我国居民财富分布“金字塔”及其国际比较

The Pyramid of Wealth Distribution in China and An International Comparison

当前我国居民财富分布不平等,呈现为'金字塔'结构,'金字塔'底座是拥有少量财富但人口占绝大多数的低产阶层,'金字塔'中端是人口和财富均有一定规模的中产阶层,'金字塔'上层是人口少数却拥有大量财富的富裕阶层。将中国居民财富分布置于国际环境比较,可见中国既是21世纪财富增长最快的国家,也是财富差距拉大最快的国家。财富不平等是社会发展的隐患,我国社会发展要避免两极分化,应适当借鉴国际经验,加强财富调节税制,促进财富公平和共同富裕。

The distribution of wealth in recent China looks like a pyramid. The large base of the pyramid is comprised of low wealth—holders who are the bulk of the population. The middle segment covers a certain proportion of the middle class with considerable amount of wealth. In contrast, the very top of the pyramid contain a small number of the upper class who hold enormous wealth. The international comparison shows that China has enjoyed the fastest growth in wealth but also experienced the most rapid widening of wealth gap. Wealth inequality is a hidden trouble of social development. China should draw on successful practice from other countries to build a wealth-adjustment tax system so as to narrow the gap between rich and poor and avoid polarization.
