本文估计了文化大革命期间大约1600万城市青年被强制安置在农村的遣送运动对农村教育的影响。使用县级数据集编制的地方地名词典和人口普查，我们发现，更大的曝光发送下来的青年显着增加农村儿童的教育成就。20世纪70年代末城市青年离开农村后，这种积极影响有所减弱，但从未消失。与被下放的年轻人互动的农村儿童也更有可能追求更高技能的职业，结婚更晚，家庭规模更小。(JEL I21、J13、J24、N35、O15、P36、R23）
This paper estimates the effects on rural education of the send-down movement during the Cultural Revolution, when about 16 million urban youth were mandated to resettle in the countryside. Using a county-level dataset compiled from local gazetteers and population censuses, we show that greater exposure to the sent-down youths significantly increased rural children’s educational achievement. This positive effect diminished after the urban youth left the countryside in the late 1970s but never disappeared. Rural children who interacted with the sent-down youths were also more likely to pursue more-skilled occupations, marry later, and have smaller families than those who did not.
