Abstract

Every country in the world has faced poverty to varying degrees. Poverty eradication is the primary development goal of the United Nations. The problem of poverty has attracted more and more attention from around the world. In China, women's poverty is more serious than men's due to historical and current social and economic structural reasons. Women have their own vulnerabilities, and at the same time, play a special role in the family. Therefore, women's poverty has attracted more and more attention from many different areas. Poor women in China are mainly concentrated in rural areas, which is of great theoretical and practical significance when studying the problem of rural women's poverty. In this paper, the poverty situation of rural women in China was investigated through interviews and questionnaires. The variables of the family income model and expenditure model of poor women were determined based on the understanding of the poverty situation of women and the economic knowledge they have acquired by means of stepwise regression. Finally, the paper puts forward effective suggestions for a national poverty alleviation policy.
