Abstract
Urbanization is the main way to narrow the income gap between urban and rural areas and increase the income of farmers and herdsmen. Firstly, it analyzes the dynamic evolution process of urbanization and income of farmers and herdsmen in Inner Mongolia, and theoretically explores the relationship between them. Secondly, the empirical study of the income level of farmers and herdsmen is carried out, and the financial development level is used as the threshold. The results show that there is a nonlinear relationship between urbanization and the income of farmers and herdsmen, and further through urbanization and financial development. In addition, the level of regional economic development and the convenience of transportation have significantly increased the income of farmers and herdsmen. The financial support for agriculture has an insignificant role in promoting the income of farmers and herdsmen. The level of agricultural mechanization has a significant negative effect. Finally, from the four aspects of urbanization quality, financial development efficiency, financial support for agriculture and the construction of agricultural and animal husbandry infrastructure, the countermeasures and suggestions are put forward to ensure that urbanization becomes the continuous driving force for the income of farmers and herdsmen.
