COMPARATIVE STUDY OF MULTIDIMENSIONAL RELATIVE POVERTY DIFFERENCES IN AGRICULTURAL AND PASTORAL AREAS UNDER THE GOAL OF COMMON PROSPERITY——BASED ON THE MULTIDIMENSIONAL RELATIVE POVERTY MEASUREMENT OF SURVEY DATA FROM 810 HOUSEHOLDS
This research aims to study the poverty problem in border minority region,measure multidimensional relative poverty measurement,and accurately identify the causes of poverty and the risk of returning to poverty in different regions,thereby laying the foundation for reducing regional disparities and achieving common prosperity. Taking the grassland pastoral areas of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region as a case study,this research employed the stratified sampling survey to gather firsthand data,and utilized the A-F double boundary method to identify and measure the multidimensional relative poverty in each region. The results were showed as follows. (1) There was basically no poverty in the income dimension in Inner Mongolia,and the multidimensional poverty index in the living dimension was also relatively low. (2) In the central and western regions of Inner Mongolia,environmental factors were the primary deprivation,followed by educational factors,and health factors ranked the third. (4) In Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region,the overall agricultural and pastoral households basically met their living needs,but the sustainable growth of income was still worthy of attention,and there were significant regional differences in relative poverty among farmers and herdsmen in the eastern,central,and western regions,and the eastern region had a greater impact on the relative poverty of pastoral areas in Inner Mongolia. Therefore,the eastern region in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region should prioritize efforts in promoting education and training,the central region should broaden the scope of disease reimbursement,and the western region should consider judiciously lifting certain restrictions on medical insurance. Governments at all levels and relevant departments in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region should enhance the dissemination of health knowledge and intensify social security oversight. Enhancing environmental governance,elevating educational standards,and establishing ecological agriculture and animal husbandry are crucial measures to foster regional coordinated development and attain common prosperity in Inner Mongolia.
