Abstract: This study uses provincial data from 2011 to 2022 to explore the impact of rural industrial revitalization and education level on the urban–rural income gap. The findings reveal that rural industrial revitalization can reduce the urban–rural income gap. Improving the rural education level is conducive to narrowing this income gap. Furthermore, the registered unemployment rate in urban areas moderates the relationship between rural education level and the urban–rural income gap. Notably, differences exist in the impact of rural industrial revitalization on the urban–rural income gap in different regions, with the most pronounced effect being observed in the western region.
