在现阶段,中国的收入差距主要表现为城镇居民、地区之间、不同行业和城乡居民之间。由于城乡居民收入差距涵盖了全社会所有成员,存在时间最长;行业间的收入差距又集中在城市不同行业间,在一定程度上可以归并到城镇居民收入之中;中国城市人口高度集中在东部地区,农村人口集中在中西部地区,城区差距实际上也就主要表现为城乡收入差。因此,研究中国现阶段的收入差距最主要的是城乡居民收入差距。 At this stage, the income gap in China is mainly manifested as urban residents, regions, industries and urban and rural residents. As the income gap between urban and rural residents covers all members of the whole society, it has the longest existence time; the income gap between industries is concentrated in different industries of cities, which can be incorporated into the income of urban residents to a certain extent; the urban population in China is highly concentrated in the east Areas and rural population are concentrated in the central and western regions. In fact, the urban-rural gap mainly shows the difference between urban and rural areas. Therefore, the study of China’s current income gap is the most important income gap between urban and rural residents.
