尽管在过去几十年中，中国的入学率显著提高，但人们对中国教育机会日益不平等感到担忧。本文考察了中国教育流动的水平和趋势，并与德国、荷兰、英国和美国的情况进行了比较。教育流动性是指父母与子女教育程度之间的联系。我们发现，中国的经济繁荣伴随着相对教育流动机会的大幅下降，以优势比衡量。更详细地说，按照国际标准，对于那些在国家社会主义下长大的人来说，中国的教育流动率相当高。然而，就最近的一批人而言，教育流动率已降至与欧洲国家相当的水平，尽管仍高于美国的水平。
Despite an impressive rise in school enrolment rates over the past few decades, there are concerns about growing inequality of educational opportunity in China. In this article, we examine the level and trend of educational mobility in China, and compare them to the situation in Germany, the Netherlands, the UK and the USA. Educational mobility is defined as the association between parents’ and children’s educational attainment. We show that China’s economic boom has been accompanied by a large decline in relative educational mobility chances, as measured by odds ratios. To elaborate, relative rates of educational mobility in China were, by international standards, quite high for those who grew up under state socialism. For the most recent cohorts, however, educational mobility rates have dropped to levels that are comparable to those of European countries, although they are still higher than the US level.
