澳门由2008年开始发放现金分享,澳门居民人人有份。人们深明经济环境总有起落,财政不会年年有余,要居安思危、积谷防饥。多年来对现金分享的性质、目标和做法,社会上有不同的看法,并理性地提出现金分享应由临时措施转化为长效机制,本文对此做出探讨、分析,提出现金分享是一种普惠性的社会福利,主要目标是分享经济发展成果,要综合考虑财政储备及盈余状况,建立合理分配、可加可减的现金分享长效机制,并利用过期未被提取的现金分享的可观金额,另设扶贫基金,更好地支援弱势。
<<The Wealth Partaking Scheme began in 2008,in which every Macao resident was eligible to participate. People should be aware of the ups and downs of the economic environment and that a surplus in every fiscal year should not be expected. There have been different views on the nature,objectives and practices of the Wealth Partaking Scheme over the years,and the community has offered proposals to modify the scheme so the current temporary practice could be replaced by a more sustainable long-term mechanism. This article aims to explore,analyse the Scheme,and proposes that the Wealth Partaking Scheme should be considered a universal welfare. The main goal would be to share the fruits of economic development,and to ensure a fair allocation through a thorough consideration of financial reserves and the surplus available. The Scheme should be a long-term mechanism with fair distribution,while the amount could be increased or decreased. For the money which was not taken as the annual scheme became overdue,a poverty alleviation fund could be set up in order to better assist the disadvantaged groups.
