Study on Human Capital Structure Assessment and Relative Poverty Governance

Abstract

China has completed the target task of fully eradicating poverty among the absolute rural poor under the current standards on schedule, and the milestone victory in poverty alleviation means that the focus of poverty alleviation will shift from helping absolute poverty in the past to targeting relative poverty. Human capital is always a fundamental intrinsic factor in alleviating the problem of relative poverty. This paper completes action on the usual policy of shifting the focus of China's poverty alleviation strategy to comparative poverty management, and explores how the optimization of human capital structure affects the alleviation of comparative poverty, and what is its intrinsic influence logic? Using spatial vector theory and coupled synergy model, we construct a model to assess the level of human capital structure from the perspectives of both advanced human capital and high-low skill complementarity, and conduct regression analysis to examine the total effect of human capital structure optimization on relative poverty, and use methods such as mediating effect model to explore its intrinsic influence mechanism in depth, and conduct robustness test to conclude that human capital structure optimization has a positive effect on the alleviation of relative poverty. The results show that the optimization of human capital structure has a positive effect on the alleviation of virtual poverty. This study provides policy suggestions and paths to reduce relative poverty through optimizing human capital structure in the post-poverty era.
