Study On Identification And Control Of Relative Poverty In Agricuiture And Pastoral Areas Of Tibet

Since the reform and opening up,China has created a miracle of economic growth and poverty reduction in the history of world development.It has completed the task of overcoming poverty in the new era on schedule,and has achieved all poverty eradication under the current standards.Under the correct leadership of the Party and the state,the Tibet Autonomous Region has implemented poverty alleviation and targeted poverty alleviation.By 2020,all the current poverty-stricken people in the Tibet Autonomous Region will be lifted out of poverty,and all the poverty-stricken counties will be cleared of the number of people who have been decapitated and registered.This has historically eliminated absolute poverty.However,after the elimination of absolute poverty,the problem of relative poverty has become increasingly prominent and will exist for a long time.The focus of poverty alleviation in China will also shift from absolute poverty to relative poverty,as is the case in Tibet.As a western ethnic region,Tibet’s relative poverty in rural areas is becoming more and more serious.The governance of relative poverty in Tibetan agricultural and pastoral areas will become the key and difficult point to alleviate the relative poverty in Tibet.Therefore,the establishment of a long-term mechanism to alleviate relative poverty in Tibetan agricultural and pastoral areas will become the focus of the work of relative poverty governance in Tibet.In this paper,1104 micro survey data of farmers and herdsmen were obtained by visiting and investigating many regions in Tibetan agricultural and pastoral areas through questionnaire survey.Based on the feasible ability theory and endogenous development theory,and on the basis of combing and analyzing domestic and foreign literature and research results,the A-F double boundary method is used to identify and measure the relative poverty in Tibetan agricultural and pastoral areas from four dimensions,namely,material dimension,ability dimension,right dimension,and spiritual dimension.Secondly,analyzing the basic characteristics of relative poverty in Tibet’s agricultural and pastoral areas,and use logistic regression analysis to calculate the influencing factors of relative poverty in Tibet’s agricultural and pastoral areas.Finally,on the basis of empirical analysis,it summarizes the research conclusions,analyzes the causes of the problems,and puts forward policy recommendations to alleviate the relative poverty in the agricultural and pastoral areas of Tibet,with a view to providing reference for the governance of relative poverty in Tibet and the western ethnic areas of China.The research found that:(1)the scope and depth of relative poverty in Tibet’s agricultural and pastoral areas are wide,and the factors causing poverty in Tibet’s agricultural and pastoral areas are diverse,and the impact of different factors causing poverty is quite different.(2)From the perspective of single-dimension poverty measurement results,technical employment training and human capital have the highest incidence of relative poverty,and have the greatest impact on the relative poverty in Tibet’s agricultural and pastoral areas.(3)From the multi-dimensional poverty measurement results,the relative poverty in Tibet’s agricultural and pastoral areas is the most serious in the dimension of capacity,followed by the spiritual dimension and the right dimension.At the indicator level,the contribution rate of information access to relative poverty ranks first,followed by skills employment training and human capital.(4)From the analysis of basic characteristics,compared with non-relatively poor families,the relatively poor families in agricultural and pastoral areas have older heads of households,lower proportion of party members,larger family size,and less livelihood ability.(5)According to the results of logistic regression analysis,age,family size,and the distance between the region and the city have significant positive effects on relative poverty in Tibet’s agricultural and pastoral areas,while political outlook,Chinese proficiency,Whether family members have vocational skill certificates,family communication skills,and the level of economic development in the region have significant negative effects on relative poverty in Tibet’s agricultural and pastoral areas.(6)From a horizontal perspective,the relative poverty situation in Tibet’s agricultural and pastoral areas will be eased in 2022 compared with 2021,but the influencing factors of relative poverty will change dynamically,showing dynamic characteristic.To sum up,the governance of relative poverty in Tibetan agricultural and pastoral areas should improve the long-term dynamic governance mechanism of relative poverty,promote the economic development of agricultural and pastoral areas,strengthen infrastructure construction,enhance human capital in agricultural and pastoral areas,strengthen education skills training,optimize the access to information of farmers and herdsmen,stimulate the endogenous power of farmers and herdsmen,and alleviate the relative poverty in Tibetan agricultural and pastoral areas from a deeper level.
