1. To distinguish between distribution according to work and distribution according to factors of production, we must first distinguish between public economy and non-public economy.

Wages, bonuses and allowances in the public ownership economy belong to distribution according to work; The distinction between welfare distribution and social security: labor income and non-labor income, distribution according to work and distribution according to labor factors all belong to labor income. The labor income of skilled workers belongs to labor income. Income from the sale or transfer of inventions and patents belongs to non-labor income. Labor income: distribution according to work and non-labor income according to production factors: distribution according to land, capital, technology, farmers' income and other factors; Farmers' income from planting contracted land is distributed according to work, and the income from land circulation is distributed according to production factors.
