The influence of the gap between the rich and the poor?

1, the gap between the rich and the poor is too large, which restricts the sustainable development of China's economy.

First of all, China's overall income level is low, which has an impact on domestic demand. The disparity between the rich and the poor has aggravated the seriousness of the problem. This unbalanced wealth distribution structure has seriously weakened the total consumption capacity of society, because the consumption tendency of high-income class is low, while that of low-income class is high. The result of the excessive diversification of social income of the high-income class is that "if you have more money, you can't buy it."

Secondly, the gap between the rich and the poor makes China's wealth possession structure "pyramid".

Any social stratification system can be divided into three levels: upper level, middle level and lower level. However, the forms and structures of different social hierarchy systems are different, which can be generally divided into three types: "golden pyramid", "dumbbell" and "olive". The "pyramid" structure means that the members of the society, who account for the vast majority of the total population, are at the bottom of the tower and belong to the poor class. The dumbbell structure is big at both ends and small in the middle. In the total population of society, the rich and the poor account for the majority, but the middle class is relatively weak. Both "pyramid" and "dumbbell" social structures show obvious class or class confrontation, so they belong to unstable social structures. The so-called "olive type" means that the two ends are big and the middle is small, that is, the poor and the extremely rich only account for a small part of the social population, while the vast majority are the richer classes in the middle. The theory of social structure stratification holds that "olive type" belongs to a stable social structure. Because the middle class is in the middle state in terms of skills, functions, income and wealth, social status or power, these people in the middle state have a strong sense of identity with the dominant values of society, which has played a role in alleviating social opposition and social contradictions, thus laying the foundation for a stable social structure.

C. The gap between the rich and the poor will also aggravate the contradictions and conflicts between urban and rural economic structures.

At the beginning of reform and opening up, the economic development brought about by the reform of rural economic system narrowed the gap between urban and rural areas in history. However, since the middle and late 1980s, this gap has expanded rapidly, even greatly exceeding the beginning of reform and opening up. In recent years, increasing production in rural areas without increasing income has made this problem more prominent and intensified the structural contradictions and conflicts between urban and rural areas.

2. The gap between the rich and the poor will bring many unstable factors to the construction of a harmonious society.

At present, the gap between the rich and the poor in China has reached the second serious "yellow light" warning level. If we can't stop it as soon as possible,
