After eight years of continuous development struggle, we have completed the target task of poverty eradication in a new era China as scheduled. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out, "After we build a moderately prosperous society in 2020, we will eliminate absolute poverty, but relative poverty will still exist for a long time. By then, our current poverty eradication initiatives for absolute poverty will have to be gradually adjusted to daily help measures for a relative poverty and integrated into the management structure of the national strategy for rural cultural revitalization." This poses a new research task for the theoretical community.

Different countries have different relative poverty criteria, which are often related to the level of development of productivity, the situation of the poor in their country and social development goals. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that "we should always take the realization, maintenance and development of the fundamental interests of the broadest number of people as the starting and ending points of all our work, so that the fruits of development will be more equitable and benefit all people." The delineation of China's relative poverty standard and the solution of the relative poverty problem should take the realization, maintenance and development of the fundamental interests of the broadest people as the starting point and the footing point, starting from the basic national conditions of the primary stage of socialism, neither going beyond the stage of development to put forward unrealistic goals, but also doing our best to meet the needs of the people for a better life, so that all the people can share the fruits of reform and development. People's need for a better life is multidimensional, and the criteria for relative poverty should also be multidimensional. Income alone is not sufficient to accurately identify relative poverty status, nor is it sufficient to alleviate or even eliminate relative poverty. According to the overview of multidimensional poverty indicators in the existing literature, combined with international standards and practical experiences of various countries, the multidimensional measurement of relative poverty in China should include income, living conditions, employment, education, health, social security and social integration. The dimensions and weights can be further refined according to the characteristics of urban and rural areas, regions and populations, and more targeted poverty alleviation policies can be adopted. At the same time, top-level design should be strengthened to establish a long-term mechanism for addressing relative poverty and to facilitate the smooth transformation of poverty alleviation strategies and work systems.
