Chinese Model of Poverty Reduction and Disparity Adjustment

Abstract

　Poverty and disparity are two problems threatening social and political stability. So far, the Communist Party of China (CPC) has implemented the so-called "three-stage poverty alleviation policy," which are "food problem solving", "basic infrastructure development", and "poverty eradication". Currently, CPC uses targeted measures to tackle poverty. Why does CPC care so much about ending poverty in China？ This paper analyzes the political significance behind the campaign. Also, economic growth is the most powerful tool for poverty reduction, but there are limits in the areas where development conditions are not well established. CPC uses targeted measures to help those who live in the extreme poverty areas, lifting themselves out of poverty. Pairing support and relocating the poor are the most characteristic measures among the ending-poverty policies. In short, this paper views it as Chinese model of poverty reduction and disparity adjustment, analyzing the factors of the model and the policy effects.
