我国城市贫困的文化成因和表现特征探析

An Analyses on the Cultrual Causes and Its Features of China's Urban Poverty

贫困成因分析主要有两个理论取向:结构解释和文化解释。我国城市贫困是在社会转型的基础上发展起来的“结构性”贫困。但是随着时间的推移,贫困者的境况若长期得不到改善,“结构性”贫困就向“文化性”贫困发展,对贫困者的影响更为深远。因此,政府的反贫困政策不仅要消除“结构性”贫困,更应该着手“文化性”贫困的治理。

In this thesis,the analyses of the causes of urban poverty mainly are two-theory-oriented,that is, the structural explanation and the cultural explanation. In China, urban poverty was derived from the social transformation and therefore, it was acturally structual poverty at the beginning. However, with the passage of time,if the situation of structual poverty can not be improved for long, the structual poverty will deteriorate to cultural poverty, which will cause even more potential problems for the poor. As a result, the anti-poverty policies of the government should not only set eyes on eliminating the structural poverty, but also should be committed to curing the cultural poverty.
