 What is poverty 什么是貧困問題

     In the economic development of the present world, poverty remains a grave problem which disturbs social development. A large poor population can be found in not only the developing countries and regions where it will increase but also in the economically developed European and American countries. Anti-poverty is a significant strategic decision for various countries to enhance their economic development. China, a developing country, is confronted with poverty inevitably in the course of its economic development, especially during the period of system transition. Moreover, during a particular phase, dual-poverty, the co-existence of the poor population in both the rural areas and urban areas, will arise. One underlying cause of this phenomenon is that a large unemployment population emerges as a result of the transition of the running mechanism in the state-owned enterprises. In view of all these, the problem of poverty is also a serious problem that confronts the building a well off society .The study of poverty will be national significance and also world-wide significance.
     Poverty refers to a living state under which the normal material and spiritual needs of an individual or a family can't be met as a result of both institutional factors and non-institutional factors. There is no doubt that developing and developed countries are all disturbed by poverty. However, the problems remain different in its nature and type. Poverty in developed countries is mainly a relative one. Those factors leading to poverty are mainly individual. The target of anti-poverty campaign is mainly against poor population. While in developing countries, poverty is mainly featured by absolute poverty. The factors can be found in their geography, history, society, politics and the negative aspects of their cultures. But as far as its nature is concerned, the low level productivity and unfair distribution of income are the main causes. The target of antipoverty campaign aims mainly at poor areas.
     Poverty in China is an economic concept, which carries heavy political connotation. The subject of poverty is poor population while the object is poor areas. As for its characteristics, it is regional, ethic, stratum and institutional from a macroscopic view; from a meso-scopic view, it is featured by the adverse ecological environment, the frail infrastructure, the low-level and unitary economic structure, the lowlevel cultural life and the natural, semi-natured and planned economy; from a microscopic view, it's featured by possessing capital, especially human capital's insufficiency and inability. A correct definition of the types of poverty is the key point to improve the efficiency of antipoverty campaign in China. Poverty in China can be classified into institutional poverty and non- institutional poverty.
     貧困(poverty)是一個十分復雜的問題,按照經(jīng)濟學的一般理論,貧困是經(jīng)濟、社會、文化貧困落后現(xiàn)象的總稱。但首先是指經(jīng)濟范疇(economic scope)的貧困,即物質(zhì)生活貧困(material poverty),可定義為一個人或一個家庭的生活水平達不到一種社會可以接受的最低標準。貧困的存在有著歷史與現(xiàn)實的雙重原因,因而,貧困又是一個歷史性的范疇(historical scope)。根據(jù)不同的劃分標準,貧困可以分為不同的類型。如絕對貧困(absolute poverty)和相對貧困(comparative poverty),生存型貧困(survival poverty)、溫飽型貧困(subsistence poverty)和發(fā)展型貧困(development poverty),區(qū)域型貧困(regional poverty)和個體型貧困(individual poverty),城市貧困(urban poverty)和農(nóng)村貧困(rural poverty),狹義貧困(narrow poverty)和廣義貧困(broad poverty)等等。
