Abstract: After eliminating absolute poverty, China has entered the stage of relative poverty governance. The premise of relative poverty governance is to identify the relative poor. Different from the absolute poverty governance stage, relative poverty governance not only solves the “poverty” of income, but also alleviates the “predicament” of development. Therefore, the single-dimensional income standard is difficult to cope with the complex identification work of the relative poverty population. Therefore, through the analysis of the measurement standard and potential risks of rural relative poverty identification, the practical strategy of multidimensional measurement standard of rural relative poverty identification was proposed, so as to improve the aim of relative poverty identification.

Key words: rural areas, relative poverty identification, measurement standards, potential risks, practical strategies
