Tar­geted Ap­proach to Poverty Al­le­vi­a­tion

China Eco­nomic Weekly De­cem­ber 3

Dur­ing the past 40 years, China has helped over 700 mil­lion peo­ple out of poverty, which ac­counts for 70 per­cent of all peo­ple lifted out of poverty world­wide. By the end of 2015, Chi­nese Pres­i­dent Xi Jin­ping put for­ward to elim­i­nate poverty in China by 2020 - 10 years ahead of the tar­get of end­ing poverty in all its forms by 2030 set by the United Na­tions. The suc­cess of Chi­nese poverty al­le­vi­a­tion serves as a valu­able ex­pe­ri­ence for the whole world.

Be­sides per­son­al­ized an­tipoverty plans for each per­son, the na­tion’s tar­geted poverty al­le­vi­a­tion ef­forts also in­clude var­i­ous ar­range­ments to cre­ate work op­por­tu­ni­ties and give peo­ple job train­ing, so that the anti-poverty mode can re­main sus­tain­able.
