Abstract
Over the past 30 years, impressive and sustained economic development has transformed China from one of the world’s poorest countries into the second largest national economy. But growth has come at the price of a widening income gap: China’s Gini coefficient of family income distribution increased from 0.3 in the early 1980s to 0.49 in 2008 (Sicular, 2013).
