Does Rural Poverty Affect Urban Households'Social Donation?Empirical Evidence Based on CFPS
The households'social donation behavior is closely related to the socio-economic situation and institutional environment in their living areas.The paper uses 2010,2012,2014,2016,2018 five years of China Family Panel Studies(CFPS)data to analyze effects of rural poverty on social donation expenditure of urban households in the same province.The research results suggest that when the rural poverty rate is rising,social donation expenditure of urban households in the same province will show significant growing,especially urban households in the highest and lowest income brackets and urban households with high social trust,with strong sense of wealth gap,living in the areas with greater wealth gap,will choose higher level of social donation in the face of rural poverty.The urban households responding to rural poverty by means of increasing social donation expenditure result from not only their autonomous choice,but also donation promotion effect within the system,which is more significant for middle-income households with household heads employed in work units within the system.The existing social donation system in China both respects and supports donation will of residential households,and also leverages the institutional advantages of China,which promotes coordination and cooperation between the third distribution represented by social donation and redistribution in the anti-poverty field,and makes the third distribution and national development goals keep consistency.
