Features: This book is a research outcome of the 11th Five-Year Plan project of China. Based on in-depth field investigations among rural households and adhering to the philosophy of "people-centered development," the authors evaluate China's poverty alleviation policies during the 10th Five-Year Plan period and conduct comparative analyses of various anti-poverty approaches. Following the new development paradigm, they systematically argue for the strategic choice of "education-based poverty alleviation" in China's western regions. They propose that by comprehensively enhancing the quality and development skills of individuals through education, sustainable socio-economic and cultural development can be achieved in impoverished areas of the western region. The book also puts forward actionable policy recommendations, offering valuable references for national macro-decision-making.
