Abstract:

According to the income and expenditure survey data from 10000 households of fishermen in China, this paper analyzes the trend about Chinese fishermen’s income, the income structure and expenditure structure in 2012. And by the exploratory case study method, we surveyed and interviewed the five regions fishermen family income and expenditure. Analysis showed that the fisherman’s income has increased quickly in China since 2004, and the average annual growth is 9.46%, but there are wide regional differences. The fishermen’s income from fishery production accounted for most of the total, but the fishermen’s income from fishery production is declining, multiple occupations’ income is increasing; about the income of household operation, the proportion of transitive income is growing because it mainly comes from the rapidly increasing 〖JP2〗production subsidies; The income level of coastal and inland provinces has bigger difference, but the income’s〖JP〗 structure does not have big difference. The fishery production played a larger role and contribution to increase fishermen’s income and improve the living standards of the Chinese fishermen.
