Abstract

Narrowing the urban-rural income gap is an essential pathway to promote common prosperity. Since 2012, the ratio of per capita disposable income (PCDI) between urban and rural residents in China has decreased from 2.88 in 2012 to 2.39 in 2023, indicating a further reduction in income disparity. However, the Gini coefficient remains above 0.45, indicating persistent inequality. This paper first conducts an in-depth analysis of income data for urban and rural residents released by the National Bureau of Statistics, revealing the gradual decline in the income ratio since 2012, but with a slow downward trend and a still large income gap. Then, the reasons for the large urban-rural income gap are analyzed from the perspectives of labor mobility between the three industries, differences in industrial distribution, and inequality in education and employment. Finally, this article proposes four measures, such as simplifying the procedures for rural migrant labor to access urban public services, promoting rural land system reform, advancing urban-rural education system reform, and improving mechanisms to attract high-quality talents. These methods are expected to have a beneficial impact on narrowing the urban-rural income gap.
