Abstract: Through empirical research of urban residents’ income, changes of the income gap and the transformation of income structure in China, this paper finds that since Reform and Opening-up, China has witnessed a continual increase in urban residents’ income, with income gap widening, and the income structure of urban residents has been transformed from ‘pear structure’ with low income group as main part to ‘olive structure’ with medium structure as main part. Concerning the causes and countermeasures of the transformation, it lies in such factors as income allocation adjustment system, deviation of economic structure, and the restraint to residents’ consumption.
