At present, China's economy is changing from quantitative growth to qualitative growth, which provides an opportunity to adjust the income distribution structure of residents and narrow the gap between the rich and the poor. This paper gives a brief account of the income distribution gap between urban and rural areas, regions and industries in China since the reform and opening-up, and then points out that in the economic development of China, there are institutional constraints on population mobility, regional development strategies that do not match the regional economic situation, unreasonable tax structure and trade liberalization. The important factor of income inequality of high residents. On this basis, this paper argues that in the future, China should pay attention to maintaining the balance between economic growth and income structure adjustment, design appropriate transfer payment policies in the short term to avoid further deterioration of the gap between the rich and the poor, supplemented by structural monetary policies to stabilize economic growth, and promote factor markets in the medium and long term. Reform and supply-side reform go hand in hand to narrow the income distribution gap among residents. In the long run, we should use the "two-pronged" approach of property tax and education equalization to curb wealth inequality and ensure the liquidity of intergenerational income distribution structure, so as to ensure the long-term stability of China's economy.
