Is farmland financial innovation narrowing the urban-rural income gap? A cross-regional study of China

Ting Li, Jing-Ya Li · 2022 · PLoS ONE

Summary. Farmland financial innovation significantly narrows China's urban-rural income gap, according to analysis of 30 provinces from 2006 to 2017. The mechanism works through two pathways: enabling permanent labor migration away from farming and upgrading rural industrial structure. The authors recommend governments promote farmland financial innovation and establish rural property rights systems to facilitate farmer mobility and reduce income inequality.
