to improve their conditions.
