Abstract

Employment poverty alleviation plays a paramount role in establishing a stable long-term mechanism for poverty alleviation by improving the ability of poor labor force and promoting the income of the poor population. A two-dimensional analysis framework of “policy tool - release hierarchy” was established. Based on the policies related to employment poverty alleviation by the central government and local government in China from 2016 to 2019, Nvivo was used to code and analyze the policy contents. The results show that supply-oriented policy tools account for 49% of the central government’s policy tools and 58% of the local government’s policy tools. Secondly, environment-oriented policy tools account for 41% of the central government’s policy tools and 37% of the local government’s policy tools. Then, demand-oriented policies account for 10% of the central government’s policy tools and 5% of the local government’s policy tools. Both the central government and the local government prefer to use environment-oriented and supply-oriented policy tools, and the demand-oriented policy tools are underused. At the same time, the internal structure of supply-oriented and environment-oriented policy tools is not balanced. In the supply-oriented policy tools, capital investment accounts for a large proportion, and yet the proportion of personnel training and technical support is relatively low. In the environment-oriented policy tools, the proportion of strategic measures and system planning is larger, and yet the proportion of tax incentives and regulation is low. In the future, the government should appropriately increase the proportion of demand-oriented policy tools, and pay attention to the internal structure optimization of supply-oriented and environment-oriented policy tools.
