摘要：

本文通过"代际累积"概念探讨了父代住房支持的差异引发的子代住房不平等问题。参考以往通过"优势累积/劣势累积"两条因果路径分析社会不平等的方法和最新文献对累积过程的关注，本研究将弥补以往累积与社会不平等研究忽视代际分析的不足，从因果机制和过程分析两方面推进代际累积对住房不平等的解释。对前者的研究发现，住房制度改革拓宽了个体住房资源获得的渠道，父代家庭对子代的住房支持从无到有、由小变大，其对住房不平等的影响也日渐凸显；对后者的研究表明，代际累积这一因果机制所解释的住房不平等并非稳定不变的，受一些因素的影响，既有累积趋势可能会发生异于原初累积方向的变动，甚至是累积断裂。这一发现弥补了代际优势/劣势累积这一因果机制未能澄清累积过程中波动存在的理论缺憾。

Abstract:

This paper examines the impact of parental support on housing inequality through the lens of intergenerational accumulation. Previous studies have analyzed social inequalities through the perspective of cumulative advantage and cumulative disadvantage,as well as focused on the cumulative process. However,intergenerational factors have been neglected in prior research. As such,this paper seeks to investigate housing inequality from two aspects:cause-effect mechanisms and process analysis,in order to enrich the literature on intergenerational accumulation. Our findings on cause-effect mechanisms showed that housing reforms have opened up the housing market to individual buyers. Moreover,parental support affects the buying power of children,and hence leads to housing inequality problems. The process analysis found that housing inequality is not a constant concept. It fluctuates due to the influence of certain factors. This paper extends prior research by considering the influence of intergenerational accumulation on housing inequality problems. Compared with the synchronic results presented in the study of housing stratification,this study explores the intergenerational mobility problems of housing inequality,based on parental support differences from the diachronic perspective. Against a specific historical background and the macro-social system,we explored the reasons,results and processes of housing inequality caused by the intergenerational factors,and clarified the particular process and historical development of urban residents in Guangzhou in getting houses and housing class status. This paper will also contribute to a deeper understanding of the historical reasons for synchronic housing inequality.

Key words: intergenerational accumulation of disadvantage, intergenerational accumulation of advantage, housing inequality
