收入差距、中等收入陷阱与中国的城镇化道路

Income Gap,Middle-income Trap and China's Urbanization

跨越中等收入陷阱是未来很长一段时期中国将面对的重大课题。收入差距过大、生产效率不高是中国跨越中等收入陷阱必须直面和解决的两大难题。上述两个问题的本质是效率与公平的问题。城镇化既可以提高资源配置效率,同时也是解决城乡、地区差距的主要途径。然而我国以往的城镇化政策既不利于生产效率提高,也没有达到促进公平的政策初衷。因而,加快调整的城镇化政策对顺利跨越中等收入陷阱具有极为重要的意义。

Surmounting middle-income trap is a great issue which China will face in a long run. Wide in-come gap and low production efficiency are the two challenges that China will confront and solve in over-coming middle-income trap. The essence of these two problems is about efficiency and fairness. Urbaniza-tion not only improves the resource allocation efficiency,but also solves the problem of rural-urban and re-gional gap. However,the previous policies about urbanization neither benefit to production efficiency im-provement,nor achieve the purpose of fair promotion policy. Therefore,it＇s critical and significant forsmoothly surmounting middle-income trap to accelerate the adjustment process of urbanization policy.
