China has unveiled reform guidelines on income distribution amid growing public concerns over a widening wealth gap.
The guidelines encourage further work to improve the initial distribution system and enhanced efforts to build a redistribution adjustment mechanism, said a statement from the State Council, which declared approval and transfer of the guidelines on February 5.
The guidelines call for a more transparent, fairer and reasonable income distribution order, the statement said. They stress the need to build and upgrade a sustainable mechanism to promote farmers' incomes.
China is aiming to double its 2010 gross domestic output and per-capita income for both urban and rural residents by 2020, according to a report released at the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China held last November. |
