Research on Interpretation of Non-Agricultural Income Inequality from Perspective of Education

Based on the quantile regression method and households survey data provided by China Health and Nutrition Survey(CHNS) from 1989 to 2009,the regression results obtained with the Mincer-type equation show that the earning rate of education for low income groups is higher than that for high income groups.Through reconstructed income inequality degree measurement variables,education inequality and experience differences measurement variables,the quantile regression results from deviation model show that education helps improve the wages of low income groups,but education difference can not account for increasing income inequality.
