A Study On Relative Poverty In Rural Zhejiang Province Under The Perspective Of Common Wealth

On February 25,2021,General Secretary Xi Jinping solemnly declared that "China has achieved a comprehensive victory in the battle against poverty," and the problem of eliminate poverty,which has plagued the Chinese nation for thousands of years,has been historically solved,laying a solid foundation for the new development stage of promoting A solid foundation has been laid for promoting common prosperity in the new development stage.China has fully built a moderately prosperous society,and the focus of poverty management has shifted to solving relative poverty.As one of the economically developed provinces in the east of China,Zhejiang Province has shifted its focus to alleviating relative poverty by narrowing the income gap and enhancing the development capacity of disadvantaged areas and groups,and has achieved obvious results in exploring solutions to the problem of unbalanced and insufficient development,thus being given the important task of building a model zone of common prosperity.And the effectiveness of relative poverty management directly affects the realization of the goal of common prosperity.Based on a systematic review of the connotation of the concept of relative poverty and its related theories,this paper takes the rural areas of each city in Zhejiang Province as the research object,clearly depicts the current situation of relative poverty in rural areas of the province through poverty measurement,and deeply analyzes the main problems faced by relative poverty management in rural areas and their multidimensional influencing factors,then examines a series of initiatives for relative poverty management in rural areas of Zhejiang Province,and presents the partial results of stages in the form of cases,and describes the relative poverty management in Zhejiang Province for the goal of common prosperity from both theoretical and practical aspects.Firstly,we define the concepts of relative poverty and common wealth with reference to existing studies,and sort out the relevant theories to form the basic logical starting point of this thesis.At the same time,40% of the median income of the lowincome population in Zhejiang Province was determined as the relative poverty standard in rural Zhejiang Province.Secondly,a questionnaire survey was conducted to obtain the basic data of relative poverty in Zhejiang Province from the basic situation of family life,economic income and expenditure of the interviewed farm households,enjoyment of social rights and psychological condition.Again,based on the research data and the MPI index method,the incidence and extent of relative poverty in rural Zhejiang Province were measured,and further multi-dimensional deprivation measurement and comparative analysis of education,medical care and living standard of rural relatively poor households were conducted to clarify the current situation of relative poverty in Zhejiang Province and its problems and influencing factors.Finally,various initiatives in exploring relative poverty alleviation practices in Zhejiang Province in recent years are examined,as well as some of the results achieved at the present stage and suggestions for relative poverty governance in Zhejiang Province.The study found that the problems of weak risk-resistance,insufficient endogenous motivation and uneven development in various regions mainly exist in rural Zhejiang Province,and the causes are mainly weak comprehensive quality of the relatively poor groups,weak sustainable development ability of the relatively poor groups and large income disparity.The series of initiatives to combat rural relative poverty in Zhejiang Province mainly include: firstly,to establish a social security mechanism for the relative poor group’s weak ability to resist risks;secondly,to establish a mechanism to stimulate the relative poor group’s endogenous motivation;thirdly,to establish a long-term stable income-generating mechanism and an integrated mechanism for the unbalanced development of each region.Jingning County,Pan’an County,and Quzhou City are selected for stage partial effectiveness and case analysis,which provide some reference for other regions to govern relative poverty.We propose to implement a more beneficial distribution policy,strengthen the integration of rural revitalization and relative poverty management,and strengthen rural culture construction for relative poverty management in Zhejiang Province.
