Abstract: The implementation, achievements and existing problems of the rural minimum living guarantee system in Fujian were summarized to make it reflect the current conditions of local poor households more objectively and precisely. With extended linear expenditure system model, five categories data of life consumption expenditure referred to the survival, education and health of poor households, including food consumption, clothing consumption, house consumption, teaching and entertainment appliances and service, and medical care, were selected for the calculation on Fujian rural minimum living guarantee standard. The result showed that the existed rural minimum living guarantee standard was generally low during 2007-2011 compared to the estimated one. Therefore several policy suggestions were put forward, including measuring poverty taking consumption level into consideration, establishing multiple financing mechanism with republic finance as the main body, improving the provincial financial transfer payment system for subsistence allowance, constructing the urban and rural integration minimum livelihood guarantee system, and improving the comprehensive social assistance system.
