Since the 1990s, urban poverty has increasingly become an outstanding problem in china's social and economic system.Poverty of Xinjiang is the rural poverty now. As increasingly deepening of opening and reform policy and transformation of Xinjiang's economy from planned economy to market economy, there have been a large number of poverty groups in urban areas and small towns of Xinjiang. According to statistics of related departments, urban poverty population in Xinjiang is about 8% of whole urban population of Xinjiang. Although the number of them is fewer, it has very much negative effect to social stability, economic development and offspring of poverty groups of Xinjiang, which is most likely to lead to a series of malignant circle. It has already become main obstruct to totally construct a well to do and harmonious society. The long–term existence of urban poverty problem violates with the goal of Xinjiang's economic social development and construction of harmonious society. Therefore alleviating urban poverty became a major point in government affairs of Xinjiang.This thesis is divided into four parts, which mainly discuss the conception, construction, survival features, reasons of the urban poverty and some major suggestion. The First part is the definition and construction to the urban poverty population. The second part is the present situation and distribution of the poverty population in Xinjiang, which describes and analyses the scale and survival features of the poverty population. The author thinks that the poor people are mostly distributed in three prefectures of south Xinjiang and remote prefectures of north Xinjiang, such as Altay, Tacheng etc. They mainly are traditional disadvantageous and jobless people who are featured with low cultural quality, high Engir coefficient, populated family, poor health, malnutrition and psychological fragility etc. The third part is the cause and result of urban poverty. The paper analyses the reasons from macroscopic background and microscopic factor and introduces result of urban poverty. The author thinks that imperfect market mechanism, improper industrial structure, unhealthy urban social security system, insufficient employment, intrinsically low cultural quality and unhealthy physical quality of the poor, old employment concept are mainly reason of urban poverty. Poverty alleviation and elimination are common duty of the government and society. The forth part is the counter-measures to solve the poverty problem. We should broaden the approach of employment, gradually improve the social security system of Xinjiang, adopt various kinds of advantageous measures in strategies in order to solve the urban poverty problem and build a series of more perfect urban poverty system according to the experiences of other countries.
