The article examines China's urban-rural income gap and its changes over time. It looks at how income is distributed among different groups and measures the gap between urban and rural residents. The study found that the proportion of household income in China has been increasing since 2009. The gap between urban and rural incomes has been growing, but it started to decrease in 2010 and 2011. This suggests that the relationship between urban and rural areas is getting better. The next five years will be crucial for reducing the income gap between urban and rural areas.
