Features: The issue of national income distribution is essentially the question of how the interests of various sectors are divided. It is the starting point and ultimate goal of economic system reform, involving all aspects of social and economic life. Over the past 20 years, it has been a focus of both the theoretical and practical communities. This book is based on the premise of factor participation in distribution and the inclination of income distribution towards individual ownership, providing a comprehensive description of the current status of factor ownership among three parts—government, enterprises, and individuals—in China during the transition period. It objectively analyzes the basic structure of primary and secondary income distribution in China today, draws on relevant economic theories and international experience, and explores to a considerable extent the trends in property distribution and income distribution under China's socialist market economy system.
