摘要

Abstract

One main focus of Active Social Policy ”

a new policy paradigm

is to stimu- late the poor. The capability approach has changed the old practice that focused only on the income of the poor

and turned to focus on the poor s own capability. As an an- ti-poverty approach

empowerment emphasizes the potential and ability of the poor to fix the situation independently. Using the reform of the active labor market policy in Ger- many as an example

this paper analyzes the measures adopted by developed countries to integrate the able-bodied social assistance recipients into the labor market as early as pos- sible. At the same time

taking the conditional cash transfers (CCT) and Grameen Bank as examples

the article argues that the common ground of conditional cash transfers (CCT) ” and Grameen Bank in developing countries is to stimulate the self-develop- ment ability of poor families by strengthening collective responsibility

and potentially cultivate their social capital and human capital. In the end

the paper puts forward sugges- tions on how to establish an anti-poverty policy system in China with the core of empow- ering the poor.

In Bengali, Grameen means rural . In 1972, Yunus, who studied in the United States, received his Ph.D. in economics and taught for 2 years in the Department of Economics ofActivating the Endogenous Impetus of the PoorTennessee State University, returned to Bangladesh to serve as the dean of the Departmentof Economics of Chittagong University. Faced with the poor reality that cannot be explainedto students with economic theory, he abandoned the theoretical textbook to study and un-cover the economic problems that confront the poor every day. In a rural survey conductedin 1976, he lent $27 to 42 poor villagers so that they could pay for the meager costs of mak-ing bamboo stools and avoid usury. In 1979, he founded Grameen within the state-ownedcommercial banking system and began to provide small loans for poor Bangladeshi women.On Oct. 2, 1983, Grameen Bank was officially declared independent, and its way of lendingto the poor, known as Grameen model , was self-contained. Yunus once said, povertyshould have no part in a civilized human society, and we will consign it to museums. 25. Grameen China Training Center. (for insiders). 2017(03).26.
