| The 16th party congress for the first time put forward the problem of raising the proportion of mid-income group, which is an important research task with theoretical and practical signification. It not only enriches and develops DengXiaoPing's theory on how to become rich collaboratively and embodies the essential requirement of important thought of "Three Represents". It is also the foundation of a stable society the propeller of developing economy, and consuming and creating impetus of advanced culture.The mid-income group is those who receive moderate income according to the income level in a certain period. Certain income level is the suitable division standard for mid-income group. The catalog of the mid-income group is a dynamic concept. In the same region of different periods or in the same period of different regions, mid-income situations are different. At present, the mid-income standard can be achieved at per capital income 10-40 thousand yuan of a family. The concrete aim to expand mid-income group is to increase the proportion of mid-income group from 18% to 40% gradually.The mid-income group exists in all walks of life. There are kinds of people at least will constitute the mid-income group in the 20 years in the future. They are scientific investors and enterprisers; accountants, engineers, architects and advanced technicians, high and middle rank intellectuals; employees in government and managers in organizations and scientific researchers; foreign enterprises and managers in such enterprises; private enterprises and people working in industry and commerce, and so on.

We should continue to guide and encourage some citizens to become rich through hard working and lawfully handle business.The key to raise the proportion of the mid-income group is to raise the low-income group's income and that of high-income group reasonably. The first distributions focus on efficiency; speed up the renovation of the stated-owned enterprises' distribution system; establish scientific and reasonable wage system; practically implement the distribution policy of combination of mainly distributing by labor and also distributing by essential factors; safeguard farmers' legal rights and raise their income.
