Abstract: As a main channel of accumulating human capital, Education has significant impact on income distribution. Using the quantile approach advanced by Beach for reference to establish a time series model, this paper explores the relations between rural residents’ income distribution differrence and education from its accumulation level as well as the inequality based on the data from 1993-2007 in rural. The result shows that schooling inequality may aggravate income inequality in Chinese rural. In other words, schooling equality may improve income distribution. In addition, the correlation coefficient of average schooling years and income inequality is positive. Therefore, the schooling level is still low in rural, thus, the affecting pattern of schooling on rural residents income distribution is on the left of “inverse U”. The result is significant to constitute and adjust correlative policies on Chinese rural income distribution and schooling.
