Feminization of poverty: an analysis of multidimensional poverty among rural women in China

N. Li and M. He

This study by Na Li and Mang He delves into the multidimensional poverty of rural women in China, revealing that they are more vulnerable compared to other groups. Key factors identified include age, marital status, and regional disparities, particularly in the Western Region. Excitingly, the report indicates a significant decrease in poverty risk from 2010 to 2020, highlighting the growing importance of non-material indicators like education and subjective well-being.

Abstract
This study analyzes the multidimensional poverty of rural women in China using CFPS data from 2010 to 2020 and the Alkire-Foster approach. It finds that rural women are more likely to be multidimensionally poor than other subgroups, with significant demographic and spatio-temporal differences. Older women and those without spouses or confidence are more deprived. Spatially, poverty is highest in the Western Region. Temporally, poverty risk decreased significantly from 2010 to 2020, with the importance of non-material indicators (education, health, subjective well-being) increasing.
