In addition, the per capita disposable income of residents in Gansu Province in 2025 is 28224 yuan, temporarily ranking last in the country. The stable growth of wage income, net operating income, and net transfer income is the main supporting factor for residents' income growth. ”Zhang Yi, Director of the Household Survey Department of the National Bureau of Statistics, pointed out that in 2025, the policy of stabilizing employment will continue to be strengthened, and the overall employment situation in the country will be stable. The per capita wage income of residents will be 24555 yuan, an increase of 5.3% over the previous year, which is 0.3 percentage points faster than the growth rate of national residents' income. Looking at urban and rural areas, the per capita wage income of urban and rural residents increased by 4.5% and 6.1% respectively. Driven by the favorable production and operation situation of the service industry, the per capita net operating income of residents in China was 7252 yuan, an increase of 5.0% over the previous year, which was on par with the growth rate of residents' income nationwide. Looking at urban and rural areas, the per capita net operating income of urban and rural residents increased by 5.6% and 4.6% respectively. Under the influence of various policies to ensure people's livelihood, the per capita net transfer income of residents in China was 8080 yuan, an increase of 5.7% over the previous year, which was 0.7 percentage points faster than the growth rate of national residents' income. Various regions have further increased their efforts to provide policy based subsidies for residents, with a total increase of 17.8% in per capita social assistance and subsidies, policy based living subsidies, and agricultural subsidies compared to the previous year. The per capita net income of residents in China was 3490 yuan, an increase of 1.6% over the previous year, of which the per capita net income from the transfer of contracted land management rights rent increased by 4.8%. Regional growth is becoming more balanced. In terms of growth rate, the income growth momentum of central and western provinces such as Xizang, Xinjiang, Gansu, Ningxia, Henan is good, and the growth rate ranks first in the country. This reflects that under the promotion of regional coordinated development strategy, the pace of increasing income for residents in the central and western regions has accelerated, and the relative gap with the developed eastern regions is showing a converging trend. The income gap between urban and rural areas continues to narrow, and the effectiveness of rural revitalization is evident. According to the data, when divided by urban and rural areas, the per capita disposable income of urban residents in 2025 is 56502 yuan, a nominal increase of 4.3% compared to the previous year, and a real increase of 4.2% after deducting price factors; The per capita disposable income of rural residents was 24456 yuan, a nominal increase of 5.8% over the previous year, and a real increase of 6.0% after deducting price factors. The nominal and actual growth rates of rural residents' income are 1.5 and 1.8 percentage points faster than those of urban residents, respectively. By 2025, the income ratio between urban and rural residents will decrease from 2.34 in the previous year to 2.31, narrowing the relative income gap between urban and rural residents. Experts point out that since the 14th Five Year Plan, China's new urbanization and rural revitalization have been promoted in coordination, and the flow of urban and rural factors has become more smooth. Rural residents have shown impressive performance in terms of operating income, especially in the tertiary industry, with an increase of 9.8%. New formats such as rural tourism and rural e-commerce have become important channels for farmers to increase their income. Zhang Yi emphasized: "Overall, the growth of residents' income and consumption expenditure remained stable throughout the year, but it should be noted that residents still face pressure to increase their income, and the growth rate of residents' consumption expenditure has slowed down. In the next stage, we need to continue to solidly ensure people's livelihoods, increase support for stable employment policies, promote sustained growth in residents' income, and further unleash residents' consumption potential
