摘要
文章采用1988、1995和2002年的中国住户调查数据(CHIP),分析教育对收入分配差距的影响。研究发现,1988～2002年中国城市的教育水平提高很快,教育收益率迅速上升,教育对收入增长的贡献十分显著。但教育水平的提高的是一把"双刃剑",它扩大了不同学历的工薪阶层之间的收入差距,促使城市的基尼系数从1988年的0.235上升至2002年的0.345,而且呈现出"穷人更穷,富人更富"的马太效应。因此,作者认为,为了缩小收入分配差距,促进社会和谐,教育平等化政策势在必行。
This paper studies the issue of income inequality in China using CHIP(Chinese Household Income Project) data of 1988,1995,and 2002.The Gini coefficient has been rising from 0.235 in 1988 to 0.345 in 2002(and 0.478 in 2008).Inquiring the factors causing income disparity in urban China,we find that education endowment,measured by schooling years,has plus contribution to income growth but minus contribution to gender and regional income distribution.Our conclusion is that the factors causing poverty,unemployment and income disparity in China can be explained both by policy reason and market reason.However,as market economy is developing rapidly in China and China is integrating into the world,the market will become the main factor inducing these problems.
