The development of higher education and the improvement of education levels is one of the crucial and effective means of balancing urban and rural incomes, and the relationship between education levels and income levels has shown different relationships over time and under distinct economic conditions, thus having certain impacts on policy formulation. The issue of urban-rural income and education gap has received wide attention, but there is still insufficient analysis of the development and interaction between the two. This paper analyzes the relationship between the two and the current problems. The analysis of this paper concludes that the difference between urban and rural education has an impact on people's income levels, and there is an interactive relationship between the two. However, the relationship between the two is not static and will fluctuate due to different factors. In addition, the article describes the problems in the interaction between the two. Based on this, the paper puts forward the following recommendations: adjusting the industrial distribution and reducing the policy priority to cities as well as to the increase of China's urbanization rate.
