Most governments want to reduce poverty and inequality. Others can only do one. In the
past 20 years, China's unique conditions have reduced poverty and expanded wealth
inequality. Continue. China's rise to the world's second-largest economy has lifted
millions from poverty. China's CCP plans to end poverty by 2020. China wants to be
"moderately prosperous." Despite President Xi Jinping's 2020 proclamation that China
has overcome poverty, hundreds of millions still live in poverty.
China's economic progress is helping average people. Rapid industrialization and
urbanisation in China, a country of more than a billion, has allowed most of the rural
labour force to move to cities. Between 1978 and 2015, 70% of occupations were
non-agricultural. Low-income areas and homes modified. From 1996 to 2009, there was
no difference between nonfarm job growth in poor communities and the rest of the
country. In poor areas, fewer people left for nonfarm jobs than elsewhere. Between
2002 and 2012, wages and salaries as a percentage of rural families' total income rose
from 26% to 43%. Industrialization and urbanization job transfers benefited low-income
rural residents proportionately.
China's rural land ownership structure affects poverty. 90% of the top quintile's land in
rural China belongs to the bottom. This is more fair than China's (figure 3). Each poor
