Evolution of Poverty Reduction Policies in China 1947-2020

Abstract

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China (PRC) in 1949, a series of economic changes have taken place, and anti-poverty has achieved remarkable results, during which poverty alleviation policies have been evolving in line with the state of economic development at different times. This study focuses on China's poverty alleviation policies from 1947 to 2020. This article adopts a combination of historical analysis and literature reading to systematically sort out policy documents and government reports from different historical periods. It also refers to journals and books on anti-poverty policies, with the aim of providing reference and information for the formulation of future anti-poverty policies. The study finds that China's poverty alleviation policies have achieved remarkable results at different historical stages. However, the policy implementation process also faces challenges such as unbalanced regional development and lack of flexibility in policy implementation.
