随着中国经济增速放缓，日渐衰落的等级社会制度有了复兴的机会。在中国快速城市化的背景下，当地劳动力市场对社会流动机会的影响知之甚少。本研究利用具有全国代表性的大规模调查数据和多层次回归分析，探讨了城市和社区一级劳动力市场特征与个人对其当前社会地位和向上流动机会的看法之间的关系。结果表明，邻里之间的熟悉和互助与居民的社会地位感知呈正相关，经济增长率和低失业率与社会向上流动的可能性呈正相关。我们的研究结果强调了经济繁荣在提供向上流动的机会和维持中国社会稳定方面的重要性。
As China's economic growth slows down, the declining hierarchical social system has the chance of revival. Little is known about the influence of local labour market on the chance of social mobility in the context of Chinese rapid urbanisation. Using large-scale nationally representative survey data and multilevel regressions, this study examines the relationship between labour market characteristics at the city and neighbourhood levels and individuals' perception of their current social status and chances of upward mobility. Results indicate that familiarity and mutual assistance among neighbours are positively associated with residents' perceived social status, and that economic growth rates and low unemployment rates are positively linked to the possibility of upward social mobility. Our findings stress the importance of economic prosperity in offering the chance of upward mobility and maintaining social stability in China.
