Features: This book is based on the actual conditions of China, starting from the basic living realities of impoverished populations, it argues for the necessity and rationality of raising China's absolute poverty standard. It categorizes impoverished populations into three levels and proposes constructive suggestions for direct aid to severely impoverished and sub-severely impoverished populations. Building on extensive calculations and organization of relevant indicator data from national impoverished counties and particularly impoverished counties, it conducts in-depth discussions and scientific analyses of different types of poverty in various regions and the challenges in implementing poverty alleviation policies, proposing that poverty alleviation should be integrated with the overall goals of building new rural areas and a moderately prosperous society. It also puts forward specific policy recommendations, such as prioritizing the development of bioenergy industries in impoverished areas, increasing infrastructure investment in these regions, combining relocation with tourism and town development, and establishing poverty alleviation research funds.
