Research On The Governance Of Urban Expenditure Type Poverty

All social sectors, including the government, pay attention to the expenditure type poverty. The study of the "expenditure type poverty" can not only expand our understanding of poverty, but also guide the correct understanding of the "expenditure type poverty" and provide a reference for the development of specific governance measures. In order to measure the impact of basic consumption expenditure on the poverty, this paper puts forward a new concept:expenditure poverty index, which the ratio of basic expenditure and disposable income. Based on 2005-2014 data of Jiangsu Province, this paper estimates the expenditure poverty index of the urban different income groups in the past ten years.We can find that the average expenditure poverty index of the people in Minimum Living Guarantee System (MLSGS) is 1.57, which much higher than 1, even slightly rise; the average expenditure poverty index of edge poverty groups is slightly more than 1. Thus, we can speculate, the people in MLSGS and the edge poverty group suffer in the "expenditure type poverty". Besides, this paper analyzes the basic structure of consumption expenditure. The proportion of the food and education consumption show a downward trend, the proportion of clothing, housing and household equipment consumption and services show a rising trend, and the proportion of medical consumption keep it steady in the past ten years.According to the results of empirical analysis, the governance of "expenditure type poverty" should pay attention to three types of people:the people in MLSGS, the edge poverty group and the lowest income group (Lowest 10%). Additionally, the governance of "expenditure type poverty" should pay attention to three types of consumption:clothing, housing and household equipment consumption. At last, our management thinking must change from "maintain survival" to "maintain life", from "increase revenue" to "reduce consumption", from "raise single ability" "Enhanced composite capability" in the process of the "expenditure type poverty" governance. How to solve the next three problems will be the difficulties of the "expenditure type poverty" governance. The first one is how to delimit the "expenditure type poverty" groups exactly; the second one is how to release the freedom and autonomy of the "expenditure type poverty" groups; the third one is how to combine with the current poverty reduction system. At last, this paper puts forward countermeasures for the governance of "expenditure type poverty" from the perspective of inclusive innovation. The government should establish a dynamic monitoring system of the effect of poverty governance with Big Data Analysis, and focus on popularizing the basic public services for the equalization of the basic public services; the businesses and the social organizations must be committed to providing the innovative products and services for low-income groups; the poor themselves should focus on improving their composite capability.
