Study Of Government Behaviour For Sustainable Poverty Alleviation In County K From Livelihood Capital Perspective

By the end of 2020,China will have achieved a comprehensive victory in poverty eradication,with all poor people removed from poverty and all poor counties out of poverty,and the issue of poverty governance in China will have made a splendid achievement that has attracted worldwide attention.The occurrence and development of poverty is closely related to the natural environment,human resource conditions and other livelihood capital.How to consolidate the results after poverty eradication,prevent the return of poverty to poverty and achieve sustainable poverty eradication is a new challenge and problem faced by governments at all levels at this stage.As the leading and implementing agent of poverty alleviation and development,promoting sustainable poverty eradication is one of the functions of the government,a major manifestation of government behaviour and an important task of public governance.It is necessary and urgent to study the accurate positioning of government behaviour in the process of sustainable poverty eradication and reduce the deviations of government behaviour in sustainable poverty eradication,so as to effectively consolidate the results of poverty eradication and ensure that sustainable poverty eradication policies are implemented in place and are lasting and effective.Based on the perspective of livelihood capital,this paper takes County K,a national poverty-stricken county,as the research object,and uses literature analysis,questionnaires and case studies to study the current situation of livelihood capital in County K.It analyses the risks of returning to poverty caused by natural,human,physical,financial and social capital of farmers in County K after they have escaped from poverty,and summarises the effects of government policies and behavioural initiatives at all levels in the sustainable poverty eradication process in County K.The study analyzes the reasons for the deviations in government behaviour.The study concludes that there are different degrees of deviations in the behaviour of county and township governments in terms of natural capital,human capital,physical capital,financial capital and social capital in the sustainable poverty eradication in County K.The deviations mainly stem from the imperfect construction of the relevant institutions for sustainable poverty eradication,the imprecise monitoring and assistance work to prevent poverty return,and the weakening of poverty alleviation industries and the decline of income growth rate.On this basis,the thesis draws on the advanced experience of government behaviour in sustainable poverty eradication in County Z,including building a solid ecological defence to stabilise natural capital,strengthening human resources to enhance human capital,constructing a poverty return prevention system to safeguard physical capital,promoting the participation of multiple actors to strengthen social capital,and developing regional industrial clusters to promote financial capital.In this regard,the measures for optimising the government’s behaviour in sustainable poverty alleviation in K County are:strengthening the positioning of the government’s behaviour in sustainable poverty alleviation;establishing a risk warning mechanism to build an ecological security barrier;extensively carrying out skills training to build the capacity to get rid of poverty and get rich;increasing supervision and maintenance efforts to strengthen the public service system;developing special industrial projects to broaden investment and financing channels;and building a multi-dimensional help platform to realise shared governance,etc.,from natural capital,human capital,physical capital and financial capital.The five dimensions of capital,human capital,physical capital,financial capital and social capital will enable sustainable poverty eradication,consolidate the results of poverty eradication and further link to rural revitalization.It is expected that the performance and causes of deviations of government behaviour in sustainable poverty eradication in County K,as summarised and analysed in this study,will propose practical measures for improvement and optimisation,which will enrich theories of sustainable poverty eradication,livelihood capital and public governance,and provide empirical references and lessons for sustainable poverty eradication measures in other regions.
