“…As a result, the self-rated health of the rural households may be impacted. The results support both hypothesis 1 and earlier research, which is consistent with previous findings [ 17 ]. Due to a mix of chronic economic and life stress, a lack of resources, and subjective assessments of relative poverty, people suffer from reduced health.…”

“…Poverty increases the risk of low health through poor environment, nutrition, and risky behaviors such as smoking, alcohol, and other things [ 17 ]. However, the relationship between poverty and rural households’ self-rated health is complicated by the vicious circle of poverty, unhealthy, and low income [ 18 ].…”

“…However, the relationship between poverty and rural households’ self-rated health is complicated by the vicious circle of poverty, unhealthy, and low income [ 18 ]. Self-rated health is a valid proxy for an individual’s health status because it is a subjective metric that depends on an individual’s nuanced appraisal of his or her own entirety [ 17 , 19 , 20 ]. Poverty hinders the improvement of rural household’ self-rated health; for example, it has a negative impact on the health level [ 21 ].…”

Although absolute poverty has been eliminated in rural China, multidimensional poverty has an unstoppable impact on the self-rated health of rural households through multiple dimensions. This study constructed a moderated mediation model with multidimensional poverty as the independent variable to explore the impact on rural households’ self-rated health, social capital as a mediating variable, and family care as a moderating variable. We used the survey data of 382 sample out-of-poverty rural households in Jiangxi, China, in 2020. Our results indicated that multidimensional poverty had a detrimental impact on the self-rated health and social capital of rural households, both of which were significant at the 1% level (β = −0.751, t = −4.775, and β = −0.197, t = −7.08). A test of the mediating effect of social capital using the mediation model found the mediating effect accounting for 84.95% of the entire effect of multidimensional poverty on rural households’ self-rated health. Further, the interaction term between family care and multidimensional poverty and its beneficial effect on social capital as well as the interaction term between family care and social capital and its negative effect on rural household’ self-rated health are both statistically significant at the 1% level (β = 0.558, t = −5.221 and β = −2.100, t = −3.304). It is revealed that multidimensional poverty affects rural households’ self-rated health through social capital and that family care moderates the mediating pathway. Family care exacerbates the negative effect of multidimensional poverty on rural households’ self-rated health and weakens the beneficial effect of social capital on rural households’ self-rated health. The lower (higher) the level of family care, the more significant the positive (negative) effect of social capital on rural households’ health. Therefore, rural households should prioritize building social capital and shifting the responsibility for family care. First, through enhancing housing infrastructure and establishing cultural and educational initiatives, households can improve their viability. Second, increasing engagement in group activities will enhance social networks and boost interpersonal connections. Finally, to lessen the stress on family caregivers, building socialized care services can cover the gap in family care.

“…Las zonas rurales vacías se enfrentan a la pérdida de los servicios básicos (sanidad, educación, alimentación), porque los propios municipios tienen un presupuesto cada vez más reducido (Chen et al, 2022). En la actualidad, los hogares pobres pueden escapar de la pobreza con la ayuda del gobierno o la sociedad, algunos hogares que no son pobres también pueden caer en la pobreza como resultado de los efectos de enfermedades o desastres naturales (Burns, 2021); sin embargo, la población rural sigue manteniendo un estado desfavorable, siguen experimentando una prestación de servicios deficiente y oportunidades de empleo limitadas (FAO, 2018).…”

La investigación tuvo como objetivo explorar la percepción de la pobreza en este escenario rural, debido a que es una de las poblaciones que menos se ha beneficiado en crecimiento económico. Es una zona rural donde prevalece la pobreza, mantiene una situación de vulnerabilidad, exclusión social y falta de seguridad humana. La metodología de investigación se dirigió a un enfoque cualitativo, diseño documental y la recolección de datos se fundamentó a través de estudios publicados en revistas y espacios confiables (Scopus, SciElo, Web of Science, otros). Para el estudio, se compiló información de 20 artículos científicos referidos a la pobreza, pobreza extrema en el ámbito rural y se tomó como referencia a la comunidad rural San Damián de Huarochirí.

Infrastructure investment plays a key role in steady economic growth. Investment in infrastructure is gradually increasing; however, large-scale infrastructure investment is also associated with efficiency problems and environmental problems, which need to be carefully examined. The entropy weight method and the Super-SBM model are implemented to measure environmental regulation and infrastructure investment efficiency, respectively; and the spatial Durbin model is applied to analyze the influence mechanism and spatial effects of environmental regulation on infrastructure investment efficiency. The results show that spatial agglomeration characteristics exist in both environmental regulation and infrastructure investment efficiency. Besides, environmental regulation can promote infrastructure investment efficiency in general, but it develops an inverted U-shaped relationship as the intensity increases. Lastly, the spillover effects of environmental regulation on infrastructure investment efficiency present a U-shaped relationship. The conclusion is that both environmental regulation and infrastructure investment efficiency in China increased from 2008 to 2020. Besides, moderate environmental regulation is beneficial to infrastructure investment efficiency and restrains spatial spillover, but strict environmental regulation appears to be the opposite. This research expands the literature on environmental regulation and production efficiency and provides a reference basis for formulating effective policies to improve infrastructure investment efficiency from the perspective of the ecological environment.
