Description: "Despite recent economic advances, a significant proportion of people in China are still poor. This book investigates the problem of poverty in China's regions, discussing in particular the role of rural-urban migration in reducing rural poverty. It surveys the distribution and characteristics of poverty, examines anti-poverty initiatives by the Chinese government, and includes the results of an original case study conducted in Shanxi, a typical province in central China."--BOOK JACKET.
