Abstract

In this paper, consumption structure between urban and rural residents were studied respectively, and a comparison between urban and rural residents was further made regarding to the influences of the consumption structure on spiritual consumption structure. The results show that, urban residents spend more disposable income on education, entertainment and cultural than rural residents. The model of residents' spiritual consumption has obvious structural changes since China's accession to WTO, and accession to WTO has greater impact on urban residents' spiritual consumption. However, rural people's demand for consumption of education and entertainment increases faster than urban residents, and the gap between rural and urban consumption is gradually being narrowed.
