Abstract

Based on the survey data of 2680 rural households in Hubei Province and the Family Life Cycle Model by Glick, this paper uses the Alkire ??"Foster multidimensional poverty method to measure the multidimensional poverty of households in different stages of family life cycle, and then analyzes the multi-dimensional poverty of rural households. Results found that the beginning stage has the least influence on the multi-dimensional poverty of farmers, followed by the declining stage, the mature stage and the expansive stage, while the growing stage the most influential effect. Therefore, education, training and non-agriculture activities have significant effect on multi-dimensional poverty. Therefore, the government should focus the anti-poverty policy on the families in the middle of the life cycle, reinforce vocational training among the farmers and provide more non-farming vocations to effectively reduce multi-dimensional poverty of farmers.
