生命历程视域下的贫困风险与资产建设

Poverty Risk and Asset Building from the Perspective of Life Course

我国反贫困战略将从消除绝对贫困转向缓解相对贫困,这要求我们必须更好地理解和应对脆弱人群生命历程的贫困风险,强化动态性贫困治理。资产建设的政策理念对此有积极启示。资产建设具有制度性、发展性及终身性的政策内涵,有助于形成包容性、跨越生命历程的社会保护。中国的经济社会变迁极大形塑了个体与家庭的生命历程特征,资产拥有日益成为累积性贫困分化的重要影响机制。在中国制度文化背景下,资产建设的发展一方面应关注政策实践的文化敏感性;另一方面还应强调救助保护与资产发展的整合,通过创新性政策设计强化反贫困的可持续性。

China’s anti-poverty strategy has increasingly been shifted from eradicating absolute poverty to alleviating relative poverty.It requires a better understanding and response to the poverty risk in the life course of vulnerable people,and strengthening dynamic poverty governance.The asset building policy ideas have important implications in this regard.Asset building has institutional,developmental and lifelong policy connotations,and is critical in building inclusive and life-course social protection.China’s dramatic socioeconomic transition has had profound impact on the life course of individuals and families.Asset holding has become a critical mechanism leading to accumulated poverty differentiation.In China’s institutional and cultural context,more attention should be casted to the cultural sensitivity of asset-based policy practices.Additionally,emphasis should also be placed on integration of income and asset development policies,and enhancing the sustainability of anti-poverty through innovative policy design.
