Multidimensional Poverty and Poverty Reduction Policies in Rural China during 1995-2013

Using the multidimensional poverty index(MPI), this paper measures the intertemporal change in poverty in China's rural areas during 1995-2013, decomposes major poverty reduction factors, and creates a correlation between poverty reduction factors and national pro-farmer and poverty reduction policies. Our findings suggest that multidimensional poverty has been greatly alleviated in rural China on all fronts beyond the income dimension. Specifically, the burden of out-of-pocket medical expenses contributed the most to the overall poverty of farmers in the 1990s; this gap was subsequently mitigated by the New Rural Cooperative Medical Insurance System. Lack of economic empowerment-the second most prominent manifestation of poverty two decades ago-has been alleviated with public welfare improvements. In the present stage, health and healthcare are the primary difficulties facing poor farmers multidimensionally. Sub-groups such as elders,those less educated and those living in western China or in poor counties suffer from a high degree of poverty. This implies that multidimensional poverty is concentrated among the underprivileged groups and in less developed regions, whom should be policy priorities.Robustness tests suggest that the paper's conclusion still holds after changing the proxy variables of the subdimensions, revising weights or removing some dimensions.

Research on European rural vitalization policies

Since the 19 th National Congress of the Communist Party of China,rural vitalization has attracted more and more attention in China.Compared with China,European countries have already experienced the by-product of rural development bottleneck brought by urbanization.Population loss,imbalance of industrial structure and destruction of rural ecological environment are the main reasons to limit the sustainable development of rural areas.This paper explores the rural vitalization policies of developed countries in Europe,summarizes the relevant rural policies of the European Union in recent years,analyzes typical rural vitalization cases in Europe,and tries to provide references and guidance for rural vitalization in China.

要素流动对城乡融合发展的影响机理与空间分异研究

城乡要素双向自由流动有利于提高要素配置效率和优化城乡关系,促进城乡融合发展。现有关于要素流动对城乡融合发展的研究主要围绕传统生产要素对城乡融合发展的研究展开讨论,鲜有文献将数据这一新型生产要素纳入城乡要素流动范围并探索其对城乡融合发展的影响机理。基于2010—2021年中国31个省份的面板数据,在测算要素流动、城乡融合发展水平的基础上,构建双向固定效应模型、地理加权回归模型和中介效应模型实证检验要素流动对城乡融合发展的影响效应及作用机制。研究发现:第一,全国要素流动总指数呈现出小幅度增长的态势,位于均值之上的地区中64%是城乡融合发展试验区,说明城乡融合发展政策实施具有重要的引导作用;第二,要素流动显著促进城乡融合发展,这一结论在引入城乡之间距离作为工具变量进行内生性检验、采用删除4个直辖市和缩短时间窗口的方法进行稳健性检验之后仍然成立;第三,空间异质性分析中,劳动力、土地和数据要素始终表现出促进城乡融合发展的作用,随着时间的推移,土地要素对不同地区城乡融合发展影响程度逐渐增强、影响范围逐步扩大,技术要素对城乡融合发展的促进逐渐凸现,由华东和华南地区向东北和西南地区转移;第四,在要素流动影响城乡融合发展的过程中,电商销售是要素流动影响城乡融合发展的重要途径,农业机械化和产业结构变迁并未发挥出中介变量的作用,不同于已有的研究结果。因此,今后持续深化城乡融合发展的内涵与外延、拓展深度与广度;始终以习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想为指导,运用科学的世界观和方法论,坚持整体推进与试点示范相统一的指导原则,推广实践中形成的典型经验。研究结论为城乡要素双向合理流动的机制建立、城乡融合发展体制机制的健全提供了理论和经验上的参考。

在全面贯彻落实乡村振兴战略的过程中,目前农村地区发展还面临许多挑战。其中,高素质农民培育是乡村人才振兴的重要抓手,能够最大限度地推动农村经济的发展,显著提升农民的收入水平,然而在具体培育过程中还存在政府资金投入不足、培育内容与生产生活脱节、农民培训管理机制不健全等问题和制约因素。只有解决好这些问题,才能最大限度地推动高素质农民培育工作。基于此,在阐述高素质农民培育的内涵和重要意义、分析高素质农民培育过程中存在的问题及原因的基础上,系统提出了相应的政策支持体系建设对策,以期为促进高素质农民培育工作提供重要参考。

乡村休闲旅游政策的量化评价与发展展望

乡村休闲旅游政策是提振乡村发展活力、推动乡村富民产业发展的战略性调整手段之一。文章选取2012年11月-2022年12月中央层面发布的137份乡村休闲旅游政策文件作为研究对象,通过构建政策结构、政策工具、政策效力的三维分析框架,运用社会网络分析法、政策工具法以及政策一致性指数模型,以定性分析和定量分析相结合的研究方式对乡村休闲旅游政策的优势和不足进行分析。研究发现:从政策结构来看,政策数量总体呈波动式上升,政策主体存在部分集聚现象;从政策工具来看,呈现出重供给型和环境型、轻需求型特征;从政策效力来看,整体处于良好及以上水平,部分政策在政策作用方式、政策措施等方面存在提升空间。为此,该研究从以下3个方面提出我国乡村休闲旅游政策后续发展的政策优化展望:一是政策主体,实现多部门、多层级的深化合作与协同联动,以政策合力提升政策供给效率和供给质量;二是政策工具,打造供给型、需求型、环境型相互配合的政策工具体系,优化政策工具类型与内部结构;三是政策内容,从政策监管纠偏、绩效量化、双向反馈等层面提升政策精准性和有效性,确保政策精准落地。

农村居家养老的需求、困境及对策——基于北京市生态涵养区调研

在我国农村严重老龄化和实施乡村振兴战略的背景下,农村养老必须开创一个既能不离乡土、不离乡情,又能享受专业化、人性化供养服务的中国特色居家养老新模式。生态涵养区财政收入低、老龄化程度深、养老服务成本高,是北京农村居家养老应重点关注的区域。基于调研数据,分析北京生态涵养区农村老龄化现状和居家养老的现实需求,指出其在政策机制、财政投入、协同联动等方面存在的主要问题,并提出以下政策建议:强化顶层设计,不断优化完善农村居家养老政策机制;加大政策补贴力度,合理制定补贴内容和补贴方式;促进多部门、多主体、多措施联动,统筹谋划农村居家养老。

Policy Capital Research on Cultivating High-Quality Farmers in the Context of Rural Revitalization

The Law of the People’s Republic of China on the Promotion of Rural Revitalization has come into effect on June 1,2021,which stipulates in Article 24 that the State shall improve the institutional mechanism for working with rural talents and promote the cultivation of high-quality farmers.In 2022 and 2023,the No.1 document of the Central Government both proposed“implementing a plan to cultivate high-quality farmers”,and in the report of the 20th Party Congress,General Secretary Xi once again emphasized“solidly promoting the revitalization of rural talents”.High-quality farmers have become the core talent component of the rural talent team.In this context,there is an urgent need for in-depth research on the cultivation of high-quality farmers in China.This paper takes the cooperative leaders in Shanghai as an example,summarizes the current situation of high-quality farmer cultivation in Shanghai through quantitative and qualitative analysis,and proposes policy capital,explores the remaining problems of high-quality farmer cultivation from the micro,meso and macro aspects of policy capital,and puts forward some targeted development opinions,hoping to help the cultivation of high-quality farmers.

农村留守儿童教育政策的演变逻辑

农村留守儿童是我国城市化进程中产生的特殊群体,党和政府为此陆续出台了一系列政策,不断完善留守儿童关爱服务机制。我国留守儿童政策经历了萌芽期(1996—2007年)、形成期(2007—2016年)和深化期(2016年至今)三个阶段。留守儿童政策制定有其内在逻辑,从关注留守儿童基本教育保障到关心弱势群体教育,维护教育公平,再到促进教育脱贫与实现乡村振兴,政策制定的立意持续深化,内容不断丰富,成效日益突出。政府应进一步完善寄宿制学校新型教育模式,设置留守儿童专项经济资助经费,进一步健全社会关爱体系,构建留守儿童社会情感能力评价机制,确保农村留守儿童健康成长。

重塑政策共同体:破解基层政府“小马拉大车”的系统逻辑及实现路径——以寻乌县乡村产业振兴政策实践为例

基层政府是国家行政序列的“末梢”,承担着推进乡村全面振兴的时代使命和社会责任。作为乡村产业振兴政策的施策主角,如何聚力赋能巩固强化乡村产业振兴战果,是破解基层政府“小马拉大车”困境的关键。基层政府必须顺应系统内外生态环境变化,凝聚政策共同体力量,既有力度地实现政策目标又有温度地满足村民需求。对此,要重塑以基层政府为中心的政策共同体,以资源冗余机制、互动维稳机制、定向赋能机制破解施策之困,通过外源调适、合作调适、内源调适路径提升乡村产业的竞争性、高效性与韧性。

电子商务进农村综合示范政策对县域农业增长的影响研究

本文利用2000—2019年我国县域数据,采用多期DID等方法探讨了电子商务进农村综合示范政策对县域农业发展水平的影响。研究结果显示,电子商务进农村综合示范政策对县域农业经济发展水平提高具有显著的促进作用,且这种促进作用具有长期效应。这一结果在考虑实验组非随机分配、更换因变量和调整样本后仍然稳健。电子商务进农村综合示范政策主要通过农业产业集聚、农业金融服务改善两个途径对县域农业发展水平产生影响。异质性分析表明,电子商务进农村综合示范政策对粮食主产区、经济欠发达地区、地形平缓地区的农业发展水平的促进作用更强。因此,应重视农村电子商务发展对推进乡村全面振兴、促进共同富裕的重要作用,政府要在农村电子商务带头人培训、电子商务基础设施建设、农业产业集聚的产业空间布局规划等方面发挥作用,注重数字普惠金融与县域农业发展的融合,强化数字普惠金融的支持力度。

共同富裕愿景下增进农村低收入人口福利的政策创新——基于三次分配分析框架

面向全体人民共同富裕的伟大愿景目标,迫切需要对标共同富裕、研判福利差距,并进行制度性的回应。三次分配制度是改善农村低收入人口福利差距、促进农村低收入人口持续增收、实现全体人民共同富裕的有效手段。中国农村和农民在不断分化转型,三次分配的契合性也不尽相同。脱贫攻坚期间,中国基于三次分配的不同着力点围绕农村低收入群体展开了一系列政策实践,但是存在初次分配效率不高、再分配水平低、第三次分配尚未找到切入点、不同层次分配间协同性不足等问题。未来政策调整应当以加大农业就业准入门槛、提高农村低收入群体的劳动报酬、扩大农村非农就业机会作为初次分配的着力点;以强化农村低收入人口的转移支付力度、提高基本公共服务和社会保障均等化的深度与广度、完善农业支持与资源保护政策等作为再分配的着力点;以丰富第三次分配的实现形式、强化第三次分配与初次分配、再分配间的协同配合作为第三次分配的创新着力点。

地方改革试点的实践样态与行动逻辑--基于“激励-问责”协同性框架的多案例分析

改革试点是一种重要的治国理政机制。中国的改革试点不仅是一种纵向的分级制政策实验,在横向上地方改革试点还表现出明显的地方性差异。改革试点对应的是宽泛的政策指导与政策的灵活性,政策执行的条件将直接影响地方改革效能。在地方改革试点中,激励结构与问责力度是影响政策执行的两个关键要素。基于全国农村产权制度改革的多案例研究结果表明,地方政府的激励结构、问责强度和资源禀赋构成了地方改革试点的使动条件,地方主政者的行动态度、行动空间和行动能力构成了地方改革试点的能动条件,两者协同促使地方政府采取争先创新、稳妥有序、应付避责与象征执行的行动策略。因此,在地方改革试点中,要营造更具包容性的政策环境,建立相对均衡的制度结构,激发地方改革创新的积极性和能动性,以提升地方治理效能。

农村医养结合型养老服务政策的演进逻辑

伴随着健康中国战略的稳步推进,我国农村医养结合型养老服务体系经历了从供给不足到供需相对均衡的发展过程,逐步形成了与经济社会持续健康发展相协调的高质量社会养老服务体系,在满足公众需求、缓解社会矛盾、促进社会公平、增进老年福祉等方面发挥了重要作用。深入挖掘其在政策目标、政策内容、价值取向等方面的阶段性特征和变化趋势,通过社会网络分析发现,我国农村医疗卫生与养老服务相结合由点到面逐步拓展,二者由彼此独立走向有机融合,其结合、融合与整合的体制机制逐渐成熟,二者相结合由逐步成熟向深度融合阶段迈进。为了促进医养结合政策的有效衔接,我国应加快推进农村医养结合型养老服务体系建设,以县域医共体为核心发展农村医养结合型养老服务,探究不同类型政策工具之间的合理匹配,全方位提高农村医养结合型养老服务质量,不断提升老年人健康保障水平。
