| The Fourth Plenary Session of the 19 th CPC Central Committee proposed to "resolutely win the battle against poverty,consolidate the results of poverty eradication,and establish a long-term mechanism to address relative poverty." In this regard,General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out at the Central Rural Work Conference held at the end of 2020: "After winning the battle against poverty,we should comprehensively promote the revitalization of the countryside,which is a historic shift in the focus of the ’three rural’ work." It signifies that China’s poverty alleviation work starts a new historical journey and enters the post-poverty alleviation era with the main feature of managing relative poverty through consolidating and expanding the results of poverty eradication.It is important for rural revitalization to focus on farmers and always pay attention to the most direct interests of farmers.The livelihood situation of farming households is the most direct and fundamental manifestation of their survival.Only when the livelihood of farming households is guaranteed to be stable and sustainable,rural development will have a fundamental.As a key area for rural development and poverty management in China,ethnic areas are an important position for consolidating and expanding the results of poverty eradication and rural revitalization.The effective connection between the consolidation and expansion of poverty eradication and rural revitalization in ethnic areas is an important path to promote the cultural heritage and innovation of ethnic minorities,enhance national self-esteem and self-improvement,and maintain social stability and unity.However,at present,there are still many difficult problems to be solved in the effective connection between consolidating and expanding the achievements of poverty eradication and rural revitalization in ethnic areas.The study of the mechanism of consolidating and expanding the results of poverty eradication in ethnic areas on farmers’ livelihoods is not only helpful to the effective connection between consolidating and expanding the results of poverty eradication and rural revitalization in ethnic areas,but also important to forging a sense of Chinese national community.Based on the above background,this study takes the sustainable livelihood enhancement mechanism of ethnic village farmers in the process of consolidating and expanding the results of poverty eradication as the core objective,explores the theoretical sources and foundations of this paper through literature review,analyzes the connotation and composition of relevant variables,constructs an analytical framework,and conducts a research design and empirical analysis on the sustainable livelihood enhancement mechanism of ethnic village farmers in the process of consolidating and expanding the results of poverty eradication.The research design and empirical analysis are presented.In turn,the macro and micro approaches are combined to propose a sustainable livelihood enhancement path for ethnic village households in the process of consolidating and expanding the results of poverty eradication:The theoretical sources and foundations lay the cornerstone of the research on the mechanism of sustainable livelihood enhancement for ethnic village households in the process of consolidating and expanding the results of poverty eradication.This paper summarizes and analyzes the development history,core viewpoints,representative figures of Marxist anti-poverty theory,smallholder rationality paradigm,sustainable livelihood theory,and capital construction theory,as well as their roles and revelations in the construction of the theoretical analysis framework of sustainable livelihood enhancement mechanism for ethnic village households in the process of consolidating and expanding the results of poverty eradication,and constructs a sustainable livelihood enhancement mechanism for ethnic village households in the process of consolidating and expanding the results of poverty eradication.The theoretical basis of the sustainable livelihood enhancement mechanism for ethnic households in the process of consolidating and expanding the poverty alleviation achievements is summarized and analyzed.The connotation of the concept and the analysis of the analytical framework build the analytical paradigm of the sustainable livelihood enhancement mechanism of the ethnic village farmers in the process of consolidating and expanding the results of poverty eradication.Based on the theoretical foundation,this paper clarifies the conceptual connotation of the core variables in the mechanism of enhancing sustainable livelihood capacity of farm households in ethnic villages in the process of consolidating and expanding the results of poverty eradication,and classifies the components of consolidating and expanding the results of poverty eradication,livelihood capital and sustainable livelihood capacity of farm households;on this basis,from the two basic dimensions of consolidating and expanding the results of poverty eradication,we take livelihood capital as the link and livelihood On the basis of these two basic dimensions,an analytical framework for sustainable livelihoods of ethnic village households in the process of consolidating and expanding the results of poverty eradication is constructed and explained,with livelihood capital as the link and livelihood outcomes as the guide.The research design and empirical analysis clarify the operation mechanism of the sustainable livelihood enhancement mechanism of ethnic village farm households in the process of consolidating and expanding the results of poverty eradication.Based on the analytical framework of this paper,the research hypothesis is proposed and the conceptual model of the mechanism is constructed;from the empirical analysis logic of "field identification → qualitative research →quantitative research",a research paradigm based on "pre-research-field interview questionnaire" is designed.-Through field interviews,we discussed the current situation of consolidating and expanding the results of poverty eradication and sustainable livelihoods of farmers in the case study,and qualitatively verified the effect of consolidating and expanding the results of poverty eradication on the sustainable livelihoods of farmers from the perspective of practice.We also quantified the effect of consolidating and expanding the results of poverty eradication on the sustainable livelihoods of farming households through structural equation modeling and multiple linear regression modeling,and clarified the different factors affecting farming households with different types of livelihood strategies.The results show that: firstly,the long-term effect of the policy of consolidating and expanding the poverty eradication achievements in ethnic villages is higher than the poverty reduction effect;secondly,the accumulation of psychological capital is the highest in ethnic villages,and there are differences in the accumulation of livelihood capital among farmers with different livelihood strategy types;thirdly,the self-development ability of farmers in ethnic villages is stronger than the risk coping ability,and there are differences in the sustainable livelihood ability of farmers with different livelihood strategy types;Fourth,the consolidation and expansion of poverty eradication results has a positive effect on the livelihood capital and sustainable livelihood capacity of farm households;fifth,there is a partial mediating effect of livelihood capital between the consolidation and expansion of poverty eradication results and sustainable livelihood capacity of farm households,and only ethnic cultural capital does not have a mediating effect in terms of subdimensions;sixth,the sensitivity of different types of farm households to the consolidation and expansion of poverty eradication results and livelihood capital Sixth,there are differences in the sensitivity of different types of farmers to the consolidation and expansion of poverty reduction and livelihood capital.The macro policy orientation and micro policy differences clarify the path of sustainable livelihood capacity enhancement of ethnic village households in the process of consolidating and expanding the poverty reduction achievements.Based on the results of the empirical analysis,this paper proposes the paths to enhance sustainable livelihoods of ethnic village households in the process of consolidating and expanding the results of poverty eradication at both macro and micro levels.On the one hand,based on the important role of the long-term policy system and the intermediary role of livelihood capital in consolidating and expanding the results of poverty eradication,a policy implementation plan is formulated at the macro level to provide policy practices for government departments around the construction of a long-term policy system for poverty reduction and the accumulation of various types of livelihood capital,so as to help ethnic areas cast a firm sense of Chinese community and promote the effective connection between consolidating and expanding the results of poverty eradication and rural revitalization strategies;On the other hand,based on the survival needs of farmers who have escaped from poverty with different livelihood strategies,it helps local governments,under the guidance of macro policies,to implement targeted and differentiated policies,thus ensuring that the effective linkage between consolidating and expanding the results of poverty eradication and rural revitalization strategies can be effectively implemented. |
