China News Agency, Beijing, June 15 (Reporter Wang Enbo) For the recent social debate, "600 million people in China have a monthly income of 1,000 yuan (RMB, the same below)", Fu Linghui, spokesman of the National Bureau of Statistics 15 The Japanese responded that this statement can be confirmed from the survey data of national household income and expenditure and living conditions.
Fu Linghui said that according to the household income and expenditure survey, the sample of Chinese households can be divided into five equal parts, namely the low-income group, the lower middle income group, the middle income group, the upper middle income group, and the high income group. Each equal portion accounts for 20%. Among them, the number of households in the low-income group and the lower middle-income group accounted for 40% of all households.
He introduced that according to the relevant data in 2019, a total of 40% of the households in the low-income group and the lower-middle-income group correspond to a population of 610 million people, with an annual per capita income of 11,485 yuan and a monthly per capita income of nearly 1,000 yuan. Among them, the monthly per capita income of low-income groups is less than 1,000 yuan, and the monthly per capita income of lower-income groups is higher than 1,000 yuan.
Fu Linghui said that these data reflect China's basic national conditions. China is still the largest developing country in the world. The income level of a large number of residents in rural areas and the central and western regions is still low. The task of poverty alleviation and rural revitalization are very arduous. At the same time, it should also be noted that as China's economy continues to develop, more and more low-income and lower-middle-income groups will be converted into middle-income groups. China's domestic market has great potential and there is no end to its development. (Finish)
