520 _aThis study analyses the impact of rural indusrtrialization in China on poverty and spatial inequality at the county level between 1982 and 2000. the most positive consequence of industrialization has been its combination to absolute poverty reduction, especially in the coastal provinces. Much less clear is whether migration - mainly from west to east and drives by rural industrialization - has contributed to poverty reduction in the interior. for, remittances have accrued mainly to the relatively well off rather than to the rural poor. More, negatively, countries which were large exporters of labour have suffered a skill drain. However, the main adverse effect of rural industrialization has been its excerbation of spatial inequality, which has also resulted in a rise of inequalities in per capita GDP among China"s countries. - Reproduced.
