Measurement and Evaluation of Livelihood Resilience of Poverty-stricken Population in Western Ethnic Areas
Based on the reality of the livelihood development of the poverty-stricken population in the western ethnic areas,an evaluation system for the livelihood resilience of the poverty-stricken population in the western ethnic areas is constructed with three major factors:livelihood capital resilience,livelihood environment resilience,and livelihood strategy resilience.BP neural network and factor analysis are com-bined,we comprehensively measured and compared the livelihood resilience level of 1786 stable poverty alleviation households and 171 monitored poverty alleviation households in 17 counties(cities)of Liangs-han Prefecture.The results show that:the overall resilience of the poverty-stricken population in the sam-ple areas is moderate,but there are differences in the resilience of different types of poverty-stricken pop-ulation between and within regions;Livelihood capital resilience is the most important factor affecting the overall livelihood resilience of the poverty-stricken population in the sample regions,and low capital re-silience is the main vulnerability risk faced by both types of poverty-stricken population.Compared with the stable poverty alleviation population,the physical capital resilience of the monitored poverty allevia-tion population is poor,but the natural capital resilience is stronger.Compared with the monitored pover-ty-alleviation population,the livelihood resilience of the stable poverty-alleviation population in the sam-ple region of the market environment is lower,but the resilience of the policy environment is higher.The livelihood strategy resilience of the stable poverty-stricken population in the sample region is generally higher than that of the monitored poverty-stricken population.The former has higher production and man-agement resilience,while the latter has higher migration and development resilience.
