Abstract

This paper mainly discusses issues about what influence the development of digital financial inclusion has on the China’s rural-urban income gap, through utilizing and analyzing relevant data from Peking University’s Digital Inclusion Index and the China Statistical Yearbook. The results show that the development and advancement of digital financial inclusion can significantly improve the income disparities between urban and rural areas. The coefficient remains significant even after controlling the regional-level variables. Thus, the digital financial inclusion should be vigorously developed, and the idea of shared development needs to be valued and advocated, aiming to reduce the urban-rural income gap, and improve social security, citizens’ well-beings and sense of security.
