On the other hand, relocated households with non-land-based resettlement have no access to their original income-generating resources like land (Li et al., 2020), and their subsequent livelihoods have to rely on non-agricultural employment. However, the livelihood model based on non-agricultural employment demands higher levels of labor skills and physical health (Wang & Wang, 2016), making it difficult for the relocated population with lower levels human capital and weaker employment competitiveness to achieve stable self-employment and adapt themselves to the new livelihood model (Xu & Shen, 2018; Li, 2016). Policies for employment assistance can increase their income channels by enhancing the ability of the poor laborers to develop in their own and increasing the supply of employment (Shen & Zhang, 2019), and significantly reducing poverty vulnerability in relatively poor areas (Xie & Ding, 2019), improving their well-being (Zhou et al., 2020) and promoting the community integration for the relocated households (Lyu et al., 2019).

摘要

The task of poverty alleviation relocation during the 13th Five-year Plan period has been fully completed. However, the relocated people are those who have the greatest difficulty in consolidating the achievements of targeted poverty alleviation and the highest risk of falling back into poverty (Tu, 2020). Stable employment is the primary path to achieving long-term poverty alleviation for the relocated people (Zhang & Zhang, 2020). On the one hand, the relocated population for poverty alleviation is extremely impoverished (He et al., 2017). After being relocated, their original social networks are to some extent disrupted, leading to a weakening of social capital (Zhou & Mao, 2017; Qu & Zuo, 2019), which affects their access to non-agricultural employment resources. On the other hand, relocated households with non-land-based resettlement have no access to their original income-generating resources like land (Li et al., 2020), and their subsequent livelihoods have to rely on non-agricultural employment. However, the livelihood model based on non-agricultural employment demands higher levels of labor skills and physical health (Wang & Wang, 2016), making it difficult for the relocated population with lower levels human capital and weaker employment competitiveness to achieve stable self-employment and adapt themselves to the new livelihood model (Xu & Shen, 2018; Li, 2016). Policies for employment assistance can increase their income channels by enhancing the ability of the poor laborers to develop in their own and increasing the supply of employment (Shen & Zhang, 2019), and significantly reducing poverty vulnerability in relatively poor areas (Xie & Ding, 2019), improving their well-being (Zhou et al., 2020) and promoting the community integration for the relocated households (Lyu et al., 2019).
