An Analysis of the Relationship between the Population Aging and Urban-Rural Income Inequality in Hebei Province from the Perspective of Redistribution
Redistribution,as an important tool for regulating income distribution,plays an important role in achieving the goal of common prosperity.As a populous province,Hebei Province's growing population aging has had a significant impact on economic and social development and urban-rural income.Research finds that the popu-lation aging in Hebei Province has widened the urban-rural income gap and exacerbated the urban-rural income in-equality,and especially in second-tier and large-scale cities,the urban-rural income inequality effect of aging is more prominent.On the other hand,economic growth,as the driving force for"expanding the cake"and"distrib-uting the cake well",can effectively hedge the negative impact of population aging on urban-rural income distribu-tion inequality,while the technological progress forced by the aging population has to some extent exacerbated in-come inequality between urban and rural areas.Therefore,in order to accelerate the process of promoting common prosperity in Hebei Province,it is not only necessary to make bigger"wealth cake",but also to enable all mem-bers of society to share the"economic cake".
