What are the main aspects of rural poverty in China?

1. Poor areas have poor natural conditions, weak agricultural foundation and low ability to resist natural disasters.

Poor areas have slow economic development and are in areas with poor natural conditions. Due to the lack of funds for infrastructure construction, they suffered huge losses when natural disasters occurred. In the face of natural and man-made disasters, poor households who have solved the problem of food and clothing will return to poverty.

2. The population is growing too fast, and the basic social services such as education and health are too low.

The population growth rate is fast, which shows that with the deepening of enterprise reform, the number of poor households in rural areas increases rapidly and the number of poor people in cities increases. According to the "Sipu" data, the birth rate in rural poverty-stricken areas is mostly higher than the national average, and the birth rate and natural growth rate of poor households in rural non-poverty areas are also generally higher than the national average. The other two characteristics are the emergence of elderly poor people.

3. The poor population structure is unreasonable, and the distribution is concentrated and sporadic.

The distribution of rural poor people has two remarkable characteristics: first, centralization. The vast majority of rural poor people in China are concentrated in national and provincial poverty-stricken counties determined by the state and provincial and autonomous regional governments respectively. Second, it is sporadic, and the rural poor people outside the poverty-stricken counties are scattered in the vast rural areas.

4. The traditional and backward concept of bearing leads to the contradiction between bearing behavior and family planning policy.

Due to the comprehensive influence of various subjective and objective factors, rural areas have gradually formed a unique concept of fertility for a long time, which is related to the natural economy. The increase in the number of super-births leads to blind actual fertility behavior. All these are in contradiction with the basic national policy of family planning, which can not alleviate the great pressure of population, land, resources and ecological environment and can not embark on the road of sustainable development.

5. The level of fiscal revenue is low, and public investment and basic investment are seriously insufficient.

Poor agricultural production conditions. 1993, the per capita total power of agricultural machinery in poverty-stricken counties designated by the state was only 50% of the national average; Only 36% of the cultivated land is cultivated by machines, and the effective irrigation area is 3 1%, which is lower than the national average 18 and 20% respectively.

Farmers in some poverty-stricken areas still use bamboo poles, wooden plows and simple iron farm tools for labor and farming, planting widely and harvesting less. Some places even follow the ancient mode of production of "slash and burn".
