A Probe into Poverty Issues of Minority Migrants in Mountain Areas during Transitional Period: A Case Study of Migration in Yongren

Yongren is a county in Yunnan Province which needs to alleviate its poverty. From November 27, 2001 to July 30, 2005, the government migrated 7561 persons of 1860 families to other places to help them get out of poverty. After migration, their living conditions have been greatly improved. However, their transitional poverty issues also have become striking. These include the poverty in economy, culture and psychology. Therefore, we need to help them solve such transitional problems in making sound policies, increasing migrants’ channels of income, improving their quality, respecting their cultures and leading them to national amalgamation so that they can enjoy their stable life.
