Abstract

Abstract: From a dynamic perspective, the study of poverty transmission between generations is of reference value for policy-making to eradicate long-term poverty. Based on the CHIP data from the year 1988 to 2013, this paper examines the change of intergenerational transmission of poverty among rural residents in different birth years. The result shows that, with the absolute poverty as the standard, the degree of intergenerational transmission of poverty is greatly reduced among people who were born from 1960s to 1980s. However, that of relative poverty tends to rise, and the regional distribution increases in sequence in the west. Besides, this paper uses the intermediate variable method and the Altham analysis method to do further analysis. It is found that the educational inequality and occupational solidification are enhanced with the development of the times, so this provides a strong explanatory for the intergenerational transmission changes.

Key words: intergenerational transmission of poverty, relative poverty, educational inequality, occupation solidification
