可持续生计:一个城市减贫的新范式

Sustainable Livelihoods: A New Paradigm for City Poverty Reduction

城市贫困群体区别于农村贫困人群,具有致贫根源上的结构性、经济上的更脆弱、环境上的高风险、社会中的被排斥、心理上的边缘化等特征。起源于上个世纪末的"可持续生计"概念虽然最初立足于解决农村背景下的生计问题,但是在国外已经开始越来越广泛地应用于城市生计分析,也为我国的城市减贫工作提供了一个新思路。将可持续生计分析应用于我国城市减贫工作中,需要对其资产要素、作用路径以及具体内容进行"本土化"的修正,构建适应于我国国情的城市贫困群体生计框架。
