In Shanghai, low income refers to people with low income level, usually refers to workers whose monthly income is lower than the urban minimum wage, unemployed people and people who rely on other security funds such as pensions and subsistence allowances to maintain their lives. As Shanghai is a relatively developed city in China, prices are rising rapidly, and the lives of many low-income people are very difficult. They need to make a living through government poverty alleviation policies, charities and social donations.

The Shanghai Municipal Government has been paying great attention to the living problems of low-income people and has formulated some poverty alleviation policies, including "housing security", "employment support" and "social security". For example, Shanghai's housing security policies are divided into two categories: one is the rent subsidy policy for public rental housing and low-rent housing; The other is the housing subsidy policy such as housing renovation and resettlement housing construction in the "old city frame area". In addition, the Shanghai municipal government has also solved the employment problem of low-income people by increasing training and expanding public employment services.

Although the Shanghai government has introduced many poverty alleviation policies, low-income people still face many difficulties. Some low-income people have difficult living conditions and need to strengthen poverty alleviation so that they can enjoy more policy support. On the other hand, many non-profit organizations, foundations and other organizations have also taken actions to provide materials, services and nursing assistance to low-income people. I hope that all sectors of society will work together to create better living conditions for low-income people and make them more dignified and valuable.
