What are the provincial poverty-stricken areas in China?

The poverty-stricken areas in China are mainly concentrated in the central region, the western mountainous region, the southwest region and the northeast region. Including some mountainous areas in Gansu, Yunnan and Guizhou.

Its characteristics are: harsh natural environment; Lack of resources and weak infrastructure; The population growth is too fast, and the basic social services such as education and health are too low; The level of fiscal revenue is low, and public investment and basic investment are seriously insufficient.

Extended data There are 585 poverty-stricken counties (including county-level administrative units, banners and county-level cities). In order to support poverty-stricken areas, the state has established national standards for poverty-stricken counties. The qualification has been recognized by the Office of the Leading Group for Poverty Alleviation and Development of the State Council, and has been examined and approved for three times. Ethnic minority autonomous areas have different evaluation criteria, and they are called national key poverty alleviation counties in ethnic minority autonomous areas.

State-level poverty-stricken counties are distributed in 17 provincial administrative regions in China, with the largest number in Xizang Autonomous Region, followed by Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Shaanxi, Hubei, Henan, Hebei, Gansu, Shanxi, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.

Poverty-stricken areas in China are facing five outstanding problems.

One is road traffic. After years of development, the main transportation network in China has been basically sound, but there are still many debts in rural areas that facilitate the production and life of the people in poverty-stricken areas.

The second is to produce electricity. At present, domestic electricity consumption is basically solved, but there are still 20% administrative villages in western poverty-stricken areas that lack the three-phase electricity needed for processing and production, which restricts the development of local industries.

The third is rural housing. At present, the state subsidizes the renovation of dilapidated houses in rural areas, but farmers themselves still have to pay a lot of money. The poorer people are, the less they can enjoy subsidies and the less they can afford to buy a house. Housing insecurity is a relatively common problem.

The fourth is education. Children in the mountains climb mountains every day when they go to school, and some parents have to move near the school to accompany them. There are also children from poor families who can't find jobs after graduating from college, and there is a phenomenon of poverty caused by learning.

The fifth is medical care. Poor areas lack medical resources, suffering from minor illnesses and delaying serious illnesses, and finally the whole labor force becomes semi-labor, and semi-labor force becomes no labor force. One person is seriously ill and the whole family is poor.
