Mechanism, focus on increasing the income of low-income groups and expand middle-income groups."
"Improve the factor distribution policy system to increase the factor income of low- and middle-income groups; improve the redistribution mechanism, increase the intensity and accuracy of taxation, social security, and transfer payments; play the role of the third distribution to develop philanthropy; build The basic institutional arrangements for the coordination of primary distribution, redistribution, and three distributions promote social fairness and justice, promote the all-round development of people, and enable all people to make solid progress toward the goal of common prosperity."
How to narrow the income gap between urban and rural residents?

Liu Huanxin, Deputy Secretary of the Party Leadership Group and Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, stated that it is necessary to increase the income of farmers from four aspects to narrow the gap between urban and rural areas, namely, increase income through industrial revitalization; increase income through employment expansion; deepen reform to increase income; improve policies to increase income.
Taking the increase of income through industrial revitalization as an example, Liu Huanxin said that industrial prosperity is a prerequisite for solving all problems in rural areas, and it is also an important foundation for increasing farmers' income.
At present, farmers’ net operating income accounts for about 1/3 of farmers’ income. Industrial revitalization should be the top priority of rural revitalization, and farmers’ income should be increased by promoting high-quality development of rural industries.
In particular, we need income from high-quality agricultural products, income from the industrial chain, and income from cost reduction.
