Abstract

China’s rapid economic growth is accompanied by an aging population and rising income inequality. Although both developed and some developing countries are faced with the challenge of population aging, but the transmission mechanism of aging-to-income inequality has been lacking. With Gini coefficient as measurement of the income inequality, and use the provincial level panel data of China from 1995-2016, the paper confirms the empirical relationship between aging and inequality, an econometric model will be used to prove that aging has a significant impact on income inequality in China.
