To achieve poverty reduction has become increasingly difficult in many developing countries. From 1995 to 2007, government financial education investment has increased faster than ever before. At the same time, the labor force has a significant change in education. In addition, the Government, through the promoting economic growth and implement policies of poverty reduction, increasing investment in education, increasing the level of labor force caused by the increased level of education, can effectively reduce poverty. Therefore, education on the impact of changes in poverty, have important theoretical and practical significance.In this paper, we study the changes in our educational investment effact on poverty basicing on theory of modern economics and using various analysis methods.
