BEIJING, February 4 (Xinhua) — China has seen a narrowing income gap between urban and rural residents in recent years, thanks to the country's efforts to boost rural incomes, according to official data.
The urban-rural income ratio fell to 2.31:1 in 2025, down from 2.56:1 in 2020, Han Wenxiu, head of the Office of the Central Rural Leading Group, said at a press conference on Wednesday.
In 2025, the per capita disposable income of rural residents in China will reach 24,456 yuan (about 3,517 US dollars), up 6 percent from 2024, he noted, adding that the basic living conditions of rural residents are constantly improving.
The comments came after China on Tuesday released its annual "No. 1 Document," which outlined the country's key tasks for the current year to advance agricultural and rural modernization and promote all-round rural revitalization.
Zhu Weidong, deputy head of the office, noted that stable growth in farmers' incomes remains a top priority. The country plans to strengthen rural production, stabilize migrant worker employment, and revitalize rural resources to diversify rural income sources, he added.
