Abstract

Scholars debate whether and how higher education and elite education experiences break or reinforce the link between social origins and status attainment in meritocratic societies. We contribute to these debates focusing on post-college outcomes of elite university students in contemporary China. Using a longitudinal survey of the 2014 freshmen cohort from an elite Chinese university and a sequential logit modeling technique, we find that meritocracy is seemingly at play between the trajectories of graduate study and employment. However, within each trajectory, students’ hukou (urban/rural registration status) and regional backgrounds significantly constrain their post-college options, partly through differential participation in high-impact educational practices. Furthermore, social origins leave marks on students’ motives for graduate study.

学生的社会起源、教育过程和大学毕业后的结果——以中国一所精英大学为例

学者们争论高等教育和精英教育经历是否以及如何打破或加强精英社会中社会出身和地位获得之间的联系。我们为这些关注当代中国精英大学生大学毕业后成绩的争论做出了贡献。通过对中国一所精英大学2014级新生的纵向调查和序列logit建模技术，我们发现精英政治似乎在研究生学习和就业的轨迹之间发挥着作用。然而，在每一个轨迹中，学生的户口（城市/农村登记身份）和地区背景都严重限制了他们在大学毕业后的选择，部分原因是他们对高影响力教育实践的不同参与。此外，社会出身在学生研究生学习动机上留下了印记。
