“…In this context, China has completed the historic elimination of absolute poverty, and needs to shift its poverty alleviation work to a "post-poverty reduction era" with a wider range of people, higher standards of poverty eradication and more sustained efforts [8]. However, China's poverty eradication model is mostly government-led, and although this top-down "campaign-style" poverty alleviation action has accomplished political tasks in the short term, the relatively backward economic development of less developed regions has not fundamentally changed [9]. Poor areas still suffer from financial exclusion, a lack of capacity and a relatively high risk of re-entering poverty [10].…”

Alleviating Relative Poverty in Rural China through a Diffusion Schema of Returning Farmer Entrepreneurship

Addressing poverty is one of the United Nations’ Millennium Development Goals. Alleviating relative poverty by stimulating the endogenous motivation of poor people to improve their ability for self-proliferation and diffusion is the focus of attention worldwide. China, as the world’s most populous country, has already left absolute poverty, and the vast rural areas are facing the challenge of managing relative poverty. We use the Delphi method to select three representative cases from the typical cases of rural entrepreneurship published by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, and describe the diffusion process and poverty reduction effect of returning farmers’ ‘entrepreneurship’ through the whole process analysis method. We found that the entrepreneurship diffusion model based on returning farmers has a bright future and great potential to improve rural poverty. Using family and local ties and the internet, returning farmers can effectively spread their entrepreneurial experience to other poor households, lowering their entrepreneurial risks and barriers, and thus collectively bringing more farmers out of poverty. The entrepreneurship diffusion of returning farmers can increase farmers’ income, promote the employment and entrepreneurship of poor households and improve the rural ecological environment, thus alleviating the multidimensional poverty of farmers in economic, social and ecological aspects. This provides an experience and reference for developing countries to solve the problems of poverty, especially poverty governance in rural areas. It is worth noting that implementing the diffusion of entrepreneurship among returning farmers requires the support of appropriate policies and the active participation of local governments.

“…Scholars have explored the components of the TPA strategy and its implementation mechanism (Li et al, 2022), distilled the TPA strategy from a geographical perspective (Yang & Liu, 2021), and examined the TPA policy process using a relational poverty governance theoretical framework (Xu et al, 2022). Besides, empirical studies have evaluated the impacts of China's poverty alleviation programs, which can be summarized into two main aspects: (1) the overall effectiveness of poverty reduction (Ascher, 2021; Hu et al, 2022); and (2) the impact of specific poverty reduction measure (Liao et al, 2021; Rahman et al, 2021). For instance, Chang et al (2022) found that the TPA program contributed to reducing absolute poverty by increasing incomes.…”

Eliminating poverty is a multifaceted global challenge and a focal point of global development governance.With the implementation of targeted poverty alleviation (TPA), China's poverty alleviation efforts have had significant achievements. This study provides a new perspective by classifying poverty-stricken households based on poverty root causes at the household level, a multi-propensity score weighting model based on counterfactual inference is employed to examine the poverty reduction effect and policy precision on six nonequivalent poverty-stricken household groups in a Chinese county. The results reveal that the poverty reduction effects differed among poverty-stricken households with different root causes of poverty. Specifically, households impoverished due to disability have the lowest income of the six groups. The assistance policy effects also vary significantly and are found to be poorly suited to poverty-stricken households a lack of labor force and funds. A robustness test confirms this conclusion and a more nuanced analysis reveals that these differences are reflected in the wage and transfer incomes. Therefore, to ensure the stability of poverty reduction and the sustainability of income for poverty-stricken households, relevant associated aid
