Research on Rural Family Women's Poverty from Multi-dimensional Perspective

This paper uses the data of "China Family Panel Studies", combined with multidimensional poverty theory and AF multidimensional measurement method, based on the perspective of rural female individual. It constructs the system framework of multi-dimensional poverty of rural family women from six dimensions of economy, culture, health, spiritual life, social interaction and time. It measures the multidimensional poverty of women and compares it with the multi-dimensional poverty of rural men. The results show that, overall, the poverty level of rural women is higher than that of men. Among them, the incidence of poverty in women in income and cultural dimensions is significantly higher than that in men, and it is obviously weak in the dimension of decision-making power. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen poverty alleviation work for rural women in terms of income and culture.
