多代流动效应：来自中国的证据

Abstract

Abstract:

Multigenerational effects between grandparents and grandchildren is a much debated topic in social mobility literature. Data from the China Labor Force Dynamic Survey (2012) is analyzed in this study to track social mobility across three generations in Chinese families. The study finds that association in socio-economic status between grandparents and grandchildren is insignificant for children born before 1980. This age cohort's parents and grandparents experienced the Chinese socialist revolution that completely shifted the social class structure and disrupted the generational cumulative family advantage and disadvantage. Individuals born after 1980 have grandparents who lived through the socialist period but had more opportunities and mobility brought by the market reform. However,the fundamental social stratification order did not change,and thus the cumulative advantage or disadvantage extended from adjacent generation to multi-generation. The study also finds that individuals can achieve social mobility through education,however,family background influences grandchildren's education attainment. For the most recent two age cohorts,children's education is closed correlated not only to their parents but grandparents' socioeconomic status,indicating multigenerational effects in social mobility. This study shows that the multigenerational approach is better situated to examine social mobility in China than the two generation approach.

Key words: social mobility, multigenerational effects, log-linear models, grandparents effect
