Income Indicator: Inequality-Adjusted Income Index
Abstract
The core of the green development is the harmony and joint advance of “green” and “development”. The concept of the green development was proposed against the backdrop of contradiction between economic growth and resources, environment and ecology. However, that does not mean we should deny economic growth, instead, we are seeking a new economic growth mode. In a long period to come, development will remain the paramount issue around the world, and green development is all about approaching the issue in a “green” way. There are many factors reflecting and influencing a country’s development, and income is one of such factors widely accepted in the world. Comprehensive evaluation of the per-capita family disposal income can well reflect the basic reality of a country’s economic development and thus promote the green development of the mankind.
