“…The existing research on sustainable livelihoods mainly refers to the spatial differentiation of livelihoods [10], the interaction between livelihood activities and ecological environment [11,12], the impact of climate change on livelihoods [13,14], the relationship between "land use evolution" and livelihood output [15,16], the impact of ecological compensation on farmers' livelihood [17,18], and the impact of rural tourism on farmers' livelihoods [19], as well as livelihood vulnerability assessment [20].…”

This paper aims to identify effective mechanisms for government poverty alleviation measures based on the livelihood sustainability of farm households in Southern Shaanxi province, China. The paper utilizes data from 414 farm households, collected through field observations and in-depth interviews in 24 rural communes in Qinba Mountain Area of Shaanxi province, China. Using theoretical research methods and employing the sustainable livelihood approach (SLA) framework, this paper analyzes poverty alleviation measures as well as the impact of varied capital availability on sustainable livelihood. The study shows that developing local industries and governmental financial support improve the sustainable livelihood of farmers and eradicate absolute poverty. The findings of this study further indicate that there is a positive correlation between poverty alleviation measures and natural and social capital for sustainable livelihood. The paper provides empirical and quantitative evidence on alleviation of poverty, and the findings will help improve the sustainability of livelihood capability of farming households. This study suggests impactful approaches to stabilizing mechanisms for poverty alleviation in rural areas over the longer term.

“…Human centricity and resilience, two of Industry 5.0's core values, have emerged as fundamental driving forces, with the Sustainable Development Goals playing a pivotal role (Xu et al, 2021). Emphasizing the role of local governments, Liao et al (2021) suggest that they should have greater authority in deciding the developmental plans of SDGs. Mauerhofer et al (2020) indicated that accomplishing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) necessitates private and public sector involvement.…”

This paper explored the relationships between the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDG) and social sustainability in supply chain management (SCM).Sustainable development is a philosophy that seeks to achieve human development goals while protecting the ability of natural systems to provide natural resources and ecosystems for all economies and societies. The desired state of society is where living conditions and resources meet human needs while preserving the integrity and stability of the natural systems. Most of the work on sustainability in SCM is on economic and environmental sustainability. Only eight papers were found that reflected social sustainability. Nevertheless, social sustainability significantly impacts supply chain management, such as employee engagement, which leads to a decrease in waste, and a shorter lead time from manufacturing locations to markets. The study is based on an analysis of bibliometric data published in the Scopus database between 1991 and 2020. This study will help researchers get new perspectives on sustainable supply chains. Societal well-being is the goal of the UN SDGs. Organizations and countries can address them by recognizing the connections between UNSDGs and SCM. This is the first study to explore the literature available on UNSDG and its relationship with supply chain management.

“…Empirical studies have evaluated the socioeconomic impacts of China's TPA strategy, most focusing on the effects of specific poverty reduction measures rather than the overall development of households. Liao et al (2021) examined whether and how solar energy-based development affected rural household well-being and found substantial challenges in precisely targeting the poor, improving their income, facilitating a transition in household use of energy, and enhancing local capacity for economic development. Guo and Wang (2021) explored how labor transfers can help the poor fight against poverty and found that they increased the per-capita livelihood capital of the remaining population and optimized the human-environment relationship.…”

The detection dilemma of marginally non‐poor households in poverty alleviation evaluation: Evidence from a linear quantile mixed model

Poverty alleviation remains one of the most pressing problems, and China has made considerable advancements toward poverty alleviation in recent years. Considering village as a random effect, this paper proposes a linear quantile mixed model to analyze the effects of household type, village type, and their interactions on household income, suggesting a test of who benefits more or less from anti‐poverty policies. Results indicate that there has been a somewhat unbalanced development between poverty‐stricken households who are scheduled to be out of poverty earlier and poverty‐stricken households who are scheduled to be out of poverty later. The imbalance is slightly different across village types. Results also show that anti‐poverty policies have been equally implemented among village types, but there is some unbalanced development of poverty‐stricken and non‐poverty‐stricken households at lower income distribution quantiles depending on village type. Previously unidentified, marginally non‐poor households are found to benefit disproportionately less from policy measures irrespective of village type.
