Recently, a report from Beijing Normal University has attracted widespread attention. According to the report, China has about 9The average monthly income of 6.4 billion people is less than 2,000 yuan, a figure that far exceeds many people's expectations.
On social media, we often see posts showing off our wealth, but this report has people questioning the authenticity of these displays.
According to further data from the Institute of Income Distribution at Beijing Normal University, there are 600 million people in China with a monthly income of less than 1,090 yuan, 2200 million people have a monthly income of less than 500 yuan, and even 5.46 million people have a monthly income of zero.
These data have triggered a deep reflection on the public's income disparity.
To verify these figures, we can refer to the disposable income data published by the National Bureau of Statistics. Statistics show that there are about 5The disposable income of 600 million people is less than 1,400 yuan, and 8400 million people have a disposable income of less than 2,500 yuan. Disposable income refers to the net income owned by a person, including salaries, bonuses, subsidies, operating profits, interest, bonuses, and retirement pensions.
Specific data for 2021 shows that China's total population size is 1.4 billion, and the per capita disposable income is divided into five levels. 2. of the lowest income groupThe average annual income of 800 million people is only 8,332$8, or about $694 per month. And in the high-income group of 2800 million people, whose annual disposable income is 85,8358 yuan, about 7152 yuan per month.
This means that China has 2The monthly income of 800 million people is only 694 yuan, 5600 million people have a monthly income of less than 1,370 yuan, 8The monthly income of 400 million people does not exceed 2,421 yuan,10900 million people have a monthly income of less than 3,745 yuan. The overall average, even for the highest income group, does not exceed 7,152 yuan per month.
Let's look at the situation of the peasants.
In China, the rural population is about 76.4 billion. Divide these populations into five income classes, each of which has about 15.3 billion people. The average monthly income levels from low to high are 404 yuan, 965 yuan, and 1378 yuan respectively8 yuan, 1930 yuan and 3590 yuan. This means that there are about 1The monthly income of 5.3 billion peasants is less than 404 yuan, while the monthly income of almost all rural people does not exceed 3,590 yuan.
The income of persons employed in urban non-private units is different. According to the Bureau of Statistics, at the end of 2021, the average monthly salary of this group was 8,900 yuan. However, the number of people in this group is only 1700 million, or 12% of the total population.
In contrast, the average monthly wage of employees in the private sector is 5,240 yuan. While there is some controversy over the exact number of people employed, some estimates suggest that as many as 400 million people may be employed in the private sector. If you take into account this data, then China has about 5700 million people have a salary of more than 5,000 yuan. But this contradicts the statistics office data on disposable income, which shows that there are 11 in the countryThe disposable income of 200 million people is less than 3,745 yuan.
In international comparisons, the disposable income of Chinese residents as a percentage of GDP is only 44%, which is lower than that of the United States, India, Germany, Russia and Thailand. This data reveals the relatively low income level of Chinese residents.
Overall, the income of most Chinese residents is low, which directly affects the improvement of assets** and spending power.
The key to China's transformation from a manufacturing power to a consumer country is to raise residents' incomes. According to the authors, this is not just a choice, but a necessary condition for achieving internal circulation and sustained growth in the economy.
