Between 50 and 55 per cent of the population resides in rural areas, where about two-thirds of the population is engaged in farming, forestry, animal husbandry and fishing. About 40 per cent of total employment in China is in rural areas.
Reform-driven economic growth, together with a well-funded national poverty reduction program, has brought about a major reduction in rural poverty in mostly the eastern provinces. The current official poverty line is less than 1$ US per person per day!!
