The book discusses and compensates for the shortcomings of poverty measurement research in China. The rural population in China faces challenges in five key aspects: sanitation facilities, medical insurance, durable consumer goods, productive assets, and modern fuels. This book provides a clear direction for policy intervention to comprehensively improve the living standards of farmers and address crucial issues related to regional poverty alleviation and development. In addition, the book's analysis of poverty among ethnic minorities, elderly people, and children provides valuable reference materials for poverty alleviation and the development of these special groups.
