The current situation of social inequality in China

บทคัดย่อ

This article focuses on studying and analyzing the issue of inequality in China across various dimensions, including society, education, income, employment, access to public health services, technology, economy, and politics. It highlights the causes of inequality, such as the unbalanced economic development between urban and rural areas, disparities in education and income, and challenges arising from policies like the One-Child Policy and the household registration system (Hukou). The article also discusses the Chinese government's efforts to reduce inequality through economic and social policy reforms, particularly the 14th Five-Year Plan and the "Common Prosperity" policy, which emphasize income redistribution, infrastructure development, and improving the quality of life for rural populations.
The analysis reveals that despite China's tremendous economic success over the past decades, inequality remains a significant issue that impacts the stability and sustainability of Chinese society in the long term. The author suggests that a development approach focusing
on quality over quantity, along with establishing balanced support systems between urban and rural areas, could help reduce inequality and foster social stability in the future.
