Research On The Influence Of Social Capital On Targeted Poverty Alleviation Performance Based On SEM Model

Poverty eradication has always been a strategic challenge for all countries and regions to tackle with all their might.China has been working hard to eliminate poverty.In February 2021,China achieved a comprehensive victory in its fight against poverty,completing the historic task of eliminating absolute poverty.However,China’s large population base,unbalanced regional economic development and other problems still seriously restrict the smooth implementation of the work of preventing poverty return,sustainable development and rural revitalization.At the same time,social capital theory plays an increasingly prominent role in poverty reduction research,while previous studies have failed to provide effective proof on how social capital influences poverty alleviation performance from the mechanism.Therefore,it is of great significance to systematically study the influence of social capital on the performance of targeted poverty alleviation.Based on the above background and from the perspective of social science and statistical analysis,an SEM model is constructed to conduct a study on the relationship between social capital and the performance of targeted poverty alleviation.First,comprehensive consideration of domestic and foreign literatures and field investigation,build social capital of the three latent variables(social trust,social networks and social norms)with 12 observation variables,precise aiding the poor performance of four potential(direct effect for poverty alleviation,the level of economic development,infrastructure construction and cultural education levels)and17 observed variables.Then,the research hypothesis of the model is put forward.At the same time,Likert 5-level scale was used to design the questionnaire,in order to obtain directly measurable data.Finally,324 valid questionnaires were collected.On the basis of good quality test,confirmatory factor analysis and correlation analysis of the questionnaire samples,AMOS 21.0 was used to conduct empirical analysis of the SEM model.After correction,path coefficient analysis and research hypothesis testing were carried out.he results of model analysis show that :(1)in the SEM model,the constructed index system is representative and relatively complete;(2)The improvement of social trust is conducive to the direct effect of poverty alleviation,the level of economic development,the level of facilities construction,and the level of culture and education;(3)The closer the social network is,the better the direct effect of poverty alleviation will be,and the higher the level of regional economic development,infrastructure construction,culture and education will be;(4)The improvement of social norms has a positive effect on the improvement of economic development and the level of cultural education,but cannot have a direct positive effect on the direct effect of poverty alleviation and the level of facility construction.In conclusion,social capital has a strong positive effect on the performance of targeted poverty alleviation.Finally,some policy suggestions are put forward :(1)to improve the degree of social trust,both reward and punishment,and give play to the important role of social trust;(2)Enrich social network relations and actively develop other forms of effective social network;(3)Strengthen social norms,especially system building,and promote the orderly development of poverty alleviation work.
