An Empirical Analysis on the Inter-provincial Income Inequality of Rural Residents in China——from the Perspective of Income Structure

Wang Xiaowen

Paper Summary

Wage and salary income is the main reason for this inequality, while household operation income helps reduce the gap. Income from properties and transfers is highly unequal but doesn't have a big impact on overall income inequality.
