| The year 2022 will be a key year for the improvement of quality,training and reform of vocational education.It will also be a milestone year in the development of vocational education.The Report of the 20 th National Congress of the Communist Party of China took the lead in proposing to "coordinate the collaborative innovation of vocational education,higher education and continuing education".Through the organic connection and systematic integration of the three kinds of education,further optimize the type orientation of vocational education,strengthen the support for modernization construction,and lay the foundation and point out the direction for the construction of a new development pattern and high-quality development of vocational education in the future.The disparity between urban and rural income levels is not only directly related to the development of urban and rural integration,but also related to the implementation of the strategy of expanding domestic demand.In the accumulation of human capital,the financial expenditure on vocational education occupies a very important position.No matter in scale,composition or level,it is extremely beneficial to narrow the gap between urban and rural income level.Therefore,from the internal logic,the financial expenditure on vocational education is related to the gap between urban and rural income level.Now,in the process of initial distribution and redistribution,our income distribution system not only focuses on efficiency,but also pays more attention to fairness.However,when the economy is on the fast track of development,the gap between urban and rural income levels is widening.In 2022,urban disposable income has been 2.45 times that of rural residents.The disparity in income between urban and rural areas is not conducive to the opening of the rural consumer market,nor is it conducive to the adoption of a mutually reinforcing development strategy of internal and external cycles,and even more detrimental to economic and social development.Therefore,narrowing the urban-rural income gap and keeping it within a reasonable range is an urgent problem to be solved at present.This paper systematically combs the relevant theories,and on this basis,analyzes how the expenditure of financial vocational education will affect the income gap between urban and rural areas from the theoretical perspective.In the concrete demonstration link,using the panel data of 31 provinces and cities for a total of 10 years from 2011 to 2020,the fixed effect model is used for regression research.The final result shows that: from the national level,the financial vocational education expenditure can narrow the income gap between urban and rural areas,and the whole region is divided into east,middle and west,with prominent regional differences.Investment in vocational education in western and eastern regions can significantly narrow the urban-rural income gap,but not in central regions.In addition,the degree of opening to the outside world,the level of economic development,the birth rate will obviously affect the urban-rural income gap.Finally,the paper puts forward four suggestions : moderately expanding the scale of fiscal expenditure on vocational education,strengthening the differentiated transfer payment system of the government,developing industries according to local conditions to promote economic development,and taking multiple measures to build a childbearing friendly society. |
