Abstract: The main topic of this paper is to briefly introduce the history of poverty alleviation programmes in China and focus on investigating targeted industrial poverty alleviation programme in Yulin Township (Mingshui County) as well as assessing the effectiveness of its methods. The data in this paper comes primarily from the poverty alleviation office in Yulin Township and contains both individual-level and aggregated variables. The aim of this paper is to present a detailed description of the targeted industrial poverty alleviation programme and explain how it differs from other similar programmes. The main findings are: first, the programme is successful in reducing poverty and increasing incomes; second, among the individual measures that comprise the programme, reward for working and transportation subsidy seems to achieve the highest success in increasing incomes for a large number of households; third, the other measures may be better-suited for various segments of the population.
