Since our country established county as the unit to carry out large-scale development strategy for poverty alleviation in 1986, China’s poverty alleviation work has obtained remarkable achievements in the world. However, with the development of economy, the poverty reduction pattern that takes Poverty County as the target object model for poverty alleviation, has appeared many problems. The number of Poor County approved by Government has remained unchanged for 592 since 1994. According to the statistics, despite the national anti-poverty funds keeping increasing some poverty counties are getting poorer and another are showing off their wealth while wearing a ‘poor cap’. The Poor County approved by Government likes identity delineation. Those who enter the list can enjoy a variety of resources of poverty alleviation. Faced with the huge poverty of resources, poor counties eager to join the list, and even make data fraud or bribery. On one hand, this phenomenon increases the financial burden and causes the waste of resources. On the other hand, it causes social injustice and aspects the economic development in poor areas. The research of Exit Mechanism of Poor County approved by Government is a hot spot after the study of anti-poverty strategy and aiming mechanism of poverty. Through a holistic study of the Exit Mechanism of Poor County approved by Government, this article aims to define the intension, policy objectives and exiting means of the Exit Mechanism, clarifys the exit impediments and puts forward a basic sketch of building the Exit Mechanism and some advises.This paper focuses on the exit issues of the Poor County approved by Government to carry out the study. First, analyze the Pro-poor policies, evaluation criteria, exit status quo, exiting problems and consequences.

In the three adjustment process, the poor counties’ exit rate has been below 8.6% and the total remains at 592, exit number is relatively small and there exits more difficult problems; due to the lack of exit mechanism, the consequences of the exit problems are increasing the financial burden, wasting the poverty relief resources, forming a reverse incentive for poor areas, hindering economic development and causing corruption. Meanwhile, this paper analyzes the hindering factors of exiting from the perspective of both internal and external. The study shows that there are three external factors which including fuzzy exit system, the lack of pressure on the government to develop policies, unlisted and unscientific assessment standards and unreliable monitoring. Internal factors include the participators pursuing their own interests and the poverty alleviation policy of reverse incentive.
