原創 清華經管說 清華大學經濟管理學院 收錄於話題#清華經管說4個
國家主席習近平在二〇二一年新年賀詞中談到：2020年，全面建成小康社會取得偉大歷史性成就，決戰脫貧攻堅取得決定性勝利。我們向深度貧困堡壘發起總攻，啃下了最難啃的「硬骨頭」。歷經8年，現行標準下近1億農村貧困人口全部脫貧，832個貧困縣全部摘帽。
在過去的40年裡，中國成功地使7億多人擺脫了貧困。中國在全球扶貧貢獻率超過70%的同時，到2020年消除了絕對貧困，這意味著中國提前10年實現了聯合國的扶貧目標。可以說2020年是中國扶貧史上的裡程碑。
但是，消除絕對貧困並不是這場戰鬥的終點，只是另一個故事的開始。
清華經管學院金融系教授、蘇黎世保險集團講席教授Michael R.Powers接受人民日報英文客戶端專訪，以外國專家學者的視角解讀中國的扶貧工作。
Decoding China's poverty alleviation efforts
The year 2020 marks a milestone in China's history of poverty alleviation.
Once China was held back by extreme poverty: a vast territory with a complex geography, uneven regional development, a large poor population with both low income and consumption levels, and poor rural infrastructure and public services.
Over the past four decades, China has managed to lift more than 700 million people out of poverty. While having contributed more than 70 percent of global poverty alleviation, China wiped out extreme poverty by 2020, which means it has met the UN's poverty alleviation goal 10 years ahead of schedule.
But the eradication of extreme poverty is not the end of this battle.
The country still faces acute challenges caused by unbalanced and inadequate development, as well as onerous tasks of consolidating and expanding poverty alleviation achievements.
China will improve the monitoring and assistance mechanism to prevent people from falling back into poverty and continue to track the development of counties, villages and people that have been lifted out of poverty.
The end of 2020 is just the beginning of another story. How has China eliminated extreme poverty? And how does Michael R.Powers, Professor of Department of Finance Tsinghua SEM, evaluate China's poverty alleviation efforts? Click on the video to see the whole story.
