Research On Rural Poverty In China Based On Income Poverty And Multidimensional Poverty

Since the reform and opening up,China has made great achievements in the field of poverty alleviation while maintaining sustained economic growth.With the reduction of the number of poor people,the current focus of poverty alleviation work is how to implement targeted assistance on the basis of accurately identifying poor families,so as to achieve targeted poverty recognition,targeted poverty alleviation.In addition,the current poverty problem is the result of a combination of economic,social,cultural and other factors,and shows obvious dynamic evolution characteristics over time.Therefore,from the perspective of income poverty and multidimensional poverty,this paper studies the poverty of rural families in China,and explores the factors causing poverty in rural households and the factors affecting dynamic change of poverty.These studies are helpful to deepen the understanding of rural poverty in China.And provide a certain theoretical explanation for targeted poverty recognition,targeted poverty alleviation work.Based on the panel data of the China Family Panel Studies(CFPS)in 2010 and 2014,this paper measures and identifies rural household income poverty and multidimensional poverty in China.This paper analyzes the relationship and difference between income poverty and multidimensional poverty.On the basis of identifying poor families,This paper use the two-level Logit model to empirically analyze the factors affecting income poverty and multidimensional poverty from the two aspects of family characteristics and village characteristics.Meanwhile,according to the changes in the poverty situation of rural households in 2010 and 2014,rural households are divided into four categories:non-poverty group,poverty-stricken group,poverty-returning group and poverty group.This paper explores the main factors affecting the dynamic change of rural household income poverty and multidimensional poverty by the means of the two-level Logit model.The results show that:(1)There are differences in the recognition results of rural poor families under income poverty and multi-dimensional poverty.The income poverty standard are likely to miss multidimensional poor households,but the multidimensional poverty standard identifies 96.76%of income poor households.(2)The level of education of the head of household,the health of the labor and the improvement of labor mobility contribute to reducing the likelihood of income poverty and multidimensional poverty,among which,the effect of labor mobility is more obvious.At the same time,the education level of the head of household and the mobility of labor have an important influence on the dynamic change of income poverty and multidimensional poverty.(3)Family social capital accumulation has a significant positive effect on alleviating income poverty and multidimensional poverty.At the same time,The accumulation of social capital is beneficial not only to increase the possibility of multi-dimensional poor farmers getting out of poverty,but also to reduce the risk of non-multidimensional poor farmers returning to poverty.(4)The level of village economic development and the household registration system factors at the macro level have a significant impact on rural household income poverty and multidimensional poverty.At the same time,the improvement of these two indicators can increase the possibility of farmers getting rid of income poverty and multidimensional poverty,and also help to reduce the possibility of farmers returning to poverty.Finally,this paper proposes the following policy recommendations:when identifying poor people in poverty alleviation work,we should fully consider the difference between income poverty and multidimensional poverty,and pay more attention to multidimensional poverty.Improve the education and medical system and improve the poverty reduction performance of family human capital.Establish a rural labor mobility mechanism and g:ive full play to the potential of labor mobility to reduce poverty in rural households.Guide rural families to establish a sense of social capital investment,encourage farmers to establish a benign social relationship network to enhance social capital accumulation.Regional economic development should be vigorously promoted,the discrimination effect of household registration system should be broken,and promote the integration process of urban and rural development.
