China's poverty line background

China's alleviate poverty line background

The first part of China's rapid economic development has attracted worldwide attention

China's sustained rapid economic development of a 1 / 4 century, from the chief architect of our reform and opening up to allow part of Comrade Deng Xiaoping put forward the idea of people get rich first, we have chosen to develop the socialist market economy, as a result of a series of correct choice To promote China's economic vitality and creativity of the glow, and the rule of law and economic order in this process, and gradually establish, as the above reasons, so that China's national economy continued to grow rapidly, the people's rising income levels. This economic growth has driven the transformation of the economic structure, restructuring the main problems: nearly 40 percent of about 300 million workforce from agricultural labor to non-agricultural labor employment income patterns of conversion; more than 20% over 300 million population to achieve a way of life from Rural-urban shift, which can lead to overall social development and transformation.

China's spectacular economic development, China has become the world topic. Now both in the Americas or Europe, many of the world's major activities and on stage, China will become an essential topic, the eye-catching. But we should sober to see that China's economic growth in the income gap between the issue of the same attention, on the one hand, the disposable income of residents of the rapid expansion of the Gini coefficient, in 1984 the Gini coefficient for 0.26,1995, 0.38, 0.42,2004 in 2000 as the Gini coefficient reached 0.46. With the country's Gini coefficient is proportional to the disparity between the rich and the poor, when the Gini coefficient is lower than the average 0.2 to 0.3 for ,0.2-average relative ,0.3-0.4 that relatively reasonable ,0.4-0.5 that larger gap between rich and poor, said the poor more than 0.6 The gap between the rich extremely poor. 0.4 for the internationally recognized warning line. At present, China's Gini coefficient has surpassed the warning line.

On the other hand, the income gap between urban and rural areas in China's increasingly widening, 20 percent of the total population of low-income or poverty-stricken people accounted for only income and consumption share of 4.7 percent of the total population 20 per cent of the urban population accounted for well-off income and consumption Share of 50 percent, over the issue led to extravagant consumption of the rich and the poor plight of survival both at the same time, cite an extreme case, when the Zhou Zhengyi living in 130 million mansion in the time of arrest, the newspaper also has another story, laid-off divorced 6-year-old girl's mother Liu Fang and no more than 10 yuan due to pay the money to install the reunification of water meter fees and suicide. This is a special case, but transmission in our community and expand the rich and the poor have a range of issues, many international and domestic experts, scholars and all sectors of society on income distribution gap, and other related issues are also engaged in intense discussions . We can through the Internet and other means that the gap between the rich and lively discussion of the extent, to give full expression to China's economic growth in the income gap between the issue of the same attention.

The second part of the income distribution gap between the big issues of social harmony

Income gap too large to bring about a social problem affecting the effective demand is generated, constrain development. 2004 in the third quarter, the wage income of urban residents rose 11.8 percent, while per capita income in rental property revenues increased 54.5 percent. This shows that the property or capital gains gradually taking shape. 2004 revenue of up to 10% of the total family property for urban residents and property of nearly 50 percent. Low-income accounted for only 20% of the market share of 4.7 percent, the high-income accounted for 20 percent of 50 percent, high-income sectors of the faster growth of income, can not form an effective demand-driven growth. Economic development to be built on mass consumption growth on the basis of models such as India to prevent diseases such as Latin America and discord, sustained economic development.

Income gap too large the second is social problems arising from social and psychological conflicts, misunderstandings and discord. On the one hand, the income gap too big performance caused by consumption of conflict and social and psychological conflicts on the other hand, the illegal income and the income of corruption cases against the rich and publicity caused by the revenue seems to have come from illegal and corrupt misunderstanding and exaggerated Secondly, the lack of normal channels and some public charity rich extravagance and dissipation of Choufu psychological trigger. According to the 2004 kidnapping case on file for 3863, the kidnapping is primarily aimed at entrepreneurs, celebrities and the wealthy families of primary school students, demanded a ransom from several million to tens of million, the largest of several million dollars. This shows that China's current social and psychological violent conflict, and harmony of the poor. If large-scale low-income population of long-term stagnation or even decline, easily induced by social unrest and turmoil.

The third part, in the face of the income distribution gap between too much of the social problems

Government, through the rational control of the income gap and promoting steady economic growth, and other effective measures to improve the three major measures: First, a progressive tax regulation promulgated policies, research, follow-up, and gradually reasonable "cut high" and the other is the intensity of poverty , The establishment of the social security system, the agricultural tax exemptions, subsidized education, health security system reform and rural health support the start-up, and gradually reasonable "carrying the end of" The third is to eliminate monopolies, the fight against corruption, administrative transparency, democratic participation and so on. Enhance the fairness of market competition and transparency so that the growth of wealth more equitable competition rationalization.

It is in upholding the market economy, refining criteria for the trip, strengthen judicial independence and impartiality under the premise of regulation, the Chinese government is gradually "cut Gaotai at the end of a reasonable gap."

Part IV, in the face of the income distribution gap between too much of the social problems

NGO civil organizations should "hasten the birth of civil society and promote social harmony" for the mission to make its own efforts. First, the research needs of vulnerable groups, attracted public concern and second, foster civic responsibility, correction, "Fu inhumane" U.S. social welfare contributions for charitable funds accounted for 9 per cent of GDP, while China is less than 0.1 percent, with China now Economic status and income level is not commensurate with the third and concentrate on their own management and capacity-building, social structures and the crowd getting rich first among the vulnerable groups to help bridge to ease the social psychology of conflict; fourth, reflecting the voices of vulnerable groups, strengthening of public affairs Social accountability; Fifth, enhancing social interaction and dissemination of care and concern, and promote social harmony.
