Today, the Ministry of Finance, the Development Research Center of the State Council and the World Bank jointly released the report "Forty Years of Poverty Reduction in China: Driving Forces, Reference Significance and Future Policy Directions", which comprehensively reviewed China's poverty reduction achievements.
The report "Forty Years of Poverty Reduction in China: Driving Forces, Reference Significance and Future Policy Directions" shows that in the past 40 years, according to the World Bank's global absolute poverty standard of US$1.9 per person per day, China's poor population has decreased by nearly 800 million, accounting for the same period of time. More than 75% of people in poverty have been reduced globally.
The report believes that China mainly relies on two pillars to solve the problem of absolute poverty: one is a broad-based economic transformation, which provides new development opportunities for the poor and continuously increases their income levels; , the government implements targeted poverty alleviation policies to eliminate chronic poverty.
The targeted poverty alleviation strategy implemented for the poor effectively solves the "last mile" problem and is of great significance to eliminating absolute poverty.
