This paper studies China's non-wage income structure and its inequality pattern, basing on the China Health and Nutrition Survey(CHNS). We find that non-wage income difference occupies a notable proportion of the total income gap, as its inequality goes up more rapidly than wage income, it has became the most important source of different ownership departments' income inequality. Using the method of panel data model and logit model, we estimate the earning equations of different types of non-wage incomes. The result shows that education, age and occupation do not have notability influence on most types of non-wage incomes, and ownership is the decisive factor of state-owner sector's non-wage income growth. As a result, the state-owner sector's income distribution reform should pay more attention to non-wage income.
