ABSTRACT
In this chapter, the study on distribution of national income is correlated with that on the stages of economic development, especially with that on industrialization. By the use of the experience of change in the proportion of residents’ income in Japan, South Korea, and China Taiwan in their industrialization, the chapter summarizes the general rules of change in residents’ income in different stages of industrialization and judge the rationality for the existence of the change in the proportion of residents’ income in China’s industrialization. It provides the basis and space-time quantity standard for improvement of national income distribution pattern. In industrialization, the initial proportions of residents’ income of South Korea and China Taiwan were low, with a slow or rapid increase in the early stage of industrialization. The biggest difference between China’s proportion of residents’ income and that of Japan, South Korea, and China Taiwan was that China’s initial proportion of residents’ income was higher.
