What aspects should we focus on to ensure people's livelihood and get rid of poverty in the old revolutionary areas?

The eight major poverty alleviation measures are: characteristic industries, labor export, relocation and resettlement, ecological protection, education, medical insurance and medical assistance, rural minimum living security system, and asset income.

Poverty alleviation by characteristic industries means supporting the construction of a number of characteristic agricultural bases with high participation of poor people, strengthening the interest linkage mechanism between them and poor households, accelerating the integration and development of primary, secondary and tertiary industries, and allowing poor households to share more value-added benefits of the entire agricultural industrial chain and value chain.

Export of labor services to get rid of poverty means encouraging vocational colleges and technical schools to recruit children from poor families, ensuring that the labor force of poor families has at least one skill to get rich, guiding and supporting employers to establish labor training bases in poor areas, carrying out order-based training, and expanding the employment space of labor force in poor areas.

Relocation to get rid of poverty is to adhere to the principle of voluntary, active and steady participation of the masses, support places where conditions permit to resettle the relocated people by relying on small towns and industrial parks, provide subsidized housing and start production and operation for eligible relocated households, support the development of the property economy in the relocated areas, and ensure that the relocated people have jobs and get rid of poverty steadily.

Ecological protection to get rid of poverty is to strengthen ecological protection and restoration in poverty-stricken areas, increase transfer payments to key ecological functional areas, use funds for ecological compensation and ecological protection projects, turn some local poor people with working ability into ecological protection personnel such as forest guards, carry out pilot projects for comprehensive ecological compensation in poverty-stricken areas, and improve the dynamic adjustment mechanism of compensation standards for public welfare forests.

Education to get rid of poverty is to popularize high school education, take the lead in exempting students with financial difficulties from ordinary high schools and secondary vocational education, and let junior high school graduates who have not been promoted to ordinary high schools receive secondary vocational education. Establish a long-term mechanism to ensure that students from rural and poverty-stricken areas attend key colleges and universities, and increase assistance to college students from poor families.

Medical insurance and medical assistance to get rid of poverty means that the individual contributions of poor people participating in the new rural cooperative medical system are partially subsidized by the financial sector. The new rural cooperative medical system and serious illness insurance system give preferential policies to the poor, and outpatient co-ordination takes the lead in covering all poor areas, reducing the actual expenditure of serious illness expenses for the poor. If it is still difficult to pay for the new rural cooperative medical system and serious illness insurance, we should increase medical assistance, temporary assistance, charitable assistance and other assistance efforts to bring all the poor people into the scope of serious illness assistance, so that the treatment of serious illness for the poor people can be effectively guaranteed.

To get rid of poverty with the rural subsistence allowance system, it is necessary to formulate the implementation plan for the effective connection between the rural subsistence allowance system and the poverty alleviation and development policy as soon as possible, improve the rural subsistence allowance system, and implement policy guarantee for families who cannot rely on industrial support and employment to help get rid of poverty.

Asset income poverty alleviation refers to quantifying the assets formed by investing special financial poverty alleviation funds and other agriculture-related funds into facilities agriculture, aquaculture, photovoltaic, hydropower, rural tourism and other projects to poor villages and poor households, especially those who have lost their ability to work. Support farmers' cooperatives and other business entities to increase the income of poor households through land trust, livestock care and absorbing farmers' land management rights. The development of water, electricity, minerals and other resources in poverty-stricken areas will give the village collective equity of the occupied land and let the poor people share the benefits of resource development.
