Study on Countermeasures to Reduce Income Disparity between Cities And Rural Areas

The success of rural reform increased peasant's income rapidly in the 1980s, which had once narrowed the urban-rural income gap. Since the later 1990s, the growth rate of rural income began to drop, while urbanite's income relatively increased quickly, which apparently widened the Urban-rural income gap greatly. Some speculation notes that the urban-rural income gap has been the first factor contributing to the income gap and its function rate is about 60%. So I consider that the study of narrowing the urban-rural income gap is especially distinguished. From the conditions and reasons of the urban and rural residents' income gap, this article focused on offering some countermeasures of narrowing the urban-rural income gap.
