Wang, Yifan, He Li, and Rong Zhao. "The Role of Forestry-Based Policies in Alleviating Relative Poverty in the Rocky Desertification Area in Southwest China." International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health 19, no. 23 (November 30, 2022): 16049. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/ijerph192316049.
Full textAbstract:
China has put forward a series of forestry-based poverty alleviation policies, aiming to alleviate poverty and improve the livelihoods of rural households, especially in backward and ecologically fragile areas with rich forest resources. Based on field survey data, we used an empirical analysis method to investigate the role of forestry-based policies in alleviating the relative poverty of rural households in the rocky desertification area in southwest China. The Logit regression results demonstrate that forestry-based poverty alleviation policies are significant at alleviating the relative poverty of rural households, and there are differences in the degree and significance of the impact of various forestry-based poverty alleviation policies. In particular, the forestry industry support (FIS) policy, the ecological forest rangers (EFRs) policy, and the Sloping Land Conversion Program (SLCP) can significantly decrease the incidence of relative poverty of rural households, while the effect of the Public Benefit Forest Compensation Program (PBFC) on decreasing the incidence of relative poverty is not significant. The findings contribute to a better understanding of the role and effectiveness of China’s forestry-based poverty alleviation policies, and can provide a reference for optimizing the forestry poverty alleviation policies for the specific area and even the whole nation, as well as provide experience for worldwide poverty alleviation by forestry.

Purpose Poverty alleviation is a global challenge. Human society has never ceased to fight against poverty. China was once the developing country with the largest rural poor population in the world. Remarkable achievements have been made in China’s antipoverty program over the past decades, shaping a unique poverty reduction strategy with Chinese characteristics. The purpose of this paper is to first review the history of China’s rural reform and antipoverty, and then analyze the related policy systems, mechanism innovations and future challenges in poverty alleviation and development. At last, some specific policy implications were provided. Design/methodology/approach Literature on China’s antipoverty history was reviewed and mechanism innovations on targeted poverty alleviation strategy were investigated. Findings Along with the deepening of the rural reform, the poverty alleviation and development in new China have undergone six stages, and experienced a transformation from relief-oriented to development-oriented poverty alleviation. The object of poverty alleviation has gradually targeted with a transformation from poor counties/areas to villages/households, and the effectiveness of poverty alleviation is also gradually improved. However, the increase in the difficulty of antipoverty, fragile ecological environment, rapid population aging and rural decline poses challenges to the construction of a well-off society in an all-round way in China. Specific antipoverty measures were put forward based on the investigation. Finally, the authors emphasize the importance of strengthening the study of poverty geography. Originality/value This study investigates the history of China’s antipoverty policy and analyzes the future challenges for implementing targeted poverty alleviation policy. These findings will lay a foundation for the formulation of China’s antipoverty policies after 2020, and provide experience for poverty alleviation in other developing countries around the world.

Purpose The Chinese Government initiates the targeted poverty alleviation strategy to lift 70.17 million population out of poverty in five years time until 2020. The purpose of this paper is to investigate how the targeted poverty alleviation policy was implemented. The investigation focusses on the people’s voices, implementation challenges and implications for policy making and improvement. Design/methodology/approach A nationwide survey covering 2,075 households in 22 impoverished counties of 13 provinces was carried out in August, 2015, providing rich statistics and evidence for the paper. Literature review of China’s poverty alleviation history is also made to lay a research basis for the study. Findings There are diverse needs of the impoverished households of different ages and different poverty causes. The defects of the policy are revealed such as the impractical way of accurate poverty identification, the existence of poverty-returning problem and passive poverty alleviation. Originality/value The study of the paper investigates the current challenges for carrying out the targeted poverty alleviation and indicates implications for policy improvement. These contribute to the effectiveness and efficiency of the targeted poverty alleviation policy in China.

Full textAbstract:
The mandate to eradicate poverty is part of the mission of the presence of Islam as a religion of rahmatan lil 'alamin. Poverty alleviation is one of the main aspects of development, as stated in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This study aims to determine two things: (1) What is the poverty alleviation strategy based on family empowerment in Indonesia?; (2) What is the perspective of Islamic law on poverty alleviation strategies through family empowerment? Poverty alleviation policies in Indonesia are operationalized in various forms of activity, including targeting family empowerment programs. This study uses a literature review method. Based on the results of the analysis, it was found that the poverty alleviation strategy through family empowerment was in three main policy groups, namely the social assistance and protection-based policy group, the participatory empowerment-based policy group, and the micro and small business empowerment-based policy group. Both strategies are in line with Islamic teachings, which contain poverty alleviation.

Full textAbstract:
The poverty alleviation microcredit policy is an important financial poverty alleviation policy that has been widely implemented in China in recent years. However, whether this policy can effectively increase the income of poor households is controversial. In order to measure the implementation effect of the policy, we analyzed the mechanism of the poverty alleviation microcredit on the income of poor households. Then, the paper used micro-survey data to conduct an empirical test using the propensity score matching method to study its effect on the production income of these poor households. The results show that the poverty alleviation microcredit positively affects the production income of poor households, including those who are poor due to lack of funds and poor households with female heads. Therefore, we should continue to implement the poverty alleviation microcredit policy, and establish relevant supporting measures, such as strengthening agricultural production capital subsidies, increasing agricultural production insurance, further improving the implementation efficiency of the poverty alleviation microcredit policy, and increasing the income of poor households.

Full textAbstract:
Poverty alleviation has been a perpetual challenge to the contemporary world. Bangladesh is one of the world's poorest countries and about 45% of the total population are living below the poverty line. It is vital for Bangladesh to re-evaluate its policy on poverty alleviation in which microfinance has been a crucial element. Microfinance is now being recognised as one of the most impetus and effective mechanisms for poverty alleviation. Poverty leads to many problems in the society. Lack of access to education, family disintegration, poor quality of life, lower health status, unavailability of safe water, lack of sanitation, and absence of social life, are the major effects of poverty. It is the contention of this paper that social work by acquiring a community development role can help microfinance policy makers develop new policy or reverse existing policy for poverty alleviation in Bangladesh. Social work can also influence actors involved in the field of poverty alleviation from local and international humanity institutions or organisations to adopt new findings to minimise the issues of poverty.

Poverty and social welfare issues show an increase over time, both in the number, and the quality. On the other hand, the policy responses to social welfare issues from various parties are not sufficient to tackle those problems. This study aims to describe poverty and policy of West Java Provincial Government in poverty alleviation. The research is expected to contribute to the improvement of policy in poverty alleviation and affect the condition of West Java society to be more prosperous. The research design is Qualitative Descriptive. The informants are several Civil State Apparatuses who are capable to represent Regional Work Unit/ Organization at the provincial level. Data Collecting Techniques consist of interviews, focus group discussions, and documentation studies. Data Validation is done using triangulation between data sources and techniques. The results showed that West Java's economy grew on average above 5%, while the average poverty reduction rate was only 0.46% per year. These conditions have an impact on the increased number of people who are below the poverty threshold and also affect the index of depth and severity of poverty. The situation is similar for other social welfare issues, such as socio-economic vulnerable groups, homeless, beggars, and scavengers, neglected elderly, and children who need social protection. To overcome those problems, several policies have been prepared. The obstacle is, social welfare planning and policy are often only viewed as a complement to development planning and policy framework when they should be considered as an integrative, priority and substantive element that must be implemented. Various regulations and policies on poverty alleviation and other social welfare issues are still limited. Regulation at the central level is sufficient, but local governments have not been fully able to describe and operationalize it with various rules, either at the level of Regional Regulation, Governor Regulation, Mayor Regulation, or Regent Regulation. Legislation regulation and poverty alleviation are government’s (central and local) full responsibility, so coordination and a common commitment are needed to address poverty and increase equity. West Java Provincial Policy needs to prioritize efforts to increase funding through funding synergies with central and district / city governments in order to finance more comprehensive and broader poverty reduction programs.

Full textAbstract:
Alleviating poverty is a critical problem in many developing countries such as China. In this paper, we consider a poverty-alleviation supply chain composed of one supplier in a poor area and one producer helping the supplier reduce poverty by fulfilling Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Our work aims at examining the impacts of government subsidies and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) on the poverty-alleviation operations. Four game-theoretic models are constructed and analyzed to investigate the impacts of coefficients of government subsidies and CSR cost sharing on the supplier’s and producer’s profits, social welfare growth, CSR level, wholesale price, output of the supplier, and retail price. Our findings suggest that the most effective poverty-alleviation mechanism in most cases is the combination of government subsidies and market efforts. Contrary to common beliefs that companies have to sacrifice profit for social responsibility, we show that poverty alleviation is reconcilable with profit maximization and social welfare improvement, and companies can achieve a win-win situation of both poverty alleviation and profitability. Our work provides new insights for sustainable poverty alleviation and socially sustainable operations.

Full textAbstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced people to pay more attention to the negative impacts of economic policy uncertainty on energy poverty. Meanwhile, through financial expenditure, governments might play a critical role in energy poverty alleviation, but there is little focus on this factor in the literature. We employ a panel threshold model to investigate the threshold effect of economic policy uncertainty between financial expenditure and energy poverty. This model can keenly explore the time-varying characteristics of financial expenditure. In order to control the endogenous influence, the estimators of the panel least square method are used to replace the corresponding endogenous variables. We find that financial expenditure has a significant positive effect on energy poverty alleviation, and that the positive effect has the threshold characteristic of economic policy uncertainty. With the rise in economic policy uncertainty, the positive effect of financial expenditure on energy poverty is continuously enhanced. Furthermore, we find that financial expenditure plays a more significant role in alleviating energy poverty in emerging economies than it does in developed economies.

In the new era, poverty alleviation work is guided by precision poverty alleviation, with "true poverty alleviation and poverty alleviation" as its core. When implementing the targeted poverty alleviation policy, no matter from the precise identification or assistance measures and the setting of the assessment mechanism, specific legal guidelines are needed. Poverty reduction by the rule of law can not only make precision poverty alleviable by law, but also enable citizens to safeguard their due rights through the law. At the same time, poverty reduction by the rule of law has higher requirements for the legal literacy of poverty alleviation workers in order to better implement " Seek truth from facts and adapt to local conditions."

Since General Secretary Xi Jinping proposed the policy of precise poverty alleviation in 2014, localities have made sufficient preparations to actively promote the implementation of poverty alleviation policies. China gained a comprehensive victory in poverty eradication in 2020, and the experience process is worth studying as each region has developed poverty eradication policies with local characteristics and achieved good implementation results. This article uses the Mitt-Horn system model of the policy implementation process as a framework to study the implementation of the precision poverty reduction policy in Luotan Village, Zhangjiajie City, Xiangxi Province. The study shows that the implementation of poverty alleviation policies in Luotan village of Zhangjiajie City is closely related to the degree of coordination between the respective functions and interactions of six factors: policy goals and standards, policy resources, implementation methods, characteristics of policy implementation agencies, system environment, and values of policy implementation personnel. Therefore, with the help of this model, we can better understand how poverty alleviation policies are effectively implemented in Luotan village, and encourage the participation of multiple parties to broaden the path of rural economic development and stimulate the endogenous power of rural construction.

Poverty is currently a major problem that must be resolved in various regions in Indonesia, including areas in Java. Java Island is the island with the highest number of poor people compared to other islands in Indonesia. The aim of this study was to determine the determinants of poverty levels in Java and formulate policy recommendations that can be implied to overcome poverty. Research variables have used secondary data from six provinces in Java sourced from the Central Statistics Agency, namely poverty level data, Human Development Index (HDI), inflation rate data, open unemployment rate data, and Regional Minimum Wage data (UMR). The data was compiled into panel data and analyzed using OLS Model. The analysis showed that the determinants of poverty levels in Java were inflation rates, Human Development Index, Regional Minimum Wages, and open unemployment rates, so that all determinants need to be considered properly to formulate policy recommendations that able to overcome poverty in Java.

In-depth promotion of poverty alleviation and comprehensive implementation of the rural revitalization strategy are important strategic tasks during the period of China’s construction of a moderately prosperous society. At present, the poverty alleviation and rural revitalization are in a period of historical convergence, and the intensity of policies and investment is unprecedentedly huge. Rural revitalization is what we must continue to do after poverty alleviation. Only when the two are seamlessly connected can the results of poverty alleviation have consolidated, and rural revitalization policies can have effectively implemented. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to use the system as the support, to make up for shortcomings as the focus, to solve the problem as the orientation, and to improve the system and mechanism of rural revitalization based on consolidating the results of poverty alleviation. This article puts forward the research on the countermeasures for the revitalization and development of agricultural industries in poverty-stricken areas, which is conducive to the upgrading of agricultural products under the guidance of the rural revitalization strategy and the plan to return to poverty after 2020. It also helps to re-understand rural revitalization in the process of poverty alleviation, learn from the valuable experience accumulated in poverty alleviation, and steadily promote high-quality agricultural products.

The traditional macroeconomic approach to poverty alleviation in neighborhoods and communities is to use housing development and job-creation programs to address the income and the opportunity gaps. Entrepreneurship is a much less used poverty alleviation strategy that, in our estimation, can have a significant effect in favorable policy environments. After a brief literature review, we highlight policy approaches that use entrepreneurship as a poverty alleviation strategy. We present several case studies from the United States as evidence of how public policy can empower an entrepreneurial ecosystem to support the self-employed and other low-income entrepreneurs. We conclude with a framework for how public policy can alleviate poverty through entrepreneurship that is generalizable in other contexts.

Full textAbstract:
As a population group with income and/or expenditure that is alarmingly close to the poverty line, the position of transient poor can be very unstable. They are in a constant vulnerability of falling under the poverty line with every critical situation that arises, which are affected by disasters, social conflicts, termination of employment, and/or changes in public policy especially in the economic sector. Up to 2015, poverty alleviation programs in Indonesia is divided into four clusters: social protection, community empowerment, small scale credit, and pro-poor supported program. Strangely, there is not a single clause in any of the four clusters that elaborates the policy schemes that addressed to the transient poor. The research is aimed to triangulate the position of transient poor groups in the poverty alleviation policy framework. Additionally, this research is also aimed to clarify the agenda-setting process in the formulation of poverty alleviation policy that neglects the transient poverty issues mitigation. The methodology used in this research is descriptive qualitative. Two major findings can be derived as the conclusions from the research. Firstly, the position of transient poor population is not included in the poverty alleviation policy scheme. The existing policy alleviation scheme does not accommodate the needs and tailored approach to cater to transient poor population. Secondly, the oversight to catering to transient poor population starts even from the agenda-setting in policy formulation processes. This is seen from the fact that transient poverty issues are not exposed to the problem stream, policy stream, and political stream that utilizes policy window to discuss transient poor issues throughout the agenda-setting.

From the perspective of policy tools, this paper using content analysis to analyze 43 central-level policy texts related to forest protection from 1990 to 2016, and divides forest protection policy tools into 16 items and 4 major types. Research conclusion: Among the four policy tools, command-and-control policy tools are used the most, followed by economic incentives, and the use of information disclosure and voluntary participation policy tools is relatively inadequate. Based on the above conclusions, this paper makes the following suggestions: To increase the use of economic incentives, information disclosure and voluntary participation policy tools, it is also possible to strengthen the use of information disclosure and voluntary participation policy tools through reasonable system design.

Abstract Poverty in Indonesia is still a major problem in national development. Therefore, poverty is still a top priority program that must be carried out by various regions in Indonesia. Various models of regional policies have been created to promote poverty alleviation. This study aims to evaluate and analyze the poverty alleviation policy model that has been carried out by the Sumedang Regency Government and the Magelang Regency Government and its impact on the socio-economic sector through a spatial approach. The research was carried out with a qualitative descriptive method using secondary data derived from official government documents covering poverty alleviation policies and their performance achievements. This study is able to show a scientific deepening of the form of poverty reduction supported by the sensitivity of regional policies to provide space in the process of spatial-based regional economic development. The results of this study present a partial spatial strategy that must be carried out, including agricultural intensification from the small farming sector, the development of a more dynamic commercial agriculture sector, providing growth stimulation in the non-agricultural rural sector, shifting the productive age population and providing a safety net for those trapped in poverty. poverty as an alternative in solving poverty alleviation. This strategy can be used as a recommendation for further improvement of poverty alleviation policies by presenting policy implications and a roadmap for the action plan.

India adopted a centralized development strategy after independence. The development strategy focusing on high growth postulated that the benefits of such growth would percolate down and would mitigate problems of income inequality, unemployment and poverty. Empirical evidence of the 1950s and 1960s, however, did not lend support to this ‘trickle down’ hypothesis. As a consequence social justice (i.e. equity) was added as another principal concern to the development strategy. In the 1970's, ‘Garibi Hatao’ (i.e. removal of poverty) was the buzzword among policy makers. With a view to solve the problems of unemployment and poverty, both the central and the state governments initiated a series of programs. The growing significance of poverty alleviation programs in planning evinced interest among scholars for poverty studies.

Economic literature shows correlation in poverty alleviation and socioeconomic development. The researchers become increasingly responsive to the poverty alleviation when giving policy suggestions to the stakeholders about socio-economic development. If socio-economic development is the function of poverty alleviation then the crucial role of the determinants of poverty alleviation cannot be challenged. Though poverty alleviation needs a multi-dimensional approach to combat the issue, however modern economic literature uses economic dimension e.g. income of the household as a determinant of poverty alleviation. Present study suggest that it’s not only income that impact the poverty alleviation and socio-economic development but practically the capability of household for consumption and saving actually determines the poverty alleviation. Consequently the effective capability of the household to consume and save is the prerequisite. This study is based on the data obtained from 300 households using the proportional stratified sampling technique in the urban area of Peshawar District to quantify the factors that determine income, consumption and saving function of the urban households that in turn effect the poverty alleviation and socio-economic development. Hence the present study identifies the factors that directly or indirectly ascribed for poverty alleviation and socio-economic development in Pakistan.

Although the literature concerning poverty is rich in theory and policy suggestion, the implementation of poverty alleviation is still poorly studied. This study aims to answer the question of what could be considered a good framework for poverty alleviation and how to implement it in rural areas. Based on China’s experience, we here conceptualize an implementation framework and process by using a systemic approach. A five-year case study of over fourteen thousand poor households is used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the framework and process. The case study results show that poverty alleviation measures have been successfully implemented following the framework and process, and the absolute poverty is eliminated. Key characteristics of China’s poverty alleviation program, such as people-centered philosophy, pro-poor development, functional institution, systematic anti-poverty measures, and social mobilization may be useful for other poverty alleviation implementation approaches. The novel implementation framework and process, and pro-poor development strategy in this study can provide valuable experience for other poverty alleviation programs, and more similar poverty alleviation programs would make a significant contribution to the shared Sustainable Development Goals.

Poverty alleviation has continuously become one of the main concerns of the socio-economic policy worldwide. This crucial phenomenon is bounded on necessity toward monetary and comprehends by social, economic, political, and physiological aspects. In Malaysia, although the New Economic Policy in 1971 has succeeded in reducing the country's poverty incident, poverty's pocket continues to exist with high incidences of poverty among specific ethnic groups and localities. For instance, rural poverty among the Iban community in Sarawak has occurred since Malaysian independence. Therefore, this paper examines the rural residents' perceptions of the State's role in poverty alleviation in Sarawak using a qualitative approach. Findings revealed that although the government has various programs to alleviate poverty, the social assistance related to poverty was not efficiently distributed in Sarawak's rural areas. This study also revealed that a lack of social infrastructures, such as road accessibility, has significantly influenced social assistance's efficiency distribution in rural areas.

Poverty alleviation is the basic requirement of human social development. However, there is still a lack of quantitative research on the poverty alleviation effect of regional, characteristic industries. Few studies have focused on the increase of micro individual income and used more advanced policy evaluation tools for comparative analysis based on a quasi-experimental perspective. In addition, the existing research ignores the critical question: can characteristic industries really achieve sustainable development goals while bringing poverty alleviation results? We studied regional, characteristic industries from a new perspective, taking into account the poverty alleviation effect and regional sustainable development. Based on the survey data of 901 households of representative village committees of Tanglang and Dache in Luquan Yi and Miao Autonomous County, this study quantitatively analyzed the poverty alleviation effect of the sorghum planting industry by using the Propensity Score Matching Difference-in-Differences (PSM-DID) model. The adoption of the industrial alleviation policy has significantly increased the per capita net income of rural households in Tanglang and Dache village committees, by 2171.64 CNY and 1945.06 CNY, respectively. The estimation results of the whole sample show that the effect of the policy to the per capita net income of households is 1726.87 CNY. The development of the sorghum planting poverty alleviation industry in Luquan County has promoted income increase of households significantly, creating economic, social and ecological sustainability, and can provide a reference for less-favoured areas.

The China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) proposed the green channel policy for poverty alleviation Initial Public Offerings (IPOs), aiming to help poverty-stricken areas reduce poverty and increase income, but it has an impact on the business performance of the companies involved. This paper uses data from public annual reports of listed companies to construct a policy intervention group and a control group and comparatively analyzes the degree of annual performance downturn of newly listed companies in A-share from 2016 to 2017 through a counterfactual method, and the results show that the “IPO green channel” policy for poverty alleviation has an obvious negative effect on listed enterprises in poverty-stricken counties. The results show that enterprises listed via the green channel have more significant performance downturn than those listed normally during the same period. This paper suggests that the distortion of the market issuance system causes the declining of the quality of IPO firms. Finally, this paper suggests that regulators should cooperate with local governments actively to ensure the smooth implementation of the government’s poverty alleviation efforts while balancing market equity and efficiency. The SFC should take more consideration of institutional compatibility for policy output in financial poverty alleviation to avoid institutional alienation and distortion of corporate behavior.

IntroductionSince the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC), remarkable achievements have been made in poverty alleviation. Over the past five years, the population of people living in poverty had decreased by 68.53million, fallen from 98.99 million in 2012 to 30.46 million at the end of 2017. As an impoverished province, Hebei province has been implementing the CPC Central Committee's guidance in the battle against poverty. In 2016, the government released the Implementation Scheme Plan for Improving the Level of Medical Security and Assistance. The plan introduces multi-layer medical security and assistance mechanisms which covers basic medical insurance, major disease insurance and medical assistance. In 2017, the government formulated the Implementation Plan for the Three-Batch Action Plan on the Health Care Program for Poverty Alleviation in Hebei Province, for people with major disease. Hebei Province has carried out many explorations on the health care program for poverty alleviation, and its effectiveness is a problem worthy of attention.MethodsBased on data including basic medical insurance, major illness insurance, medical assistance, and other related information, we used descriptive statistics and quantitative methods to evaluate the overall expenditure of the poverty alleviation for Hebei province and the areas under its jurisdiction. Additionally, the expenditure of different levels of medical security system, the medical burden for people facing poverty and the distribution of disease in the population with assistance were evaluated.ResultsThe out-of-pocket payment per capita has decreased year by year, and it has dropped to 3% of catastrophic medical expenditure and 20% below the poverty line by June 2018. An imbalanced situation occurred with the implementation, with the more impoverished areas having greater the pressure on medical care and poverty alleviation. For people with medical assistance, diseases with higher population and overall expenditure are cerebrovascular disease, malignant tumor, diabetes and some other chronic diseases.ConclusionsThe health policies for poverty alleviation in Hebei province has achieved a remarkable success, and the medical burden of the poor has been significantly reduced. However, the implementation of the policies in various cities has shown an imbalanced situation, and the poverty alleviation policies need to be further improved.

Poverty eradication has been listed as SDG1 in the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. China has fulfilled SDG1 ten years ahead of the schedule in 2020. Tourism has played a significant role in poverty alleviation in China owing to the formulation and implementation of Tourism-assisting Poverty Policies (TAPPs), which is a typical example of pro-poor tourism (PPT) initiative in developing countries. However, the international academic circles have little knowledge of how TAPPs have made tourism a major poverty alleviation means that can be perceived by identifying the match of TAPP targets and TAPP instruments since 1980’s. This study is based on the Rothwell ‘s policy tool taxonomy that proposes a theoretical framework of TAPP targets-TAPP instruments and analyzes the evolution and distribution characteristics of policy tools in 64 Chinese national TAPP texts from 1984 to 2020. It’s found that the TAPP tool mix mainly consists of environmental policies, supply-side policies besides the less proportion of demand-side policies. Legal and regulatory, financial, public service and project development are the policy tools most frequently employed to achieve TAPP targets over time. The TAPP evolution follows the path from boosting regional economic development to promoting endogenous poverty alleviation capabilities in rural areas, which is consistent with the phased goals of Chinese tourism development strategies and poverty alleviation programs. This study aims to fill in the lack of the international academic community’s understanding of Chinese TAPPs’ role in pushing tourism to play a major role in poverty alleviation and generate fresh insight into the dynamics of policy instrument and mix. It provides reference for China’s efforts to consolidate the poverty alleviation achievements through tourism and sustain TAPPs’ positive role in China’s rural revitalization.

PurposePoverty alleviation has been a major theme of China's modernization process since the founding of New China. This paper points out that China's poverty alleviation process presents three stylized facts: “Miraculous” achievements of poverty alleviation have been made on a global scale; the poverty alleviation achievements mainly occurred in the high growth stage after reform and opening up; the poverty alleviation process is accompanied by the structural transformation of the urban–rural dual economy.Design/methodology/approachTherefore, a logically consistent analytical framework should form among the structural transformation of the dual economy, economic growth and the achievements in poverty alleviation. In logical deduction, the structural transformation of the dual economy affects rural poverty alleviation through the effects of labor reallocation, agricultural productivity improvement, demographic change and fiscal resource allocation.FindingsThe first two refer to economic growth, and the latter two are alleviation policies. The combination of economic growth and poverty alleviation policies is the main cause for poverty alleviation performance. China's empirical evidence can support the four effects by which the structural transformation of the dual economy affects poverty alleviation.Originality/valueChina's socialist system and its economic system transformation after reform and opening up provide an institutional basis for the effects to come into play. After 2020, China's poverty alleviation strategies will enter the “second-half” phase, namely, the phase of solving the problems of relative poverty in urban and rural areas by adopting conventional methods and establishing long-term mechanisms. This requires the facilitation of the reconnection between poverty alleviation strategies and the structural transformation of the dual economy in terms of development ideas and policy directions.

This study examines the contribution of CSR programs of multinational enterprises (MNEs) operating in Bangladesh in the poverty alleviation. The authors employed a mixed-method approach to collect qualitative data by interviewing executives of ten MNEs while for quantitative data annual reports, websites, and articles were consulted. Results depicted insignificant contribution of MNEs in poverty alleviation by their corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives. The average contribution of sample MNEs stand at only 0.52 per cent of profits after tax to CSR programs, ranging from 2.96% to 0.15%. The study reveals that most of the MNEs are not contributing as per their financial capacity and they lack a policy of donating a reasonable portion of profit to CSR along with poverty alleviation priority. The study suggests that government of Bangladesh must act sincerely and deliberately for active involvement of MNEs in CSR programs helpful for poverty alleviation by necessary policy framework and motivational supports with a view to accelerate the poverty alleviation movement for a happy, prosperous, and progressive Bangladesh.

Ecological poverty alleviation launched by the Chinese government is an innovative green development measure that combines targeted poverty alleviation with ecological protection to realize the ecological environmental protection and income growth of the impoverished population. Based on the Chinese government’s policy of poverty alleviation assessment for provincial government officials in 2016, this paper studies whether the assessment of government officials promote enterprises’ participation in ecological poverty alleviation. Using the sample of Chinese A-share listed companies from 2016 to 2020, the empirical test shows that the more important the assessment of poverty alleviation by officials, the more likely local enterprises are to participate in targeted poverty alleviation and the higher the investment level is likely to be. The results pass a series of robustness tests. In addition, this paper further finds that enterprise participation in ecological poverty alleviation can effectively reduce local water pollution, air pollution and solid pollution, thus improving the ecological environment. It suggests that the assessment mechanism of Chinese government officials can effectively promote multi-dimensional ecological poverty alleviation. The contributions of this paper are as follows. Firstly, it is helpful to expand the relevant literature on enterprise environmental protection from the perspective of ecological poverty alleviation. Secondly, it is helpful to expand the literature related to government–enterprise interaction from the perspective of the assessment of government officials. Finally, it is helpful to enrich and expand the relevant literatures on promotion incentives of government officials from the perspective of ecological poverty alleviation.

Objective: The focus in this study is on how to improve the disharmony between the financial poverty alleviation investment model and the economic development efficiency. Methods: In this paper, based on the efficiency measurement principle of DEA method, an input-output model for evaluating the performance of poverty alleviation funds in counties of Shandong Province is constructed. Then, the data published by the government of 30 poverty-stricken counties in Shandong Province are selected and usedto measure the performance of poverty alleviation funds by Frontier Analyst 4.0 software according to indicators, including comprehensive efficiency analysis (CCR model), pure technical efficiency analysis (BCC model) and scale efficiency analysis (SE model). Results: (1) The average comprehensive efficiency of the use of financial poverty alleviation funds in 30 poverty-stricken counties in Shandong Province is 0.7898, of which 16 values are lower than the average;(2) Among the 30 poverty-stricken counties, the pure technical efficiency of poverty alleviation funds in 15 counties is 1, and the average value of pure technical efficiency is 0.9670, while the pure technical efficiency of poverty alleviation funds in 10 counties is lower than the average level; (3) From the perspective of average scale efficiency, the average scale efficiency of the use of financial poverty alleviation funds in 30 poverty-stricken counties involved in the study is 0.8168, and the use of poverty alleviation funds in more than half of counties shows increasing returns on scale. Conclusion: In poverty-stricken counties, the overall efficiency of the use of financial poverty alleviation funds is not high, among which the pure technical performance of input and output of financial poverty alleviation funds is relatively low. Therefore, under the same investment, more detailed and differentiated capital investment projects should be built to improve the efficiency of resource investment. For some counties with declining returns to scale, poverty alleviation projects with different characteristics can be added to improve the overall efficiency of poverty alleviation funds in counties.

There is a voluminous literature on poverty alleviation efforts of Sri Lanka. The present engagement with discourse on evolving political discourse on poverty alleviation touches a different aspect, i.e. instrumental utility of policy in keeping and maintaining the status quo. The study is based on examination of the content of public policies depending on the major strand of thought associated in different eras since colonial presence in Sri Lanka. It helps to identify the continuities and discontinuities of policy discourse. The discussion on the evolution of public policy on poverty alleviation revealed that issues of the poor has occupied a priority in the political agenda of the government whenever a political movement is active in politicizing the poor. However, the very objective of such policies were not aimed at empowering the poor but keeping them subordinated. The study concludes that poverty remains unresolved due to poverty of politics.

Full textAbstract:
China’s targeted poverty-alleviation policy has eliminated absolute poverty and become the focus of world attention. However, a relative-poverty problem still exists in China, and the large urban–rural income gap is an important issue. Whether the implementation of the targeted poverty-alleviation policy has narrowed the urban–rural income gap, along with its specific effects, requires an accurate analysis, which is particularly critical in order for China to implement a rural-revitalization strategy and further eliminate relative poverty in the future. Given the problems and shortcomings of the existing studies, such as not passing the parallel trend test to overestimate the policy effect, in this study we refer to the previous results, and our analyses divide the 124 counties in Yunnan province into four categories: non-poverty counties and counties with grade-I, grade-II, and grade-III poverty. We selected the panel data of the urban–rural income ratio of each county along with eight influencing factors from 2011 to 2020 for difference-in-difference model (DID) analysis. In this study, we compare the four types of counties level-by-level, and we construct a full-sample spatial DID model. The estimated results, after excluding the impact of COVID-2019, are significant. In addition, we perform robustness and placebo tests and other work on the DID model. All of the results show that the implementation of the targeted poverty-alleviation policy has effectively reduced the urban–rural income ratio in areas experiencing poverty. Finally, we use the intermediary effect analysis method to explore the reasons for the findings: driven by the targeted poverty-alleviation policy, the financial investment in poor areas has substantially increased, further increasing the income level of rural residents in poor areas and thus promoting a notable reduction in the income gap between urban and rural residents in poor areas. We suggest that, although China has achieved comprehensive success in targeted poverty-alleviation, assistance investment still needs to be increased, policies must be adjusted, and income growth must be accelerated to achieve industrial prosperity.

AbstractThere is a large body of literature asserting that household asset holdings play a critical role in prospects of economic and social well-being. This study examines asset-poverty rates in China using the 2013 survey data from the Chinese Household Income Project (CHIP). The results indicate that asset-poverty rates in urban China were lower than those of developed countries, whereas rural and migrant households experienced more serious asset poverty than their counterparts in urban China. In addition, the asset-poverty rates were at least twice the income-poverty rates in China according to the different poverty lines used in the study. Several demographic characteristics were found associated with asset poverty. To assist the Chinese government in reaching its goal of eradicating absolute poverty by 2020 through targeted poverty alleviation, this study suggests including assets in the description and alleviation of poverty.

Taking Fenghuang County, China, as the study area, this study established an evaluation framework by using the Delphi method based on multidimensional poverty theory. Moreover, analytic hierarchy process (AHP) was employed to identify the weight of each indicator and assess poor residents’ perceptions of the impacts of tourism on poverty alleviation. The results indicate that tourism economic development has been a momentous contributor to alleviating multidimensional poverty in study locations to a certain extent (3.180). However, there is still room for improvement and promotion. With respect to various dimensions, the mean of economic level is the highest (1.125), whilst the means of education training (0.420) and health care (0.819) are relatively lower than the other dimensions.

Full textAbstract:
Although China is experiencing a transition from a relation-based society to a rule-based society, relationships among acquaintances still play an important role in resource allocation, such as the allocation of policy resources. This is particularly true in rural China, where targeted poverty alleviation is prevalent and a relation-based social structure still dominates. However, it is still unknown how relationships affect the livelihood strategy of households in rural China and how poverty alleviation policies plays a role between them. Therefore, this paper embeds poverty alleviation into the relation-based society and explores how households respond to the policy in this specific context. Using grounded theory research method and the sustainable livelihoods approach (SLA) framework, this paper contains in-depth interviews and field observations from three poverty-stricken villages in Northeast China. The results show that relationships have a significant impact on the households’ livelihood strategy. In other words, the households’ livelihood strategy is embedded in the relation-based society. The types of relationships induce households to choose maintained or developmental type livelihood strategies, while relationships influence how the poverty alleviation policies affect the livelihood strategy. This study is not only an extension of the SLA in the research context, but also provides a significant perspective for enriching the long-term mechanism of targeted poverty alleviation by building a theoretical model of the relationships between a relation-based society, targeted poverty alleviation and the livelihood strategies of households.

Full textAbstract:
Poverty in Malaysia and Nigeria as well as most developing countries are alarmingly visible. The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth in recent years of Malaysia and Nigeria has not reflected in the poverty alleviation efforts from the governments of both countries. The need to review the past policies on poverty alleviation in these developing nations prompted this paper. Using secondary data sources, the poverty alleviation policy in Malaysia has made significant progress, while Nigeria is still struggling. Interestingly, after decades of poverty alleviation policies, Malaysia has been moving forward steadily although there are identifiable challenges to overcome while in Nigeria, the policies seems to have no progress due to lack of political will.
