What is the income standard of the middle class in China?

Annual household income1.1.5,000 to $43,000, that is, groups with annual household income of 80,000 to 300,000 yuan.

There are three criteria for dividing the middle class:

First, the division of the middle class in China:

According to the per capita GDP and purchasing power, the National Bureau of Statistics concluded that the annual income of middle-class families is between 600,000 and 500,000 RMB.

In China, the wealth of the middle class is over-allocated in real estate, reaching 79.5%, while the proportion of financial assets is too low, only 10.8%.

Heather said: "Now there are about 220 million people in Asia (excluding Japanese) who belong to the affluent middle class, and more than half of them live in China. This means that a quarter of the rich middle class in the world can speak Chinese. This is a testimony to the rapid rise of China, and it will also have a far-reaching impact on the global financial market.

Second, the division of the American middle class:

As far as income is concerned, American families with an average annual income of $300,000 to $200,000 can be considered to belong to the middle class. It is estimated that about 80% of Americans belong to the middle class.

Three. Indian standard

Any family with an average annual after-tax income of 33,750 rupees to 654,380,500 rupees (about 700-3,000 dollars) can be regarded as a middle-class family.

Generally speaking, the middle class is at the middle level of the present society, regardless of its economic status, political status or social and cultural status. This is a seemingly clear but vague definition.

Basic definition

The middle class (or middle class) refers to the class (or stratum) where people's low-level "physiological needs and security needs" are met, and the middle-level "emotional needs and respect needs" are also well met, but they do not pursue high-level "self-realization needs"; Because the family is the cell of society, most people's wealth is owned by the family, so the middle class is mainly composed of "middle class families".

The middle class, mostly engaged in mental or technical manual labor, mainly depends on wages and salaries to make a living, generally well educated, with professional knowledge and strong professional ability and corresponding family consumption ability; Have a certain amount of leisure time, pursue the quality of life, and generally have certain management and control over their own labor and work objects. At the same time, most of them have good civic moral consciousness and corresponding cultivation. In other words, from the perspective of economic status, political status and social and cultural status, they all live in the middle class of society at this stage.

The middle class (or middle class) is the cornerstone of social stability; Whether an "olive-shaped" social structure with the middle class as the main body can be formed is an important foundation for the stable development of a country or region and a prerequisite for achieving high-quality democracy. The second generation is the main source of high-tech talents in developed countries all over the world (the first generation mostly missed the era of innovation for its own development; Rich second generation, mostly just want to enjoy, lack of enterprise).

The main sources of the middle class are the children of the middle class with normal education and ability development (more than the second generation), some "poor second generation" with good education and strong professional ability, and a few "rich second generation" who return to poverty.

The main obstacle to the development of the middle class: the social system in some countries has hindered the upward passage of the children of the poor class and solidified the social class.
