Abstract

The report of the 19th National Congress pointed out: “The main contradiction in Chinese society has been transformed into a contradiction between the people's growing need for a better life and the uneven development.” The expansion of the income gap between urban and rural residents has become a hot spot at home and abroad. Under the background of implementing the rural revitalization strategy, optimizing the industrial layout of ethnic areas through industrial prosperity, adjusting the industrial structure of ethnic areas, and narrowing the income gap between urban and rural residents in ethnic areas is an urgent problem we need to solve. This article is to revitalize the countryside. The industrial prosperity under the strategic background is the starting point. Firstly, the industrial structure of ethnic areas and the income gap between urban and rural residents in ethnic areas are described. Secondly, the theoretical mechanism and empirical analysis of the role of industrial structure on the income gap between urban and rural residents are analyzed. The results show that the optimization and upgrading of the industrial structure in ethnic areas, the improvement of the level of opening up, the improvement of urbanization rate and the improvement of government intervention have effectively inhibited the expansion of the income gap between urban and rural residents, but the level of regional economic development has intensified the income gap between urban and rural residents the ethnic areas. Finally, put forward targeted suggestions.
