Abstract:
Based on the survey data from Chinese residents’ income survey database (CHIP) in 2013, this paper uses the Quantile Regression (QR) model to study the model of net income per capita of rural households under the contrast of poverty and non-poverty. The results show a significant correlation of health, education, social security, non-agricultural employment to household poverty. The coefficient difference test showed that the difference between the pension and other medical insurance, time ratio of local and urban working was significantly negative. In the robust regression test, the regression results of the low-income and non-low-income quantiles show that there is no significant difference between the variables of poor and non-poor families, but the difference in significance level of coefficients shows great changes in coefficient difference test, which shows the effect of local non-agricultural employment time ratio is more significant for low-income family income.
