Operating Mechanisms of the Anti-poverty Policy and the Role of Local Government

Chinese government increased the efforts on rural poverty areas. Especially in recent years,the government have aided the poor by means of the whole region development instead of relief payments.That may help poor people improve their abilities to get rich. The poverty alleviation through the agricultural industrialization assumed that the regional development inevitably would bring the improvement of poor people's income and living standard. However,this study recognized that the regional agricultural industrialization development and the economic growth may not inevitably automatically reduce the poverty under the operating mechanisms of the current anti-poverty policy(government-dominated,relying on the super producer or company,relying on the participation and the cooperation of the poor population). There is a divergence between the central government's policy aim and the motive of the local government. And the idea of "development" and the idea of "anti-poverty".As a result,the policy of the poverty alleviation through the agricultural industrialization was distorted in the operation and did not facilitate the poor people and improve their abilities,and even harm the social solidarity.
