Poverty-stricken population of "soft targets" can not be ignored
"Poverty" is not only an economic problem, the more important political issues and social problems. During his inspection tour of poverty, therefore, some experts often use monetary and non-monetary indicators to reflect the two categories.
On monetary indicators, the reform and opening up the past 25 years, China's rural population living in absolute poverty reduced from 2.5 billion people, 26.1 million people, the incidence of poverty from 30% to 2.8%.
Sociological Research Association of China, said Lu Xueyi, in spite of our monetary indicators astonishing success, but frankly, on a soft non-monetary indicators, such as basic education, child and maternal health level, drinking water and sanitation acquisition, environmental protection, China's poverty-stricken areas and poverty still a wide gap between groups.
White-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Jin-fu experts believe that as a result of policy adjustments have not kept pace with or in place, the economic gap between the "hardening" as a pattern, and the formation of a clear social disparities. Some areas, enterprises and groups in a weak position clear, the fruits of economic development can not be to the benefit of all aspects of society, even gap phenomenon. By measuring the gap between rich and poor, "Gini coefficient", the Gini coefficient in China is already more than 0.45, reaching the income distribution gap between the "tolerable upper limit."
It is estimated that the population will be urban and rural poverty, economic restructuring, unemployment and laid-off workers, the disabled, disaster clients, such as migrant workers in a weak position of the total Canadian population, and then deduct some overlap, China is now vulnerable people about 140000000-180000000 people.
From a global perspective, there are 2.8 billion people in developing countries (more than half of its population) live in poverty. According to the current development trends, by 2015 most developing countries can not be realized in education, health, environment and other areas, most of "the Millennium Development Goals."
Bai Jin-fu said that China's "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" proposed by the scientific development concept to guide overall economic and social development, it is necessary to correctly handle the relationship between fairness and efficiency. Initial distribution focus on efficiency, the redistribution of attention to equity; in the economic life of the efficiency of the first place, and in political life and social life, the fair the first place. Thereby creating not only conducive to the development of advanced productive forces, and conducive to the common prosperity of the distribution system.
