Abstract

According Sen’s ability poverty theory, through construction of the evaluation system of multi-dimensional poverty, this paper used the AF method to measure the status of county-level multi-dimensional poverty in Xinjiang and found that the situation of extreme poverty in counties in Southern Xinjiang is very prominent, and mainly concentrated in three dimensions, that is, the level of economic development, the environmental resources and the standard of living. Compared with that of counties in Southern Xinjiang, the heterogeneity of poverty in northern counties is significantly, focusing mainly on these three dimensions, they are the environmental resources, the living standards and the health. Then the logistic regression analysis was used and factors that have a positive impact on poverty reduction were found, they are economic development, environmental resources and living standards, however, the positive effect of education did not show significantly.
