Abstract
The interaction between urban-rural income gap and wealth gap in China has widened the gap between urban and rural areas. And the social security system should have alleviated poverty and narrowed the gap between urban and rural areas. However, the "dual" social security system in China is not in line with the current economic restructuring and the "three-element" population structure. The rural social security system lacks or makes the gap between urban and rural areas rich and poor get bigger. Only by establishing the appropriate social security system for each of the "three-yuan" population in China can the current problems be solved. Therefore, improving the social security system is an effective way to reduce the gap between urban and rural areas in China.
