The Livelihood Resilience of Rural Households in Old Revolutionary Base Areas from the Perspective of Risk Shocks:An Example of the Taihang Old Revolutionary Base Area
Improving the livelihood resilience of rural households in old revolutionary base areas is conducive to consolidating and expanding the achievements of poverty alleviation and promoting the revitalization and development of old revolutionary base areas.Based on the field survey data of Taihang Old Revolutionary Base Area in 2022,this paper constructs a theoretical analysis framework of"Risk shock-Livelihood resilience-Strategy to improvement livelihood resilience"to measure the livelihood resilience of farmers from three dimensions of buffering ability,self-organization ability,and learning ability from the perspectives of health,market,and natural risk shocks.The paper uses a structural equation model to analyze the impact path of risk shocks on the resilience of rural households'livelihoods,and to explore potential strategies to enhance the resilience of rural households'livelihoods.The results are as follows.(1)Health risk shocks pose the greatest impact on the resilience of rural households'livelihoods,and buffering ability endures the most negative impact,followed by learning ability and self-organization ability.(2)Market risk shocks have a significant and negative impact on the resilience of rural households by affecting buffering ability,self-organization ability,and learning ability,and the magnitudes of the three impacts are similar.(3)Natural risk shocks have a significant and positive impact on the livelihood resilience of rural households.The households are likely to form expectations of natural risk shocks in the long-term agricultural production practices,and are able to choose plant crop varieties and farming techniques that are more suitable for the local climate,so as to enhance their adaptability and coping ability and thus improve their own livelihood resilience.In addition,the heterogeneity analysis of the livelihood resilience of different rural household groups shows that further attention should be paid to the livelihood resilience of poverty-stricken households and households in poverty-stricken villages in the stage of consolidating and expanding the achievements of poverty alleviation and comprehensively promoting rural revitalization.
