Accelerated the Process of Eradicating Poverty in Rural China

In China’s poor areas，economic and cultural backwardness and too many births often interact as both cause and effect.The Chinese government has taken an important step in giving support to the development of poor areas to alleviate poverty by promoting family planning，holding population growth under control，and raising the life quality of the population in those areas.Since 1978，the state has adopted a series of measures to make those living below the poverty line drop from 250 million to 70 million in 1995.The Chinese government has combined the solution of the problem of the portion of society living under the poverty level with family planning to free families from the vicious cycle of“the poorer they are，the more chil-dren they give birth to，and the more children they give birth to，the poorer they become.”In this respect，marked achievements have been obtained.

In the community that have extricated themselves from poverty，farming households that have implemented family planning are often in a clearly avantageous position.
