Income Per Capita
In 2007, the government speeded up
efforts in its “Go West”
program to spread industrialization to the more rural West of China and
to promote infrastructure development outside the Eastern coastal
areas. The new goal
came in an announcement of top official in Beijing on October 12,
2008.
Per capita rural disposable income in 2007 was 4,140 Yuan ($605). This was a year-on-year gain of 9.5 percent in real terms. A rise of at least 6 percent is expected in 2008 according to a government report issued in March 2008. The rural population that is trapped in absolute poverty was reduced to 15 million last year, down from 250 million in 1978. |
