Abstract:
This paper uses human resource theory to analyze income function and takes the ratio of income differences from both the city and country as the income gap so that the differences between schooling attainments and income gap have been analyzed. The results show that the schooling attainments can give rise of the second influence on the income and this situation can become more serious with the promotion of the schooling attainments. Accordingly, the author suggests that the competing mechanism be introduced to the labor markets so as to better the present employment, gain more from human resource investment, perfect the existing labor markets and force the mechanism to display its full role in the resource allocation and evaluation.
