报告摘要:We use 2011-2015 China Household Finance Survey (CHFS) data to describe inequality of earnings, income, and wealth in China. We find high inequality of labor earnings, income, and wealth in China. We also find that the business income comprises a large share of incomes among top groups. Households with young heads tend to be rich in earnings and incomes, and their incomes are largely generated from businesses. We find that the top 1 percent income share in China in recent years is comparable to that in the United States in 1928. In 1928 the social security system was still absent in the United States. This comparison gives us hints that the high inequality level in current China is probably due to the ineffectiveness of redistribution policies in China.
