Three years after declaring victory over extreme poverty, China continues to strengthen its gains with innovative policies and targeted support. 💪 President Xi Jinping’s 2021 announcement marked a historic milestone, and since then, the nation has focused on safeguarding vulnerable communities while boosting rural economies.
Here’s the lowdown:
Over 60% of households at risk of falling back into poverty have stabilized since 2021.
Migrant work programs created 34 million jobs in 2023 alone, contributing to 60%+ of low-income families’ earnings.
Rural residents in former poverty zones now see income growth faster than the national average. 🚜
Central funding for rural industries jumped from 53% to over 60% since 2021, and 75% of households now partner with modern agricultural businesses. Healthcare coverage? A staggering 99%+ enrollment rate!
Experts say the secret sauce lies in sustainable job creation and community-driven projects. As one researcher put it: It’s about empowering people, not just handing out rice bowls. 🌏 With global poverty reduction goals in focus, China’s model offers lessons—and hope—for equitable growth.
