| Summary: | Poverty–stricken populations must be identified precisely in the fight against
poverty to implement the strategy of building a moderately prosperous
society in all respects by 2020. The analysis based on the household survey
in 2013 shows that the targeting accuracy is not high based on the standard of
income and the accuracy is higher based on the standard of multidimensional
poverty index. But the latter still has a low coverage rate. To gradually achieve
integration of the rural poverty line and the rural subsistence allowance line,
standards applied to identifying households entitled to subsistence allowances
should be changed from the standard of income to multidimensional poverty
indexes. A unified standard of subsistence allowances and a unified method for
identifying related households should be developed. At the same time, coverage
and funding of subsistence allowances should be extended and increased to
better meet people’s basic needs.
