Features: Effectively addressing the various issues faced by vulnerable groups, especially impoverished ones, to ensure balanced and effective development of Chinese society is one of the major challenges for the Chinese government. After analyzing the composition, classification, and existing problems in protecting vulnerable groups in China, this book proposes some suggestions for supporting them from legislative, policy, and institutional perspectives. In summary, China is currently in a critical period of reform and social transformation. The issue of vulnerable groups has moved from a hidden state to become prominent, posing a significant threat to political stability and hindering social and economic development. It has attracted great attention from government departments at all levels and the entire society. We should conduct an in-depth analysis of the current characteristics and severity of vulnerable groups in China, reveal their underlying contradictions, and strive to explore and practice bold initiatives to achieve the goals of "common prosperity" and "all-round human development," as well as to build a harmonious society.
