The Coupling and Coordination of the Quality of the Impoverished Population and Economic Development in Western China——Based on the Improved Entropy-coupling Model

This paper focus on the impoverished population with filing cards of Yunnan Province, Western China, to measure the level of coupling and coordination of population quality and economic development effectively, by establishing a comprehensive evaluation indicator system for population quality and economic development with the improved entropy-coupling coordination degree model. The results show that the quality of the impoverished population is higher than the comprehensive score for economic development in most areas of Yunnan Province, Western China, which means that the economic development lags behind the quality of the population. Meanwhile, the coupling degree in most areas reached a higher level, while the coupling coordination degree is generally lower. Therefore, it still needs to continuously promote regional economic development through measures such as industrial poverty alleviation, industrial structure adjustment, living environment improvement, and tourism poverty alleviation, thereby boosting the improvement of population quality.
