BEIJING -- China will introduce a unified subsistence allowance for urban and rural residents, the Ministry of Civil Affairs (MCA) said Wednesday.
The move comes in a bid to promote the coordinated development of the subsistence allowances system in urban and rural areas, according to a press conference organized by the ministry.
Gradual efforts will be made to guide local authorities in closing the subsistence allowance gap between urban and rural areas, said a MCA official.
