Abstract
Over 70 years of modernization since the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the Chinese society went through three phases, the planned economy, the market economy and social development. The social welfare system in each phase was with distinctive Chinese characteristics. We cannot mechanically apply western framework to analyze China’s social welfare. Currently, the welfare system in China still has problems, and for future development, we should expand the coverage of social welfare programs and increase the integration of welfare systems to build a generally integrated social welfare system. This has become an objective requirement and basic task of China’s welfare system development.
