摘要

While China has eradicated extreme income poverty, multidimensional deprivation among rural left-behind children (LBCs) remains a critical challenge. Analyzing nationally representative CHIP data (2018–2023), this study reveals three key findings: First, LBCs experience 1.3 times higher multidimensional poverty than non-LBCs, with severe deprivations in adults’ education, cooking fuel, heating equipment, sanitation, transportation and community safety. Second, maternal absence significantly increases deprivation, highlighting mothers’ unique caregiving role. Third, parental work in large cities reduces poverty more effectively than in smaller cities, though this advantage has diminished since 2020. These findings underscore the need to address care deficits in poverty alleviation strategies.
