Abstract
Income inequality has increased rapidly in recent decades. According to the welfare states theory of Gosta Esping-Andersen, taking Germany, Sweden and the United States as examples analysis of the inequality in different Welfare States: status quo, reasons and measures. Seen from the experiences and lessons of developed countries in reducing the income gap, many reasons are accountable for explaining income inequality, such as the nature and scale of government intervention in social welfare, the degree of the marketization of social welfare, and the extent of stratification in society. Taking into account these factors, China should form social security institutions based on its concrete national conditions and institutional structures.
