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, the book conducts in-depth discussions and scientific analyses of poverty in different regions and types, as well as issues in poverty alleviation policy implementation, proposing that poverty alleviation should be integrated with the overall goals of building new rural areas and a moderately prosperous society.
