Abstract

Rural poverty in China is a serious problem, which needs to be coped with urgently. Since pro-poor tourism in China has only been carried out for a short period of time, it is difficult to accurately judge the impact of young women's participation in pro-poor tourism on the intergenerational transmission through direct analysis. Therefore, this paper first analyses the main factors affecting poverty intergenerational transmission, and then analyses the impact of young women's participation in pro-poor tourism on these factors, and sums up the inhibitory mechanism of the participation of young women from Yunnan tourist region in pro-poor tourism to intergenerational transmission of poverty. The findings show that the inhibiting effect of women's participation in pro-poor tourism onto inter-generational transmission of poverty is mainly reflected in the fact that young women's participation in pro-poor tourism has changed from traditional non-family women role to income-earning professionals, which can promote the upgrading of women's occupation, increase the sources of family income and family wealth, enhance support for children's education, increase the investment in family fertility and family cultivation, thus blocking the intergenerational transmission of poverty.
