The study’s key findings are: (1) Green positively reduces gap. Specifically, regression results indicate that a one-unit increase in corresponds 0.017-unit reduction (2) heterogeneity analysis reveals effect more pronounced regions with higher levels development, non-food-producing areas, when utility patents are adopted. Additionally, narrows predominantly high-skill regions. (3) Examining influencing mechanism confirms by promoting population urbanization, eco-urbanization, labor force restructuring, mitigating wage inequality. (4) indicates environmental pollution exacerbates gap; specifically, amplify reducing These offer valuable insights addressing inequality fostering socio-economic development countries.
