Chapter Chapter 3 in Rural Poverty, Growth, and Inequality in China, 2022, pp 55-82 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The issue of poverty has traditionally been of interest to development economists. Scholars usually tend to classify poverty as absolute poverty and relative poverty. At present, China is still moving from a low-income country to the ranks of middle-income countries. In the past development process, rural poverty has been characterized by the coexistence of absolute and relative poverty. This chapter will study the phenomenon of absolute and relative poverty in China.
