主　　题：Mobility Urban-rural Perspective 

摘      要：Viewed from the life cycle perspective of the rural labor force, the labor flow in the process of urbanization is happening in three stages. The first stage is seeking non-agricultural employment in rural areas; the second stage is securing the urban resident employment; the third stage is migrant workers obtaining urban household registration. This study establishes a multi-regression model of urban and rural income disparity that takes into account other control variables. The results of the model analysis show that the first stage of labor mobility can significantly narrow the income gap between urban residents and rural residents; yet the second stage of labor mobility does not expand the income gap between urban and rural areas in a significant manner; the third stage of labor mobility can substantially reduce the income gap between urban and rural areas; the combined effect of the three stages of labor mobility is substantial shrink of the income gap between urban and rural areas. However, the reality of the discrepancy between urban and rural income gap in China is not consistent with the gradually dwindled large-scale labor flow, mainly due to industrialization, urban biography of cultural and educational finance, and foreign trade expansion of urban and rural income gap.
