Abstract

This chapter discusses the changes in China's rural poverty index since the reform and opening up, especially the impact of income growth and distribution on rural poverty. Although relevant researches have been done, few focus on the reasons why different FGT indexes under different poverty lines can be decomposed to reach different conclusions. Also, the FGT index only presents a one-sided picture of the poverty situation, while a country's overall poverty is complex and varies with one or several main one-dimensional poverty factors in different periods.
