Research on the Impact of Resource Allocation on the Living Standards of Residents in Impoverished Areas

Abstract

Resource allocation is the core lever for adjusting regional development gaps and improving the living standards of residents in poverty-stricken areas. This article is based on the background of the connection between poverty alleviation and rural revitalization, focusing on the five resource dimensions of education, healthcare, infrastructure, industrial support, and public services. Through literature research, policy analysis, and quantitative empirical methods (two-way fixed effects multiple linear regression model), empirical induction is used to explore their impact mechanisms on residents' income, quality of life, and development opportunities. Research has found that balanced resource allocation determines the foundation for the survival and development of residents in poverty-stricken areas. Investment in education and industry resources enhances long-term income generating capacity, optimization of healthcare and infrastructure reduces living costs and risks, and improvement of public services narrows the urban-rural gap. There are still problems in poverty-stricken areas, such as insufficient precision in resource allocation, poor flow of urban and rural resources, and incomplete mechanisms for diversified investment. This article proposes precise matching of needs, building a diversified investment system, and strengthening policy guarantees, providing practical references for improving residents' living standards and promoting comprehensive rural revitalization.
