Assessing the impact of public transfer payments on the vulnerability of rural households to healthcare poverty in China

Table 2 Compare the vulnerability and incidence of health care poverty in 2014, 2016, and 2018

Main statistics	The Year 2014		The Year of 2016		The Year of 2018
Multidimensional poverty threshold (k%)	k = 30%	k = 40%	k = 30%	k = 40%	k = 30%	k = 40%
Incidence of multidimensional poverty in health care (R^c)	38.62%	9.85%	40.32%	11.66%	44.27%	17.60%
Health care experts poverty vulnerability (Poverty line = $1.9, 𝑘=30%)	93.08%		92.09%		50.78%
Health care experts poverty vulnerability (Poverty line = $3.2, 𝑘=30%)	96.28%		96.02%		57.13%

Note: k = 30 % , k = 40% represent the threshold for setting multidimensional poverty is 30 and 40%, respectively. The incidence of multidimensional poverty R^c indicates the proportion of poor households $\left({f}_{\mathrm{m}}^{\mathrm{c}}\right)$ in the year understudy to the total sample size of households (i), and the formula is: ${R}^c=\frac{\sum_{m=1}^i{\delta}_m\left(k,\gamma \right)}{i}=\frac{f_m^c}{i}$
