Increasing the income of rural residents and accelerating rural industrialization are among the priorities of the Chinese government. Human capital, especially education, plays an important role in this process. The premise, however, is that the labor market functions well; to be specific, human capital should be awarded in the market, which in turn may serve as an incentive to promote the accumulation of human capital.
