CHINA'S POVERTY ALLEVIATION

Only Collective Action Can End Poverty Post-COVID-19

正For more than two decades,the global battle to eradicate extreme poverty has made steady and effective progress.Despite a number of serious environmental and economic black swan events that threatened to perilously throw efforts off course, for the past 25 years the number of people living in extreme poverty—registered as people surviving on less than $1.9 a day according to the World Bank—has dropped to record levels.

智力支边"毕节模式"的成功实践及启示

智力支边"毕节模式"有着许多成功的经验,但在沟通协调机制、扶贫绩效评估机制及理论研究等方面也存在明显的不足,有必要建立更为完善的智力支边扶贫工作机制,动员更多的社会资源与政府扶贫项目及资金有机结合以提高扶贫效率和成效.同时,有必要从集中在毕节试验区的智力支边扶贫实践中,总结出一些成熟的、切实可行的、有推广价值的经验,通...     

关于西部地区农村贫困与反贫困问题的思考

中国贫困人口越来越集中于西北部地区的趋势有其深层次的原因,包括西部地区经济发展相对缓慢,农民能在改革时期从农业增长中获得的利益有限,并且这些地区现有的贫困人口大部分居住在边远的乡镇和农村,特别是山区。该文从当前中国西部农村贫困地区的地域特征、资源秉赋条件等现实出发,提出有利于西部农村贫困人口持续脱贫的若干建议和思考。     

The Human Side of Poverty Alleviation

正Poverty shouldn't be a controversial subject, but it is. The World Bank, the World Health Organization, the U.S. State Department and pretty much every government in the world has a different definition of what poverty means. In China, absolute poverty is defined as 11 yuan a day; this is about $1.7. The World Bank disagrees and sets a higher number. In 2011 the U.S. considered people to be in poverty if their consumption was less than $21.7 a day. If that were the case, given inflation, almost all Chinese people outside of a few large cities would be in poverty. But living in China is different.     

A New Frame of Mind

Psychological health is gaining more attention, especially among China’s urban population A couple of months ago, Wu Miao found herself trapped in a bout of depression whilst on maternity leave. On the one hand, she and her husband were strapped for cash as raising a baby turned out to cost a lot more than they had initially expected, and she was earning much less during the leave. On the other hand, her mother-inlaw was temporarily staying with them to help take care of the baby, but this resulted in the occasional bickering over household trivialities.     

Valuable Lessons from Tibet's Fight Against Poverty

IN 1951,when Tibet was peacefully liberated,the poverty rate in the region was as high as 80 percent.In the following decades,the Chinese government carried out a comprehensive anti-poverty campaign in Tibet,leading to a steady decrease in the number of poor people in the region.The figure fell to 26 percent of local population in 2012,with 600,000 people still living in extreme poverty at that time. Since 2012,the Chinese government has given top priority to targeted poverty alleviation by constantly exploring innovative approaches.At the end of 2019,the government of Tibet Autonomous Region an-nounced that 628,000 people in 74 counties of the region had been lifted out of poverty,and their per capita net income had increased from RMB 1,499 (US$229) in 2015 to RMB 9,328 (US $1,426) in 2019.     

扶贫车间对农村妇女空间的再造——基于河南省的一个案例

改革开放四十多年来,伴随着经济的快速发展,中国的农村社会结构发生了剧烈变迁,其中较为显著的是大量农村家庭成员外出务工,从而带来了家庭社会关系的断裂和社会空间的分离。较男性而言,女性受到的影响更为突出。通过对河南一个扶贫车间的案例进行研究,本文发现:近几年由政府、企业和村庄社区所共建的扶贫车间,为农村妇女社会空间的再造提供了一种可能路径,但从社会保障和社会福利等角度看,扶贫车间仍然存在一些缺陷和提升空间。

The Special 'One'

One seemingly trivial issue has vexed Liu Wenyan for over 30 years. Liu only needs one shoe, but every time she goes shoe shopping she has to buy a pair. Growing up in Guizhou Province in southwest China, Liu lost one leg in a traffic accident at the age of 4. Now aged 37, she has spent over three decades searching for either a seller of single shoes, or some-one else with whom she can share the pair. Paralympic high jump star Gui Yuna, who is the same age as Liu, faces the same problem. Gui comes from Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and, at 7, also lost her leg in a car ac-cident. The accident didn't discourage her from pursuing her athletic passion and in 2007 she broke the high jump world record for women amputees at China's 2007 National Games for Persons With Disabilities. One year later, she acted as a torchbearer for the Beijing 2008 Summer Olympic Games. Despite her success, Gui is still bothered by the shoe problem.

金融支农扶贫模式研究——兼论对河北省“环首都扶贫攻坚示范区”的启示

作为有效的经济杠杆和调控手段,金融手段对扶贫开发具有重要作用。近年来,国内外微型金融扶贫模式取得了较大发展,而国内拾荷模式、乡村金融服务站、农地金融和社区发展基金等金融扶贫模式也各具特色。与国家集中连片特殊困难地区扶贫攻坚战略相对应,河北省提出了打造"环首都扶贫攻坚示范区"的战略目标,而借鉴国内外金融扶贫模式,以金融手段推进"环首都扶贫攻坚示范区"建设就成为必然选择。
