Abstract: |
Social intergenerational mobility is a phenomenon that the social and economic status of children is
different from that of their parents. In particular, for those who have received higher education, the factors affecting
intergenerational mobility show more significant, and the parents has more direct influence on the social and economic
status of their offspring. Family resources represent the social and economic status of the parents, and affect the
offspring's chance to accept high-quality education and work choice. In recent years, the intergenerational mobility of
highly educated population in China has shown a significant downward trend compared with the 1990s. The remark
that "an elite will never come from a poor house" arouses profound thinking of the whole society. The motivation
of this study is to find the reasons behind the weakening of intergenerational mobility and the solidifying of social
classes.
In this empirical research, the data is collected from Chinese General Social Survey (CGSS) from 2010 to 2013
and China Labor-force Dynamics Survey (CLDS) in 2014. Chinese General Social Survey (CGSS), which started in
2003, is one of the most important data sources for Chinese social science research, including data on multiple levels
of society, community, family and individual. China Labor-force Dynamics Survey (CLDS) is a tracking survey
conducted every two years, including 29 provinces or cities in China, except Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, Tibet,
Hainan province. CLDS systematically monitors the interactions among village/communities, families and labors, and
also establishes a three level tracking database of communities, families and labors.
We apply social intergenerational mobility table to analyze the intergenerational mobility for the groups
with different higher education levels in different decades. And then we respectively explore the factors of social
intergenerational mobility in two aspects of subjective and objective perspective, in order to accurately evaluate
social intergenerational mobility. In addition to the influence of the offspring income on the social and economic
status of their parents, there are also some unobservable factors that affect (such as family social relationships,
genetic inheritance, etc). These issues may cause endogeneity in the model. In this study, the two-stage least squares
estimation with instrumental variables was adopted, in order to alleviate the endogeneity by using the education level
as the instrumental variable.
Finally, based on the estimation results, the following conclusions are obtained. Firstly, education is still
the most important way to affect offspring's occupation and social-economic status, and its influence exceeds the
intergenerational influence of their parents' occupational status and the influence of their work experience. Secondly,
family resources not only have a significant impact on offspring's education opportunities, but also have a significant
impact on offspring's income under the same education level. Thirdly, there is a certain deviation in the individual's
subjective understanding of social intergenerational mobility, which is far greater in the subjective perspective
than that in the objective perspective. This indicates that individuals in today's society are more inclined to believe
that the social resources of the parents have a great influence on the social status of offspring. Fourthly, China's
intergenerational mobility peaked in the 1990s, and then went weakening, followed by a solidifying trend of social
class. Therefore, improving the fairness of education resources allocation and education opportunity is the key to
solving the issues of weakening intergenerational mobility in China. |
