The Poverty Alleviation Effect Of Rural Pension Insurance

At the end of 2020,China’s poverty alleviation battle achieved a comprehensive victory,the cumulative reduction of the country’s rural poor population was 98.99 million,the incidence of poverty decreased by 1.3 percentage points per year,and the overall regional poverty was solved,but poverty alleviation is not the end,and the people who have been lifted out of poverty still have the risk of returning to poverty,so it is necessary to continue to study the poverty problem from a new perspective.In China’s poverty alleviation work,the rural endowment insurance system plays an irreplaceable role in solving the problem of poverty,and has become the key to ensuring the living standards of the elderly,alleviating rural poverty and stabilizing the expectation of old-age care.So what are the short-and long-term poverty reduction effects of rural pension insurance policies? Answering this question is of very important for securing China’s poverty alleviation undertaking and implementing rural endowment insurance policies.This thesis selects dynamic multi-dimensional poverty vulnerability indicators,and then combines static multi-dimensional poverty indicators to evaluate the poverty reduction effect of rural pension insurance by the logical idea of "framework construction-impact assessment-conclusions and recommendations".Firstly,based on the theory of risk shock,sustainable livelihood theory,anti-poverty with Chinese characteristics and poverty vulnerability,the index system of multi-dimensional poverty and multi-dimensional poverty vulnerability is constructed,and the poverty status of rural households in China is analyzed.Secondly,using the A-F double-limit way to measure the multi-dimensional poverty index of rural households in China by data from 2014 to2018 in CFPS,and the impact of rural endowment insurance on multi-dimensional poverty of families was empirically discussed on the basis of the calculation to evaluate the short-term poverty reduction effect of rural endowment insurance.The multidimensional poverty vulnerability of rural households in China was measured by VEP method,and the influence effect and mechanism of rural endowment insurance on the multi-dimensional poverty vulnerability of families were empirically discussed on this basis to evaluate the long-term poverty reduction effect of rural endowment insurance.Finally,the conclusions of the above analysis are summarized and corresponding suggestions are put forward.Compared with the existing research,the main innovations of this thesis include:(1)The existing literature mainly focuses on the study of single-dimensional poverty vulnerability,but poverty is multi-dimensional,and only studying poverty vulnerability from a single income or consumption perspective can not fully reflect the current situation of poverty in China,and this thesis will measure poverty vulnerability from multiple dimensions.(2)The existing literature only considers the multi-dimensional poverty or multi-dimensional poverty vulnerability perspective in the research on the poverty reduction effect of rural pension insurance,and this thesis combines these two perspectives to examine the poverty reduction effect of rural pension insurance from both short-term and long-term aspects.
