Analysis of poverty and developing anti-poverty policy from the multi-dimensional, that has important theoretical and practical significance for poverty reduction in Hubei. In this paper, four dimensions(education, health, living standards and income) and 11 indicators have been adopted to measure the incidence of poverty in Hubei. As a result, in Hubei poor families, years of education, health insurance, health, cooking fuel, drinking water are the highest poverty indicators, and higher than income poverty. In addition, the data shows that the difference in poverty between female-headed and male-headed households is not obvious; and the city multi-dimensional poverty rate is rising faster than the rural. We recommend that the anti-poverty focus of Hubei should been shifted from income to education and health antipoverty education and health,and the multi-dimensional poverty in urban could not be ignored.
