Implementing an effective Urban minimum living security Policy is an important means to promote urban poverty governance and promote Common prosperity of groups. This paper uses the three phase Panel data of the China Health and Retirement Follow up Survey (CHARLS) from 2013 to 2018 to systematically explore the poverty reduction effect of China's urban minimum living security policy by the multi-period-difference-difference(DID) model. It is found that the implementation of the urban minimum living security policy has effectively improved the per capita income level of urban households. The above conclusion still holds after a series of robustness tests. Heterogeneity analysis shows that the poverty reduction effectiveness of urban minimum living security policies has significant regional heterogeneity: compared to the eastern region, the policy effect in the central and western regions is more significant. And the effectiveness of this policy in the eastern region is inferior to the former,while Mechanism analysis shows that urban minimum living security policies mainly exert poverty reduction effects through two channels: increasing the accumulation of urban household capital and enhancing the human capital of urban households. In the future, emphasis should be placed on establishing a national adjustment mechanism for the low income protection standard, ensuring the local implementation of the low income protection policy, and improving the special assistance system to improve the effectiveness of urban minimum living security policy, and to promote the realization of the goals of Chinese-style modernization and common prosperity.
