{{Main article|Income distribution in China}}
China is one the fastest growing economies in the world since its reform policies in late 1970s. However, this phenomenon is often accompanied by an increase in income inequality. China's Gini coefficient has risen from 0,31 to 0,491 between the years 1981 and 2008. The main reason for China's high Gini coefficient is an income gap between rural and urban household. The share of the urban–rural income gap in total income inequality increased by 10 per cent over the period 1995–2007, rising from 38 to 48%.<ref>Shi, L., & Renwei, Z. (2011). Market reform and the widening of the income gap. Social Sciences in China, 32(2), 140-158.</ref> In China, constraints on migration limit the extent to which rural residents can move to urban areas in search of higher incomes and thereby reduce the urban–rural income gap. Although the urbanization rate has more than doubled in last 50 years, the prosses is still decelerated by various institutional and social barriers. As a result the share of national income of China's top 10% wealthiest people is 41%.<ref>{{cite web |url= https://sccei.fsi.stanford.edu/china-briefs/rise-wealth-private-property-and-income-inequality-china |title= The Rise of Wealth, Private Property, and Income Inequality in China |last= |first= |date= |website= |publisher= |access-date= |quote=}} </ref>
