Abstract

People with disabilities are a special group which especially need the support of social security system.Although China's high economic growth has earned worldwide praise,people with disabilities in China have not been protected by social security system adequately.Among the reasons for the underdevelopment of social security system for people with disabilities,the most important factors are as follows: the traditional view which attributes the care responsibility of people with disabilities solely to families,the underdevelopment of social security system which leads the national well-being not to increase at the same rate with economic growth,the absence of integrated social security system strategy which institutional design does not account for people with disabilities,and the absence of planning of social protection for people with disabilities.As the economic develops,it is time to promote the social security system for people with disabilities.In order to do so,the care responsibility of people with disabilities should be shared among the state,the society and the family;the development concept that national well-being should increase at the same rate as the economic growth should be established;the social security programs targeting at people with disabilities should be appropriately planned and designed in social security system,especially should accord with other programs.With the support and collaboration from government sector and non-government sector,the social protection system for people with disabilities,with the social welfare programs for people with disability as its core,should be based on the social security system targeting at average people,and supplemented by employment programs.
