How many people are poor depends on the standard.
From 1986, China began to carry out large-scale rural poverty alleviation and development. Behind the seemingly "ups and downs" of poverty figures is the continuous improvement of poverty alleviation standards. From the poverty alleviation standard of solving basic food and clothing to the "two worries and three guarantees" at this stage, high-standard poverty alleviation is the real poverty alleviation.
The current rural poverty standard (namely "20 10 standard") was put forward in 20 1 10. According to the standard of 20 10, the annual per capita net income of farmers is 2300 yuan, and the price in 20 15 years is 2800 yuan and 2800 yuan respectively.
Development is the absolute need/Development is of overriding importance.
Poverty and getting rid of poverty are the starting point and power source of China's reform and development path choice. The process of economic development in China is basically synchronized with the process of poverty reduction, and economic development constitutes an important source of poverty reduction.
Compared with other developing countries in the world, China has maintained a higher and more sustained growth rate for more than 30 years since 1978. According to relevant statistics, from 1900 to 20 12, the number of people in China who reduced poverty by increasing unit national income was more than three times that of other developing countries.
It takes ten years for trees to grow tall and a hundred years for talents to mature ―― it takes a long time to cultivate people.
As the saying goes, "It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish", and the key to poverty alleviation lies in education. Since 1995, the "compulsory education project in poverty-stricken areas" has been implemented in poverty-stricken areas in the central and western regions, which has significantly improved the conditions for running compulsory education in poverty-stricken areas. By 20 10, the enrollment rate of school-age children in key poverty-stricken counties in China is close to the national rural average.
The guarantee of education also promotes employment. From 1978 to 20 16, the number of non-agricultural employees in China increased by 425.88 million, an increase of 3.6 times. In the same period, the proportion of non-agricultural employed population in the total employed population in China rose from 29% to 70%. The transfer of agricultural labor force has played a very important role in reducing the rural poor.
Migrant workers have made great contributions to the development of cities, and the expansion of the scale of migrant workers in poverty-stricken areas has also greatly released basic energy. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Go home and see what's new in your hometown!
A sense of security for the elderly and medical care for the sick.
Developing rural medical and health services and improving the health level of rural population, including the poor, is an important aspect of developing social undertakings and reducing poverty in China. Since 2003, the new rural cooperative medical system has been established in rural areas. In 20 12 years, China has achieved full coverage of the new rural cooperative medical system, and the per capita reimbursement benefit of cooperative medical system is 2. 17 times.
In addition to the new rural cooperative medical system, since 2007, China has successively established a rural minimum living security system, a new rural old-age insurance system and a social assistance system, improved the rural five-guarantee system and initially formed a rural social security network.
Innovative thinking, accurate poverty alleviation
In the process of rural poverty alleviation in the past 30 years, according to the poverty alleviation situation, poverty characteristics and national development strategy, China has continuously improved and adjusted the poverty alleviation strategy, governance structure and fund management through experiments and innovations, and continuously improved the effectiveness of poverty alleviation and the utilization efficiency of poverty alleviation resources.
Starting from 20 14, poverty alleviation and development in rural areas turned to precision poverty alleviation and precision poverty alleviation. At present, China is promoting the implementation of ten precision poverty alleviation projects, tackling difficulties and moving towards building a well-off society in an all-round way.
