中国农村居民收入流动性的实证研究

An Empirical Study of Rural Residents' Income Mobility in China

收入流动性在一定程度上代表机会公平,通过采用1989年至2009年CHNS数据对中国农村居民收入流动性的强弱进行考察后发现:中国农村居民收入流动性呈现下降趋势;中国农村中间阶层更易向下流动,更易跌入社会的底层,而难以跻身于高收入阶层;受教育年限、年龄等因素对收入流动性有着重要影响。因此,政府应在完善劳动力市场、增加教育支出、加大对中西部地区的财政支持力度等方面采取有效措施,以提高收入流动性,改善收入不平等这一现状。

Income mobility represents opportunity equality to some extent. Based on China Health and Nutrition Survey( CHNS) data from 1989 to 2009,this paper analyses the influential factors of income mobility in rural China. The study shows the income mobility decreases in rural China and the middle class in rural China is easy to flow down to the low class rather than high class. The span and age of receiving education significantly influence income mobility in rural China. Therefore,the government should take some effective measures in the improvement of job market,the money for education,the expansion of financial support to mid-west areas to increase income mobility and lessen income inequality.
