Along with the economical high speed growth and the personal income suddenly rise, the personal income disparity forms the tendency which unceasingly expands. Forms this kind of tendency the reason many and varied, but took the human capital one kind of shape, educates the influence which expands to the income disparity produces has been more and more remarkable.As traditional income equation ignores the association between education and ability, the use of OLS leads to error. As to how to deal with the correlation between ability and education, Griliches suggested that the family background of the individual had a significant impact on ability. Ability may come from the genetic parents. Lam and Schoeni (1993) found in Brazil, estimated return to schooling dropped by 1/4 to 1/3 when family background variables were included, reflecting that in developing countries, family background had an important impact on the return to schooling. Griliches suggested that endogenous education choice could solve the correlation between education and ability. Card (2001) summarized that many studies had focused on the impact of changes in the supply of education on the return to education. the supply of education, such as the minimum school-leaving age, school fees or school location proximity (such as home-school distance) to a certain extent influence educational choices. These factors also affect the supply of education and therefore educational choices, but there is no relationship with the individual's ability. It is common abroad to estimate the return to education by the use of instrumental variable method.Many social scientists' research indicated that the family background has the important influence to the Earnings and Returns to Schooling, But about this kind of influence real diagnosis research actually very few, but to developing nation about this question research then are less. Chinese and the Pakistan Burma is the developing nation, all has quite high income not equal, But Brazil's average education repayment quite high, but China's education repayment then quite is low. If Brazil's situation reflection general developing nation situation, exactly said Brazil is typical conforms to the developing nation two models fact. Then compares China and Brazil has the vital significance in the education repayment and the family background difference. We from the consideration education and the ability relevant question angle, the estimate method which proposed to Mincer carry on the expansion, then inspects two models facts in our country reflection situation. Real diagnosis analysis main consideration education choice family background influence, thus the family background also affects the income. Using 2,006 Jilin Province labor force statistics investigation data estimate education repayment, the analysis family background to the countryside family and the cities family education repayment influence, and the family background the direct influence which receives to the children. The estimate result indicated that, the family background has the important influence to individual income and the education repayment, the countryside mother has less influences to his/her daughter's income, does not have the relevance to his/her son's income; But the countryside father has negatively to his/her son's income, amore tremendous negative influence, the influence which receives to his/her daughter is not big. The cities father and mother's education level has the obvious direct influence to its children's personal income, Along with parents education level enhancement, to personal income influence more and more big, also is more and more remarkable. Moreover in the overall in each education level, mother's education is bigger to the personal income frontage influence. Through the research discovery, David Lam and Robert F. Schoeni points out is truly exists in the developing nation labor market second model fact in China, the family background has the important influence to individual income and the education repayment.We according to the research mentality which David Lam and Robert F. Schoeni proposed, Embarks from the microscopic individual education and the ability relevant question angle, the application microscopic economy gauging device, the research family background and the social background to the personal income and the education repayment rate influence, then inspect the second model fact in our country reflection situation. Real diagnosis analysis main consideration education choice family background influence, thus the family background also affects the income. Profits from the overseas correlation research the experience, expands education repayment rate estimate method which Mincer proposed, Based on 2,006 Jilin Province labor force sample investigation microscopic data, separately discusses the family background and the social background to the countryside inhabitant and the cities inhabitant's personal income and the education repayment different influence.After estimates indicated that, the family background has the important influence to the personal income and the education repayment, In the rural labor force market, the mother has the smaller frontage influence to the feminine labor force income and the education repayment, is not related with the masculine labor force income and the education repayment; But the father has negatively to the masculine labor force income, more tremendous negative influence, but is not big to the feminine labor force income and the education repayment influence. In the cities labor market, the father and mother's education level has the obvious influence to the cities labor force income and the education repayment, along with parents education level enhancement, to personal income influence more and more big, also is more and more remarkable, Moreover, the overall looked the cities labor force each education level, mother's education level is bigger to the cities labor force income and the education repayment frontage influence. Through the research discovery, David Lam and Robert F. Schoeni points out truly exists in the developing nation labor market second model fact in China, the family background has the important influence to individual income and the education repayment.In Jilin Province, the family background to educates the repayment influence very slightly, only has approximately 10%, when consideration profession influence, the educational background to educates the repayment nearly no influence, however the profession difference to educates the repayment influence to be very big, nearly achieves 50%.But the relatively good social background could have the extra repayment, expressed for has the different social background individual even if has the same educational background and the family background has the remarkable difference in the labor market income, this meant the labor market still has the quite big divisibility and the labor force mobile barrier. The profession factor has the remarkable influence to the countryside inhabitant and the cities inhabitant, the agriculture, the forest, the herd, the fishing, the profession all has the negative influence to the rural labor force and the cities labor force. Is engaged in agricultural, the forest, the herd, the fishing, the profession rural labor force negative influence bigger, also the population is multitudinous, causes its personal income to change lowly, But gets employed to the simple physical labor (for example the architecture industry, manufacturing industry and so on) countryside masculine labor force income compared to cities masculine labor force slightly low, this is possible because the cities have the work safeguard to be the result of, presents the frontage influence to the income and the education repayment, but the mental labor which carries on to the cities labor force (for example finance industry) to its income has the bigger frontage influence, enable it to have a higher income.The conclusion of this article for understanding the mechanisms and the role of education and income distribution effects of a certain reference.
