易地扶贫搬迁后续扶持政策对农户多维相对贫困的影响

As China’s poverty reduction strategy has changed from eliminating absolute poverty to alleviating relative poverty in the new stage, the follow-up supportive policies of relocation for poverty alleviation is an important measure to consolidate the achievements of poverty alleviation through relocation and it is necessary to examine the impact of the policy on multidimensional relative poverty alleviation of farming households. This study introduced risk and social exclusion into the framework of sustainable livelihood, and constructed the analytical framework of“followup supportive policies → livelihood strategies → multidimensional relative poverty”. It adopted a formative structural equation model to conduct empirical analysis of survey data of relocated farmers. The conclusions of this research are as follows. (1) The follow- up supportive policies including industrial, employment, public service, and so on have effectively alleviated multidimensional relative poverty (- 0.181). Specifically, these policies can directly reduce the multidimensional relative poverty of farming households (- 0.097), and effectively improve their livelihood strategies, thereby indirectly alleviating their multidimensional relative poverty (- 0.084). (2) Risk (0.150) and social exclusion (0.088) directly lead to the falling of relocated farming households into multidimensional relative poverty. When the relocated farmers are faced with social exclusion and risk, they will have difficulties in employment, income, social integration, and other conditions. (3) The path that follow- up supportive policies alleviate the multidimensional relative poverty of farmers by improving their livelihood strategies will be constrained by social exclusion and risk. Specifically, social exclusion has a significant negative regulatory effect (- 0.160) in the process of follow- up supportive policies promoting farming household livelihood transition, and risk has a significant positive regulatory effect (0.096) in the process. In the future, it is necessary to strengthen the top- level design of follow- up supportive policies of relocation, and strengthen the precise implementation of follow- up supportive policies for the governance of multidimensional relative poverty.
