Due to the residents’ income growth lags behind economic growth for a long time，under the condition of increasing economic downward pressure，how to achieve the goal that household income in 2010 doubles compared with that in 2020，which is also the goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way，has become a difficult task. Based on the analysis of relationship between economic growth and income growth，this paper depicts characteristics of residents’ income growth，discusses the main causes of residents’ income growth，and puts forward the suggestions on increasing the income of residents. This paper argues that problems in residents’ income growth are in the following aspects. Firstly，labor remuneration income which is the major part of residents’ income grows slowly. Secondly，residents’ property income accounts for minor part and increases slowly. Thirdly，the growth of low income is slow. Achieving the goal of double growth need to hold on to the bottom line of economic growth，improve labor remuneration income and the mechanism of reasonable wage growth，at the same time need to reform the capital market and open channels of capital gains into residents’ property income.
