Abstract:

Using the 2007 survey data of the “college bachelors’ class background and their occupational status attainment,” this study analyzed the impact of the former variable on the latter in order to discover the relative class structure during the market transition. It was found that the coevolution of the politics and the market paralleled the process of competitive differentiation and sharing between the old and the new interest groups, the process of rejecting the college bachelors coming from families in the manuallabor stratum, and the converging process of the politics and the market that ensures the continuous monopoly of the elite class and the successive intergenerational dualistic segmentation.
