Data on poverty relapse rates and impoverished households' income stability will figure in evaluations of provincial districts' poverty alleviation efforts in 2017, according to a senior official from the State Council Leading Group Office of Poverty Alleviation and Development.

Lei Ming, director of the Institute on Poverty Research at Peking University, said the reasons for impoverishment vary across households and regions, and "the complexity requires a system that can guarantee the accuracy of its evaluation".
