Mitigation or exacerbation: a study of the impact of government subsidies on poor farmers' vulnerability
The comprehensive victory in poverty alleviation means that the problem of absolute poverty in rural areas has been solved, and the results of poverty alleviation must be consolidated and expanded in the next stage. Based on the survey data of poverty alleviation quality in S County, mountainous area of southern Hubei Province in 2020, the impact mechanism of government subsidies on the vulnerability of poor farmers was studied. The results show that: (1)there is a significant negative correlation between government subsidies and the vulnerability of poor farmers; (2) there is a significant positive correlation between government subsidies and the vulnerability of poverty-alleviated farmers; (3) government subsidies will increase their vulnerability by reducing the enthusiasm of poverty-alleviated farmers to generate income independently. In view of this, the countermeasures are proposed: first, scientific monitoring mechanism should be established to rationally use the poverty reduction function of government subsidies to deal with sporadic poverty returns and new poverty, and prevent large-scale return to poverty; second, the follow-up assistance to poverty-alleviated farmers should focus on livelihood assistance such as industrial assistance and employment assistance to help them build a sustainable livelihood framework, and prudently use and appropriately reduce their direct transfer fund subsidies to avoid counterproductive assistance effects.
