据国家统计局课题组统计显示,居民收入差距扩大导致购买力向少数人过度集中。近几年城乡居民收入差距不断扩大,已超过改革开放初期水平。2000年城镇居民人均可支配收入为6248元,农村居民纯收人为2253元,城镇居民人均可支配收入是农村居民人均纯收入的2.8倍,差距倍数比上年扩大了15个百分点。由于城乡居民收入差距的扩大,直接影响城乡居民购买力的强弱,城乡居民生活消费支出比率由1999年的2.93:1扩大到2000年的2.93:1。住户调查资料显示,城镇居民内部收入差距扩大。 Statistics from the National Bureau of Statistics Task Force show that the widening income gap has resulted in over-concentration of purchasing power in the minority. In recent years, the income gap between urban and rural residents continues to expand, has exceeded the initial level of reform and opening up. In 2000, the per capita disposable income of urban residents was 6,248 yuan, while the net income of rural residents was 2,253 yuan. The per capita disposable income of urban residents was 2.8 times of the net income of rural residents per capita. The gap widened 15 percentage points over the previous year. Due to the widening income gap between urban and rural residents, which directly affects the purchasing power of urban and rural residents, the ratio of urban and rural residents’ living expenses increased from 2.93: 1 in 1999 to 2.93: 1 in 2000. Household survey data show that the income gap between urban residents expanded.
