Private Investors Encouraged to Develop Social Welfare Houses

Eleven ministries have jointly proposed that non-governmental investors be encouraged to finance social welfare institutions to shelter orphans, elderly people and the handicapped.

The Proposal on Accelerating the Socialization of Social Welfare by 11 ministries including the ministries of finance, education and public health, issued by the General Office of the State Council, says that China's welfare institutions are insufficient to meet the social demand, though the sector has made remarkable progress over the past five decades.

Non-governmental investors from all sections of society should be encouraged to join hands with the government to develop social welfare institutions, it says.

By 2005, a social welfare service network will be established throughout the country, with government-run institutions as the model and collective and private-owned units as the backbone, community-based services as the supportive means, and home-care as the basic form of welfare service.

Local governments should set directive targets for the development of local welfare undertakings, and adopt favorable policies concerning land-use, taxation, public utilities, medicare, schooling and employment, in order to encourage non-governmental investors to participate in this endeavor.
