Abstract: Through investigating the changing process of income gap between urban and rural residents in Zhejiang province from 1978 to 2010,the influencing factors of income gap between urban and rural residents were analyzed by multiple linear regression mode.The results showed that during 1978~2010,the absolute value of income gap between urban and rural residents in Zhejiang province was expanding year by year,and its amplitude of variation can be divided into four stages minimum → expanding → narrowing → expanding.Further multiple linear regression analysis showed that among selected variable indexes,the proportion of employment in the secondary and tertiary industries to total employment and the ratio of annual growth rate of non-agricultural output to annual growth rate of agricultural output had the positive influences on income gap between urban and rural residents,but the government financial support for agriculture and the total local financial expenditure ratio had the negative influences.Then,based on the above results,the strategies for narrowing income gap between urban and rural residents were discussed.
