How does education affect knowledge and intergenerational social class mobility in China?
Education is an important tool used to equip knowledge and pursue self-improvement, which may affect intergenerational social class mobility through human capital accumulation. Using 8014 mixed cross-section samples from the 2017, 2018 and 2021 China General Social Survey (CGSS), an multi-nominal logistic regression model was adopted to empirically analyse the impact of educational levels on intergenerational social class mobility in China. The econometric results indicated that (1) higher education considerably promotes subjective and objective upwards intergenerational social class mobilities, with the objective effect exceeding the subjective effect by 3.4 %; (2) the implementation of the compulsory education law and the expansion of higher education enrolment has increased the potential for high educational level to drive upwards intergenerational social class mobility; (3) among the different types of education, population migration exerts a repelling effect on objective upwards intergenerational social class mobility, whereas family background exerts a negative effect on subjective intergenerational social class mobility; and (4) the effects of education on intergenerational social class mobility are heterogeneous, with women, non-agricultural hukou holders and groups in developed areas facing greater difficulties in achieving social mobility through education. The main contribution of this study is its initial detection of the varying impacts of educational level on intergenerational social class mobility, as investigated through subjective and objective perspectives.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Innovation and Knowledge (JIK) explores how innovation drives knowledge creation and vice versa, emphasizing that not all innovation leads to knowledge, but enduring innovation across diverse fields fosters theory and knowledge. JIK invites papers on innovations enhancing or generating knowledge, covering innovation processes, structures, outcomes, and behaviors at various levels. Articles in JIK examine knowledge-related changes promoting innovation for societal best practices.
JIK serves as a platform for high-quality studies undergoing double-blind peer review, ensuring global dissemination to scholars, practitioners, and policymakers who recognize innovation and knowledge as economic drivers. It publishes theoretical articles, empirical studies, case studies, reviews, and other content, addressing current trends and emerging topics in innovation and knowledge. The journal welcomes suggestions for special issues and encourages articles to showcase contextual differences and lessons for a broad audience.
In essence, JIK is an interdisciplinary journal dedicated to advancing theoretical and practical innovations and knowledge across multiple fields, including Economics, Business and Management, Engineering, Science, and Education.
