First, the report displays and analyzes social and economic situation, poverty causes and determinants in the border areas; second, evaluates the implementation of Poverty Reduction Program in Rural China (2001-2010)(PRPRC) in the borer areas; third, according to advantages on natural resources had by the border areas and its contribution to the regional and national ecosystem and environment, and disproportions occurring at distributing the benefits of natural resources exploitation and compensating border residents for their sacrifices in environment protection, proposes the supportive policy profile and concrete measures for building up a steady and effective mechanism on social and economic development for the border areas. The core of the profile is to improve the share of resource exploitation benefits enjoyed by the border areas and compensate adequately the areas for their losses in sustaining ecosystem and protecting environment, and then locally capitalize these two parts of benefits, based on this process, driving the accumulation of local human capital. In the consequence, the local industrial capital structure would be optimized and therefore endogenous economic growth and social development pattern shaped.
