Features: The issue of income distribution is extremely complex and also a highly concerned topic among the general public. During the period of building and improving the socialist market economy system, we adhere to the principle of "prioritizing efficiency while considering fairness." On one hand, the overall per capita income level has been significantly improved; on the other hand, the phenomenon of "eating meat with one hand and cursing with the other" has emerged. Therefore, advancing the reform of the income distribution system is an important part of improving the socialist market economy system and building a harmonious society. The reform of the income distribution system primarily reflects the following aspects: First, it is necessary to establish the principle that labor, capital, technology, and management contribute to distribution according to their contributions, and to improve the distribution system where labor distribution is the main form, with multiple distribution methods coexisting. Second, it is essential to adhere to prioritizing efficiency while considering fairness. Third, with the goal of common prosperity, it is necessary to expand the proportion of the middle-income group and increase the income level of the low-income group. Through the reform of the income distribution system, the distribution relationship should be gradually rationalized, and efforts should be made to narrow the unreasonable income gap between residents, strictly keeping the Gini coefficient within a safe level.
