地位问题和相对贫困感影响个人行为和福祉。中国的传统规范和令人震惊的不平等使中国人口的相对贫困日益严重。本文回顾了有关中国的实证文献，试图检验相对剥夺假说，也回顾了相对剥夺的起源和途径，比较了文献中的经济措施，并总结了科学发现。作者从实证的角度，讨论了再分配、官方法规和基层制裁以及相对贫困缓解等方面的重要政策含义。
Status concern and feelings of relative deprivation affect individual behaviour and well-being. Traditional norms and the alarming inequality in China have made relative deprivation increasingly intense for the Chinese population. This article reviews empirical literature on China that attempts to test the relative deprivation hypothesis, and also reviews the origins and pathways of relative deprivation, compares its economic measures in the literature and summarises the scientific findings. Drawing from solid empirical evidence, the author discusses the important policy implications on redistribution, official regulations and grassroots sanctions, and relative poverty alleviation.
