Law Absence and System Construction of Equal Material Assistance Rights of Farmers in China

Firstly, conception of farmers’ equal material assistance rights is introduced from the aspects of equal rights, material assistance rights, and farmers’ equal material assistance rights. Value function of farmers’ equal material assistance rights is pointed out, which can eliminate the partial policies with urban priority orientation. It is a necessary condition for maintaining the legal and institutional authority, as well as an inevitable choice to realize the social justice and harmony. Current status of the law absence of farmers’ equal material assistance rights in China is introduced, which is reflected in the lack of theoretical research on farmers’ equal material assistance rights in the law circle, the lack of procedural legal system of farmers’ equal material assistance rights at present, and the lack of actual law effectiveness of farmers’ equal material assistance rights at present. System construction is a turning point to change the law absence of farmers’ material assistance rights. Government should promote the economic development, provide material bases for the system construction of farmers’ material assistance rights, enhance the legal consciousness of farmers, cultivate the ability of farmers to participate in equal material assistance rights, strengthen the procedural legislation and judicial justice, and ensure the farmers’ material assistance rights.
