Coordination to help people in difficulties

CHINA is to set up county-level coordination for ensuring basic living standards for people in difficulties, the Ministry of Civil Affairs said yesterday.

A circular issued by the State Council calls for authorities at county level, including civil affairs, reform, finance, social security, housing and health agencies, to work together to address the needs of people living in difficulties. Such groups include those in poverty, the disabled, left-behind children, orphans and the homeless. China has about 45 million people living in poverty, 85 million people with disabilities, and 9.02 million left-behind children.
