党的十六大郑重宣布中国社会开始进入建设全面小康阶段。它表明中国社会已经超越单纯追求效率阶段进入追求社会公平的高度整合期。弱势群体问题显然已成为人们在思考资源分配、社会公平及社会稳定时广泛关注的焦点,不可否认,弱势群体问题及其解决已经成为社会公平的底线与关键? The 16th CPC National Congress has solemnly declared that Chinese society has begun to enter the stage of building a well-to-do society. It shows that Chinese society has gone beyond the simple pursuit of efficiency into the period of high integration of the pursuit of social justice. The issue of vulnerable groups has apparently become the focus of attention when people think about resource allocation, social equity and social stability. It is undeniable that the issue of vulnerable groups and their solution have become the bottom line and key to social fairness.
