This paper analyzes taxpayers` willingness to bear the cost of working poor policy and investigates specific policy demands. Three categories of the policy are investigated: the policy for public-sector jobs, the policy for private-sector jobs, and the public income system. The results of the analysis are as follows: First, taxpayers are more willing to pay for the welfare cost. Second, the respondents who evaluate the public income system as important and rate the performance of the policy for public-sector jobs better than that of the policy for private-sector jobs are more willing to share the welfare cost. Third, beneficiaries of the policy and non-beneficiaries have difference in needs. Fourth, in deciding their willingness to burden the cost, respondents` party preference is an important factor, while their ideological tendency isn`t.
