Study on the Rights and Interests of the Immigrant Population from Theory of Equality of Feasibility: A Case for the Three Gorges Ecological Barrier Area

Abstract

Based on the Amartya Sen’s equality theory of feasibility, this paper studies the protection of the rights and interests of the immigrants in the Three Gorges ecological barrier area. Through investigation, the demands for the rights and interests of the immigrant population and the changes of their rights and interests are further clarified, and feasible measures to cultivate their abilities are put forward: unimpeded interest demand channels to protect their own rights and interests; establishment of transparent and open economic compensation mechanism to safeguard its own economic interests; perfect public service mechanism to ensure equal enjoyment of social welfare; and good education and training mechanisms to promote viable capacity.
