Features: According to the logical framework of this book, it is divided into 8 chapters. First, it elaborates on the meaning, necessity, and basic principles of coordinated urban-rural social security. Subsequently, it reviews domestic and international theoretical research. The study of Western economics can be divided into two stages, with World War II as the boundary. Before this period, they focused on and researched the social security of urban workers. Afterward, welfare economics gradually rose, and Western economics began to explore how to improve the overall welfare level of the population, equally including farmers and workers in the unified social security system. Early research in China was also limited to formal urban employed workers, lacking adequate attention to farmers. With the advancement of industrialization and urbanization, the coordination of urban-rural social security has been proposed as a historical proposition.
