Then, the Gini coefficient G can be expressed as: G = A/(A+B).10 The larger the
coefficient, the higher the income inequality. Our results appear to be consistent with the
results of Khan et al. (1999), which revealed an urban Gini coefficient of 0.332 for an
urban region consisting of eleven provinces. Our estimates are for the whole nation, but it
comprises only households headed by elderly.

4.2. Income and education
As described in the previous section rural households are far less educated than their urban
counterparts. In a changing Chinese economy where progressively more income is
generated by non-farm employment, illiterate or less educated households will be at a
disproportionate disadvantage.
“Over half of rural income is now earned outside of farming, so returns to off-farm
employment are rightly viewed as major determinants of income inequality.” (Benjamin
and Brandt, 1999, pp. 294). Therefore, one could expect more inequality in those villages
