内容简介:
Several arguments for applying a relative poverty line to urban China are presented: Living standards in urban China are approaching the ones in rich countries where poverty is typically assessed against a relative poverty line. According to survey responses did urban residents in China 2013 assess a much higher income to be necessary than was the case in 2002. Furthermore local governments in urban China have increased the purchasing power of the Di Bao lines used when assessing claims for social assistance.
