It has been officially acknowledged that the income gap is a bit too big in the country’s urban areas.
    An official document on Sunday says that the income disparity, to a considerably large extent, results from irrational distribution of social wealth. To illustrate the irrational distribution, the document mentions two perspectives. First, income disparity between different industries has enlarged dramatically in recent years, as some of them made bigger profits using their monopoly status. Second, the income gap between the managerial staff and ordinary staff workers has also been widening.
    In these two cases, some policies adopted during the reform process were to blame because these policies allowed state-owned sectors that use their monopoly status to make big profits to distribute a large share of the profit among their workers.
    It was also unfair to allow the managerial level staff to have much higher salary than ordinary staff workers within some state-owned enterprises and institutions.
    In addition, some urban workers get extra income by doing business beyond their regular jobs using the power or social connections they have established in their professions, which usually involve rare resources. This easily leads to corruption and unfair competition.
    Whatever the reasons, the big income disparity will exert negative impact on the country’s economic and social development.
    It is fairly understandable that low-income residents harbor some grievances against their high-income counterparts. They may even develop a complaint against the government and social system.
