Abstract: Against the backdrop of China's poverty reduction strategy shifting from eliminating absolute poverty to alleviating relative poverty, identifying the impact of poverty alleviation relocation on the well-being of farmers in mountainous areas can help optimize subsequent support policies, achieve effective connection between consolidating and expanding poverty alleviation achievements and rural revitalization, and achieve common prosperity. Based on survey data of farmers in Pingya Tibetan Township, Longnan Mountainous Area. After evaluation of the subjective and objective well-being of farmers before and after relocation, quantile regression analysis is used to analyze the impact of poverty alleviation relocation on the comprehensive well-being of farmers. The results showed that: Both the subjective and objective well-being of farmers have shown an upward trend after relocation. The material support provided by poverty alleviation relocation has significantly promoted the improvement of farmers' comprehensive well-being at different quantiles, and financial subsidies have significantly promoted the improvement of farmers' comprehensive well-being at 0.25 and 0.50 quantiles. The effect of employment support on the comprehensive well-being of farmers showed an inverted "U" shape change. Additionally, as the comprehensive well-being improved, the endogenous motivation of farmers also played a promoting role. However, the household dependency ratio had an inhibitory effect on the improvement of comprehensive well-being of farmers. Finally, targeted measures and suggestions were proposed to enhance the well-being of relocated farmers in mountainous areas who have undergone poverty alleviation.
