Research On Digital Divide And Anti-Poverty In Underdeveloped Areas Of China

Poverty governance always is a serious world problem either in the past or at the present,either in developed country or developing country,and One of central problems payed close attention to in the economics field.Wise men in the economics field constantly explored the reasons for the formation of poverty,put forward strategies and countermeasures to struggle against poverty.So numerous anti-poverty theories have formed.However,many of anti-poverty theories and strategies in the past were to research poverty from economic perspective.Poverty was looked as an economic phenomenon.People discussed the reason of poverty formed and anti-poverty strategy just from single economic dimension.Actually,poverty is a complex concept,because the reasons poverty formed are multidimensional and most of all the concept of poverty is constantly changing with the development of times.The beginning of 21st century,people raised to research poverty from multidimensional perspective one after another in the academic world,which not only enriched and deveiloped anti-poverty theories,but also positive effected anti-poverty practical.A case of study Yunnan of the remote minorities' areas with wider poverty dimension,deeper poverty degree in China and correlation theory with practice,this paper intensively researches the interaction mechanism based on between digital divide and poverty and scientifically and comprehensively analyses the static,dynamic,space interaction relationship of them,and the poverty reduction of reducing digital divide.It discussed those factors of composition digital divide how to influence and impact poverty too.After that,relevant countermeasures and suggestions will be put forward to provide based on reducing digital divide.Major research contents are following:Firstly,do up the anti-poverty process in China and anti-poverty measures of international organization.Chinese anti-poverty acquired huge performance with six stage works of poverty relief and development since establishment of new China That he problem of absulute poverty will be solved and an oderately prosperous socity will be comprehensively activated.However,the end of work about poverty alleviation is not the terminus of poverty felief,but is the beginning of a new journey.It is the starting point that how to consolidate results of poverty alleviation,relieve the relative poverty,and realize common prosperity for all.So,the thinking of poverty alleviation must be expanded to explored the new way of poverty relief and development.The digital divide lying across the front must be eliminated at first if we want to reduce poverty in information society if the poverty will be eliminated because of digital divide enlarging the gap between the rich and the poor to deepen poverty.Secondly,a case of Yunnan of underdeveloped area,analyze current situation of poverty and digital division with statistic data and sample survey data.The analysis results show:they are not principal factors leading to poor that captal is scarce and infrastructure is poor.It is more important to enhance the service efficiency and rate of contribution of funds when the funds will be invested in poverty alleviation.Poor people who lack of information technology and capacity have become a principal factor leading to poor in the information society When the information innovation brought about digital dividend to help anti-poverty.Thirdly,use FGLS and PAVR model to check and analyze the statistic and dynamic relation between digital divide and poverty.The aggregative indicator system of digital divide and poverty are constructed based on the research of previous people.The comprehensive indexes of digital divide and poverty are figured out with principal component analysis to confirm every indicative weight.As a whole,the region indexes of digital divide and poverty are gradually decreasing as time goes on,but the index gap among different regions are further enlarging because different regions have different speed of lessening,which explains that the interzone digital divide is increasing and the gap between the rich and poor is enlarging.The empirical analysis result of FGLS shows,there is a signally positive correlation between digital divide and poverty.The inspection result of PAVR shows,digital divide and poverty not only come into being sagittal impact to themselves,which makes poverty deepen poverty and digital divide enlarge digital divide,but they could generate positive impact each other,which digital divide directly affect poverty to deepen poverty and poverty affect digital division to enlarge digital divide.Poverty and digital divide influence themselves in current period,at the same time,they are able to influence each other in lag phase.The inspection result of FEVD shows,poverty gerenates serious effect itself and keeps affecting for a long time.So,governing poverty is slow process for a long time.Poverty produces larger digital divide and keeps impacting for a long time.Digital divide is an important factor of affect poverty and effects poverty for a long time.Digital divide gerenates important effect itself and keeps affecting for a long time if the effect is not intervened by other factors.Therefore,poverty enlarging digital divide and digital gap father deepening poverty take shape a cyclic accumulation of causality.Fourthly,use double difference method(DDM)to empirically analysis the poverty reduction effect of bridging the digital divide.The result shows,reducing digital diidy could generate significant effects to poverty in information-based socity.Bridging the Digital divide could obviously bring down the degree of poverty in one region.the degree of poverty will be getting smaller and smaller with digital divide becoming diminishing.On all accounts,the poverty reduction effect of the bridging digital divide will be gradually increasing as time going on.And the Poverty reduction effect is larger in the relatively rich regions with better infrastructure conditions.Therefore,bridging the digital divide of povety-stricken area is an important measure of poverty reduction.Fifthly,use Moran model to implement autocorrelation test of digital divide and poverty.The Moran index result of digital divide and poverty shows,digital divide and poverty have observably spatial autocorrelation,which are direct proportion with spatial aggregation.The degrees of spatial aggregation about digital divide and poverty are decreasing as time going on.But the speed of poverty spatial aggregation decreasing is lower than the speed of digital divide spatial aggregation decreasing.These could explain that poverty governed is more difficult than bridging digital divide.At the same time,because the spatial autocorrelation of poverty and digital divide,some regional poverty will be further reinforced for example poorer Diqing,Nujiang,Zhaotong,and so on,some regional poverty will be further relieved such as richer Kunming,Yuxi,and so on.As well as some regional digital divide will be enlarged step by step for instance Diqing,Nujiang,etc.which the levels of information technology development are lower.Some regional digital divide will be lessened step by step for instance digital gap smaller Kunming,Yuxi,etc.which the levels of information technology development are higher.As a result,digital divide and poverty form"echo effect" among the areas as the same as economic development.The heartlands development could weaken the development of edge zones and remote backward rural areas which are in a subordinate position,intensify the development of central cities which are in an adominant position.Therefore,the gap between the rich and the poor,and between the information rich and the information poor will be enlarged.Sixthly,add spatial weight,use spatial SDM model to verify and analyze spatial dependence and overflow effect between digital divide and poverty from angle of spatial econometrics.The results show,there are significantly positive correlativity between digital divide and poverty.Digital divide not only affects local poverty,but also affects nearby areas poverty by overflow effect.The effect is more obvious in poorer regions than other areas.As the same as digital divide,the level of income has statistically significant effect to poverty.The results of analysis SDM model between digital divide secondary index and poverty show,information infrastructure,information application,information environment could markedly affect poverty,but the effect of information consciousness is not significant for poverty because of underdeveloped education in poor areas.In consequence,education need to be quickened to develop in poverty-stricken areas to enhance information consciousness and information literacy competency of resident in poor areas.Bridging digital divide and speeding up the development of modern economy including digital economy and e-commerce in rural areas let developed areas development in the hartland benefit vast remote rural areas by"diffusing effect" to narrow the gap between the rich ad poor,and cut down overflow of digital divide and poverty in the poor areas.Seventhly,the paper puts forward countermeasure and suggestion about anti-poverty of bridging digitial divide from six aspects based on the provious analysis with problem orientation.It aimed at offering advice and suggestions to overcome poverty,prevent people from repoverty,consolidate the results out of poverty,and slow down relative poverty in new period.
