THE IMPACT OF ECONOMIC GROWTH IN THE BORDER AREAS ON POVERTY REDUCTION OF ETHNIC MINORITY COMMUNITIES IN THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINOUS REGION

Abstract

The Northern mountainous region has a relatively large border area and borders China and Laos. In
recent years, although this area has been specially invested
and developed by the Party and State, in general, it is still
poor, facilities are out of date, and people's lives are still
difficult. The region's biggest challenge today is low living
standards and high poverty; The disparity in income and
living standards between regions and population classes
tends to increase the gap; The sustainability of the trend of
increasing income and improving the lives of the population
is not high. This situation reflects the results of positive and
limited impacts of the border area economy. Therefore, the
community studies the impact of the border area economy
on the poverty reduction of ethnic minorities, thereby
proposing some solutions to enhance sustainable economic
development in this area.
