Measurement And Comparative Study On Multidimensional Relative Poverty Of Rural Families In China

On February 25,2021,General Secretary Xi Jinping solemnly announced at the National Poverty Alleviation Summary and Commendation Conference that my country’s poverty alleviation battle has achieved a comprehensive victory,regional overall poverty has been solved,the arduous task of eliminating absolute poverty has been completed,and another brilliant achievement has been created.An earthly miracle in the annals of history! However,the elimination of absolute poverty does not mean that poverty reduction has been completed,and my country’s relative poverty will still exist for a long time.The Fourth Plenary Session of the 19 th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China proposed: "Resolutely win the tough battle against poverty and establish a long-term mechanism to solve relative poverty." In this context,this article uses the China Family Panel Studies(CFPS)2018 This thesis measures and analyzes the relative poverty status of rural families in my country,and empirically analyzes the influencing factors of rural families falling into relative poverty in China.This thesis interprets the relevant concepts and theories according to the previous research.Based on the international experience and previous research,the AF double critical value method is used to measure the relative poverty of rural households in my country from a multidimensional perspective.,health level,education level,subjective well-being and the multidimensional relative poverty indicator system of 5 dimensions and 12 subordinate indicators,and explain these indicators and deprivation thresholds,and then introduce the CRITIC weight method and entropy weight These two objective weighting methods are compared with the equal weight method in the following text.In the empirical part,this thesis first processes the CFPS2018 data as required,and uses Stata software and Python software to obtain the indicator weights under various weighting methods,and then measures the relative poverty of rural households in my country.The multi-dimensional relative poverty index is decomposed by region,province and dimensional indicators,and then the TOPSIS method is used to judge the pros and cons of the three weighting methods.The results show that the CRITIC method is better than the other two weighting methods.Finally,it is confirmed by constructing multiple Logit models.The influencing factors of multi-dimensional relative poverty of rural families in my country are analyzed.According to the measurement analysis results of the CRITIC method,it is found that the situation of single dimension or indicator deprivation and multi-dimensional relative poverty of rural families in my country are severe,and there are obvious differences in the relative poverty of rural families between provinces and regions,and the relative poverty of rural families in the eastern region is the best.,the central region is at the middle level,and the western and northeastern regions are the worst.The education level of adult family members,the use of the Internet and the severity of social security problems have become the top three indicators of deprivation of relatively poor rural families.The empirical analysis of influencing factors shows that the gender of the head of household,the education level of the head of the household,the health status of the head of the household,the size of the family,the proportion of the labor force,the mobility of the labor force,the relationship between people,and the expenditure of gift money have a significant impact on the multi-dimensional relative poverty of rural households.Finally,this thesis puts forward the following suggestions based on the empirical analysis results: The first is to scientifically formulate the identification standard of rural multidimensional relative poverty.The second is to promote the combination of relative poverty governance and rural revitalization,increase the popularity of the Internet,and improve the living standards of rural families.The third is to increase support for the western and northeastern regions and narrow the development gap between regions and between urban and rural areas.The fourth is to increase investment in education in rural areas and increase the number of years of compulsory education.The fifth is to attach importance to social security issues,further improve the multi-level social security system,and improve the subjective welfare level of rural families.
