Towards the end of the year, the income accounting of poverty alleviation households began. The helper Xiaojin was a little worried.
Xiao Jin is an ordinary worker at the county housing management center, and he subcontracts three poverty alleviation households. These three households were all subcontracted by him since 2017 and lifted out of poverty in 2019. After being lifted out of poverty, these three households continued to enjoy the original poverty alleviation policies, and their family income also increased year by year, and the three households were very satisfied.
Since last year, Xiaojin has felt that the help work is not good, especially the annual accounting of poverty alleviation households, which requires the net income of the family to increase by 10% compared with the previous year.
Last year, the starting point of these three households was not high, and they all increased by 10%. This year, it will be a bit difficult to increase the accounts by another 10%.
Xiao Jin believes that the continuous growth of the income of poverty alleviation households faces three problems.
First, some poverty alleviation households, especially those with policy support, have little potential for income growth. Taking the village subcontracted by the county housing management center as an example, the income composition of poverty alleviation households is unreasonable. Most of the households lifted out of poverty under the Subsistence Allowance and the Five Guarantees are mainly income from transfer income such as the Subsistence Allowance and the Five Guarantees, and the operating income accounts for a relatively low proportion and the channels for increasing income are narrow, which is a policy-based poverty alleviation. These transfer incomes are of a social nature, and it is difficult to significantly increase the security standard in a short period of time due to the limited financial resources of the local government.
Second, poverty alleviation households have only one channel for generating income and increasing income, and their income growth is not stable enough. Most of the poverty alleviation households have their main income** from working outside the home or engaging in traditional farming and animal husbandry, which is greatly affected by the macroeconomic situation and market factors.
Third, the ability of poverty alleviation households to generate income and increase income is not high. Most of the poverty alleviation households have a low level of education and skills, and most of the jobs they are engaged in are low-end industries with average income. In particular, due to the dual impact of the downward pressure on the economy and the impact of the epidemic, some people are hindered from going out to work, and some areas have difficulty in selling agricultural products, which may lead to a slowdown or even a decrease in the income growth of some poverty alleviation households in a short period of time.
So, how to promote the sustained growth of the income of poverty alleviation households?Xiao Jin suggested starting from five aspects.
The first is to vigorously develop rural e-commerce. Widely carry out e-commerce knowledge training, actively cooperate with e-commerce enterprises, and break the institutional and institutional barriers to the flow of elements from cities to rural areas through online platform sales and live broadcast e-commerce, so that farmers can change from "facing the loess and facing the sky" to "facing the screen and relying on computing" to get rich by data and technology, and promote the transformation of the traditional clothing industry to data-based, standardized and intelligent modern agriculture.
The second is to implement the assistance policy in a timely manner. Actively implement incentives and subsidies for migrant workers, industrial incentives, and transportation subsidies for migrant workers, innovate incentives and subsidies for industrial employment in accordance with local conditions, and guide poverty alleviation households to turn products into commodities and physical goods into cash in a timely manner. Conscientiously implement livelihood security policies such as education, medical care, housing, drinking water, rural subsistence allowances, assistance and support for persons living in extreme poverty, old-age care, and temporary assistance, and promptly include all eligible people lifted out of poverty and those subject to monitoring into the scope of assistance and support and temporary assistance for persons living in extreme poverty in rural areas. Innovate and launch a number of public welfare posts such as rural cleaning, green protection, water protection, forest protection, road protection, public facility maintenance, and road traffic safety persuasion to stimulate poverty alleviation.
The third is to develop and strengthen the village collective economy. Implement the "one village, one policy" approach in towns and villages, and explore the "five-type" development path of joint-stock cooperation, resource development, asset management, project-driven and service-generated income according to local conditions. Through the development and expansion of the collective economy, we will cultivate and expand the advantageous industries in rural areas, promote governance through development, and constantly create a happy and beautiful life scene in the countryside, so as to realize the beauty of the village, the prosperity of the industry, and the harmony of the village.
Fourth, it is necessary to speed up the development of agricultural industrialization. Through the all-round improvement of agricultural technology, products and services, we will change the extensive development model of traditional agriculture of "relying on the sky to eat", expand and strengthen characteristic agriculture such as flowers, vegetables, small berries and large-scale breeding according to local conditions, improve the added value of agricultural products and agricultural production efficiency, and take the road of branding and high-end development.
Fifth, promote the flow of talents to rural areas. From retired teachers, veterans, returning entrepreneurs and other talents, select the best and strongest village "three committees" team, especially the branch secretary. Strengthen the management of the first secretary, give full play to the role of the first secretary in "grasping the branch and leading the branch secretary", and lead the promotion of rural revitalization. Intensify the cultivation of talents, carry out the training of famous class teachers and teachers in rural schools, and carry out the training of famous doctors in rural clinics. Pay attention to the training and exploration of rural practical talents in the front line of industrial development, and cultivate at least 20 new farmers who understand technology and can operate in each village every year.
