Features: This book is a research outcome of the 11th Five-Year Plan project. 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 compare various anti-poverty approaches. Following a new development paradigm, they systematically argue for the strategic choice of "education-based poverty alleviation" in China's western regions. They propose that through education, the comprehensive sustainable development of the socio-economic and cultural aspects of impoverished areas in the west can be achieved by human quality and development skills. The book puts forward actionable policy recommendations, providing positive reference value for national macro-decision-making.
