Research On The Poverty Reduction Effect Of Rural Dibao From The Perspective Of Multidimensional Poverty

In 2020,China eliminated absolute poverty,and poverty governance in the new era ushered in new goals,and improving the quality of poverty alleviation,consolidating poverty alleviation achievements,and preventing large-scale poverty return have become new tasks for the next stage of poverty control.The low level of education,insufficient development capacity and poor health of the rural population that has been lifted out of poverty have become the main factors for the weak results of poverty alleviation.Measuring poverty with a single income dimension is not suitable for the current requirements of poverty governance,and it is necessary to establish a multi-dimensional poverty index containing multiple dimensions to comprehensively examine the poverty problem.At present,most of the people who have been lifted out of poverty are still covered by the rural Dibao system,so the rural Dibao has also become an important social assistance system to prevent large-scale poverty reduction,and the research on the poverty reduction effect of rural Dibao is mainly focused on single-dimensional income poverty,and the article on the poverty reduction effect of rural Dibao from the perspective of multi-dimensional poverty is relatively insufficient.Under the background of the transformation of poverty control goals from eliminating absolute poverty to consolidating the achievements of poverty alleviation,this paper studies the poverty reduction effect and impact mechanism of the rural Dibao system from the perspective of multidimensional poverty,and puts forward policy suggestions for improving the rural Dibao system.This paper summarizes the mechanism of the impact of rural Dibao on multidimensional poverty as the process of transforming income into ability: the rural Dibao alleviates the income poverty of Dibao households to a certain extent by providing cash differential subsidies to Dibao households.On the one hand,rural subsistence allowances will increase the human capital investment of recipients,increase their expenditure on health,education and housing,and alleviate multidimensional poverty.On the other hand,this cash income will also bring a certain welfare dependence,reduce the recipients’ willingness to work,and exacerbate poverty alleviation.In this paper,the CHFS data from 2015 and 2017 were used in the empirical part to compare and analyze the impact and mechanism of rural Dibao on multidimensional poverty by PSM-DID.and make policy recommendations.The main conclusions are: First,rural multidimensional poverty has been greatly alleviated from 2015 to 2017.Second,rural Dibao can significantly reduce the incidence of multidimensional poverty and the adjusted multidimensional poverty index,but the impact on the multidimensional poverty intensity is not significant.Third,on the one hand,rural subsistence allowances will increase the human capital investment of recipients,improve multidimensional capabilities,and alleviate multidimensional poverty;On the other hand,it generates welfare dependence,reduces the working hours of recipients,and exacerbates multidimensional poverty.At the same time,the superposition effect of welfare amplifies the multidimensional poverty reduction effect of rural Dibao.Fourth,the higher the education level of the head of household and the stronger the quality of local basic public services,the greater the multidimensional poverty reduction effect of rural Dibao.Based on the above conclusions,this paper puts forward policy recommendations: first,improve the supporting measures of the Dibao and improve the multi-dimensional ability of residents;The second is to innovate the payment method of rural subsistence allowance and guide human capital investment;The third is to establish a dynamic exit mechanism for the Dibao to reduce welfare dependence;The fourth is to improve the construction of basic public services and improve the utilization rate of funds.
