Features: This book focuses on the rural social security issues in the Tujia ethnic area, which is based on the following considerations: First, the vast majority of the Tujia ethnic area is mountainous rural areas, with a high proportion of rural population and agricultural output value, correspondingly, a low level of urbanization, and relatively underdeveloped industry and services. Second, rural areas in the Tujia ethnic area frequently suffer from natural disasters, with a wide range of poverty and rapid population aging. Whether now or in the future, the construction of rural social security systems is of urgency. Third, from the current practice of China's rural social security system, economically better-off plain rural areas have already promoted the Minimum Living Security System, Social Pension System, Cooperative Medical System, and Disaster Relief Insurance System.
