Abstract

This paper is concerned with the evolutionary trend of Chinese urban–rural residents’ income gap and find out its main influencing factors. Firstly, the current situation and historical evolutionary trend of urban–rural residents’ income gap in China were analyzed. The results demonstrated that since the reform and opening up in 1978, the Chinese urban–rural income gap shows the phase change characteristics: reduced—expanded—again reduced—again expanded—flattened. Then, by using the data from 1978 to 2010, multiple linear regression models were established to identify the correlation between urban–rural income gap and its influencing factors. The study proves that the urban–rural dual structure, employment structure and urbanization have positive correlation with urban–rural income gap, and there is a negative correlation between rural financial development level and urban–rural income gap.
