Abstract Based on the provincial panel data of 2000-2010,the paper explores the impact of public transfer income on the inner inequality in rural China by means of GE index and decomposition methods for diversified income. It shows that public transfer income as one of the most important ways of income re-allocation,actually has no obvious impacts on reducing the inequality for rural population,and has no positive impacts on reducing the inequality between rural and urban areas. The main reasons include the comparative shortage of government’s financial transfer for rural areas and uneven allocation of transfer in rural people. Wage income is now the main determinant of rural inner inequality. Finally the paper gives some related policy recommendations such as increasing the financial transfer for rural areas and poverty population,meantime improving the effectiveness of policy implementation.
