Resumen
Descripción
This overview summarizes the key
findings of the eight chapters and one policy note. It is
organized as follows. The first section provides a
background of Guangdong, while the second describes the
current situation of inequality in the province. Next is a
discussion of the potential impacts of the transfer of
industrial activities ('industrial transfer') in
mitigating regional disparity, followed by the
recommendation of a three pillar strategy for Guangdong. The
fifth section focuses on the elimination of absolute poverty
through the minimum living allowance (Dibao) system, and the
sixth turns to policy actions needed to increase
opportunities for the rural population by moving them to
jobs, increasing their access to finance, and ensuring that
their land rights are better protected. The seventh section
further assesses Guangdong's options for investing in
people through more equitable service delivery in compulsory
education, skill development, and health care, with the aim
of enhancing the capacity of the poor to seize and utilize
opportunities. The last section concludes this overview.
