Abstract

Poverty has always been the development priority in China. Sichuan, a key target of national poverty alleviation and reduction, is vital for the overall poverty alleviation across China. Based on the data of poverty-stricken counties in Sichuan from 2013 to 2017, this paper employs multiple linear regression model to analyze the factors affecting residents' saving deposit balance. Results show that the proportion of working population in the secondary industry and the tertiary industry, per capita oil production, the proportion of fixed-line telephone significantly sway the saving deposit of residents. Relevant policy suggestions are also proposed based on the results.
