本文采用动态的视角，对2000年、2001年和2002年中国农村少数民族和多数民族的贫困状况进行了调查。根据国家统计局的低收入线，在所研究的三年中，近三分之一的少数民族经历了贫困，而多数民族的相应比例只有一半左右。不过，到目前为止，中国农村的大多数穷人都属于少数民族。中国农村少数民族贫困率相对较高的原因是，少数民族的入学率高于多数民族，而各民族之间的辍学率差异很小。在很大程度上，民族贫困差异可以归因于地理位置的差异，中国农村的暂时性和持续性贫困具有非常明显的空间特征。贫困集中在西部地区和平均收入较低的村庄。中国农村持续性和暂时性贫困的决定因素因地域和家庭特征而异。
Poverty among ethnic minorities and the majority in rural China for the years 2000, 2001 and 2002 is investigated, taking a dynamic view and using a large sample covering 22 provinces. Based on the National Bureau of Statistics' low income line, almost one-third of the ethnic minorities experienced poverty during the three years studied while the corresponding proportion among the ethnic majority was only about half as high. Still, by far most of the poor in rural China belong to the ethnic majority. The relatively high poverty rates for ethnic minorities in rural China are found to be due to higher rates of entry than for the majority, while differences in exit rates across ethnicities are few. To a large extent, ethnic poverty differences can be attributed to differences in location, together with temporary and persistent poverty in rural China having a very clear spatial character. Poverty is concentrated in the western region and villages with low average income. Determinants of persistent and temporary poverty in rural China differ due to location as well as household characteristics.
