What is the poverty standard in China?

the definition of poor households by the state has its strict criteria: absolute poverty population, relative poverty population and low-income population; So what is the latest poverty line standard in China? It is understood that absolute poverty will be eliminated in 22.

The poverty line was about 3, yuan in p>216 and 2,8 yuan in 215. The current poverty line in China is based on the constant price of 23 yuan in 211, and this benchmark may be adjusted irregularly. The poverty line standard determined in 211, the rural poverty standard (per capita net income) is 2,3 yuan, which is 8% higher than the poverty standard of 1,274 yuan in 21. According to the improved poverty standard in 211 (the per capita net income of rural households is 2,3 yuan/year), there are still 82 million poor people in China, accounting for 13% of the total rural population and nearly one tenth of the total national population. After this sharp increase, the distance between China's national poverty alleviation standard line and the World Bank's nominal international poverty line standard line is the closest in history. International poverty line standard (the international standard of extreme poverty) is $1.9 per person per day.

According to the report, a press conference was held at the first session of the 13th National People's Congress. Liu Yongfu, director of the State Council Poverty Alleviation Office, said that in the next three years, key support will be given to deep poverty-stricken areas. Absolute poverty will be eliminated in China in 22, but relative poverty will exist for a long time. We should explore experience by winning the tough battle and establish a better system and mechanism.

With regard to poverty alleviation after 22, Liu Yongfu said that we should continue to do a good job in reducing relative poverty. "Not that there will be no poverty in China by 22, but that absolute poverty will be eliminated in China by 22, and relative poverty will exist for a long time. We must win the tough battle, explore experience for reducing relative poverty in the future, and establish a better institutional mechanism, which is sustainable. "
