Abstract:The poverty alleviation for women not only affects women's own development, but also plays an important role in cutting off the intergenerational transmission of poverty. It is the key to winning the fight against poverty and has been highly valued by the central government. This paper discusses the definition, characteristics, and causes of female poverty. This paper also analyzes the practice and existing problems of China's poverty alleviation policies for women, draws on the policy experiences of women's poverty alleviation in Mexico, the United States, and the European Union, and proposes suggestions on China's poverty alleviation policies for women:implementing workfare programs for poor women; increasing long-term training and education; developing socialized child care services.
