Title:Income Concentration in China: What Role for Education?
Abstract: The paper aims to analyze the relationship between income concentration and
inequality in education in China for the period 1989-2006. We first estimate the
association between individual attributes and income over time and, then, calculate the
contribution of education and its distribution to income concentration.
We find that education has become the bulk of income concentration and that
the pace of equalizing reforms should be accelerated, since the improvements in terms of
educational equality are at risk to be counterbalanced by the fast growth of its importance
in determining income distribution
