The PRC defines poverty as an individual surviving on less than US $.66 cents a day.
The PRC defines poverty as an individual surviving on less than US $.66
cents a day. The National Bank along with the United Nations defines
absolute poverty on an individual surviving on US $1.00 a day. The
difference between the between the two beliefs mean that there are many
more Chinese living in poverty then the government in China
acknowledges. The PRC has come up with multiple plans and acts to help
the poor in the country. Two of the major plans were to reform the
economy and open the country. The goal of these plans was to give
China’s rural farmers freedom and incentives to improve their lives.
In 1978, China introduced the Household Responsibility System which
ended centralized agricultural planning and gave these areas back to
individuals. China decided to eliminate collective agricultural
practices to give individuals a chance to make income off their own
crops and also to feed their own families from these crops. The
Southwest Poverty Deduction Project provided basic infrastructure such
as roads and electricity to link these people with the outside world.
Water management systems were put in place to make poorer individuals
lives easier so they no longer needed to fetch water daily. Improved
seed and animal stocks have increased income. This has led to better
health care and education. The increase in roads has made it easier for
people to get their crops to markets to make money. All of these
programs aimed to give people the means to improve their lives. There
are many ongoing challenges for addressing poverty and hunger in China.
China is a large country. The government cannot necessary control it
all, there is difficulty in coordinating between different departments
of the government, and the best ways to handle the interest of various
groups. The recent generation of growth in the country has helped
increase the differences between the rich and power. Entrepreneurship
has increased in many parts of the country. This entrepreneurship has
created more job opportunities. It has helped increase labor mobility
where large groups are taking jobs in cities further away and sending
the money home to poorer areas in the country. These entrepreneurs or
“dragon heads” have given many people inspiration that they too, may
greatly improve their lives. The raise of these entrepreneurs have also
helped increase the differences between the rich and poor. They are
contributing to the distribution inequality in income and social
inequality. This helps lead to the social instability in China.
