Big data is a powerful way of targeting poverty alleviation. With the help of big data, we can identify people living in poverty and clearly understand the reasons for their plight, which will help us to better implement poverty-alleviation measures.

A poverty index could be established for each poverty-stricken household, which would help to identify the worst-hit families, villages and townships, and make poverty visible.
