Abstract: Based on the micro-data of 934 relocated farmers from large resettlement communities in three provinces of China, this paper constructs a 'vulnerability to multidimensional relative poverty' index and empirically tests the impact of basic public services on this measure. Results show that the supply of basic public services substantially reduces vulnerability to poverty, with this reduction achieved by optimizing livelihood strategies.
