Abstract: Base on the CHNS 1991 to 2011 data,we use income mobility theory and tools to analyze the intergenerational income mobility of Chinese households.We also build a Gini index decomposition model to study the effect of intergenerational income mobility on long-term income inequality of Chinese households.The empirical study results show that since the beginning of2000s,the decreasing in intergenerational income mobility causeds the worsening income distribution.However this trend has been reversed in recent years,because of the improvement of intergenerational income mobility.The decline of long-term income inequality among the Chinese households has been visible over the past few years.
