What is the significance of determining the number of poor people?

In addition to income and consumption, the identification of the poor depends on behavior and ability.

Most analysts believe that social indicators should be included in determining the overall assessment of living standards. Other aspects of poverty, such as health, longevity and literacy rate, were included in the definition of poverty in the1980s.

The United Nations Development Programme has played a leading role in defining poverty from the perspective of human development, and adopted several measurement methods, including human development index and human poverty index. The human poverty index focuses on three aspects of poverty: life expectancy, literacy rate and living standard.

Life expectancy is measured by the percentage of people who died before the age of 40, the literacy rate is measured by the percentage of adults who can read and write, and the living standard is measured by the percentage of residents who have access to medical services, the percentage of residents who have access to safe drinking water and the percentage of malnourished children under the age of 5.

Apply for poverty alleviation subsidy policy:

To apply for agricultural subsidies, you can find the local agricultural bureau, agricultural office, finance bureau, agricultural comprehensive office, tourism bureau, science and technology bureau, forestry bureau, development and reform commission, etc. The above departments can declare every year, and the subsidy for each project ranges from 200 thousand to 600 thousand. For example, subsidies for central financial projects generally range from several million yuan to tens of millions of yuan.

You can also find water conservancy bureau, environmental protection bureau, poverty alleviation office in old areas, economic and trade bureau, etc. These projects have less funds, ranging from 500,000 to 200,000.

Of course, according to the different specific projects, you should choose the departments and departments you are looking for. Here we will introduce some specific departmental functions for your reference (the settings of local departments may be different):

1, Management Section

This department mainly guides the construction of farmers' professional cooperative economic organizations.

In the future, the state subsidy funds for supporting cooperatives will give priority to supporting demonstration cooperatives. In other words, if your cooperative doesn't get the brand of Model Union, your chances of applying for a policy in the future are not great. Everyone applies for a cooperative demonstration society, and a lot of work needs to be communicated with the management department. Some places may set up management stations, which are also the competent departments of cooperative development.

2. Market and Economic Information Section

This department is mainly responsible for the implementation of the "vegetable basket project". Therefore, if you don't understand the "vegetable basket" project, you can go to this department for consultation. If you want to declare the "vegetable basket" project, you can also communicate with this department more.

3, poverty alleviation and development leading group office

We usually call it "Poverty Alleviation Office", which is mainly responsible for the distribution, management and supervision of poverty alleviation funds.

Poverty alleviation projects mainly support enterprises or cooperatives. You can apply for poverty alleviation funds directly from the Poverty Alleviation Office. At present, poverty alleviation offices in basic counties can approve poverty alleviation projects without reporting to the municipal or provincial level for approval.

4. Office of Agricultural Industrialization

Mainly responsible for the recommendation and declaration of leading enterprises in agricultural industrialization in provinces and cities, as well as the primary selection and declaration of agricultural industrialization projects. General enterprises and cooperatives should establish a good communication mechanism with this department.

In addition, since many agricultural projects are the integration of primary, secondary and tertiary industries, the subsidy application is not limited to the agricultural sector. In fact, you can consult the departments you can think of.
