中国省际间农民收入差距的考察

Investigations on Disparity in Farmers' Income in Different Provinces of China

区域间农民收入差距由来已久。我国自改革开放以来，省际间的经济发展水平和农民的收入水平都在不断地发生分化，其基本特征是：高收入区和低收入区的省份和比重扩大；中间收入区省份的数量和比重缩小；收入上升型省份主要分布在东部工业发达地区，收入下降到省份主要分布在西部工业落后地区。由于这种收入上升和下降的嬗变，使得工业发达地区和工业不发达地区同时呈现出省际间农民收入差距的较大波动，二者相比，工业发达地区的省际间农民收入差距的波动更大，这说明工业的发达程度对农民的收入有决定性的作用。因此，缩小区域间农民收入差距的最基本举措是大大加快西部地区的城市化进程。

Disparity in farmers's income in different regions is of long standing. Since the reform and opening of our country, level of economic development and level of farmers'sincome in different provinces are becoming divided. The feature is: the number and proportion of high income provinces and low income provinces become enlarged while the number and proportion of medium income provinces become smaller; the provinces with rising income level are mainly located in industrially advanced region in the east while the provinces with the falling income level are mainly located in industrially backward region in the west. Because of the transmutation of rising and falling income, disparity in farmers' income in both industrially advanced and backward regions fluctuates. comparing the two, we find disparity in farmers' income in different provinces of industrially advanced region fluctuates more greatly, which shows that the degree of industrial development has decisive function on farmers' income. Therefore, the most fundamental measure to narrow the disparity in farmers' income in different regions is to speed up the process of urbanization in the west.
