Education Investment and Rural Income Disparity: A Perspective of Rural Revitalization Strategy

Abstract

This study focuses on the impact of education investment on rural income disparity in the context of the rural revitalization strategy. In recent years, with the country’s emphasis on issues relating to agriculture, rural areas, and farmers, the rural revitalization strategy has emerged as a crucial measure to promote rural development. However, rural income disparity continues to be one of the key factors constraining rural revitalization. Education, serving as a vital pathway for enhancing human capital and fostering social equity, plays a significant role in narrowing rural income disparity. Through literature review, comparative studies, descriptive research, and other methodologies, this study conducts a thorough analysis of the specific impact mechanism of education investment on rural income disparity and proposes policy recommendations aimed at strengthening rural education investment and promoting rural revitalization. The research findings will offer practical guidance regarding the roles and responsibilities of governments, societies, and markets in rural education investment, thereby facilitating the effective implementation of the rural revitalization strategy.
