The Impact of Educational Opportunity Equality on Labor-force Inflow Location Choice:A Perspective of Intergenerational Mobility
This article uses data from the China Labor-force Dynamics Survey to construct a measure of equity in educational opportunity in urban areas,and combines it with the China Migrants Dynamic Survey and data reflecting characteristics of relevant cities to explore how equity in educational opportunity affects labor-force inflow decisions using a conditional Logit model.It found that the difference in equity in ed-ucational opportunity between different cities is an important factor affecting the choice of labor-force in-flow destination.Specifically,labor force tend to flow into cities with high levels of equity in educational opportunities,but this preference will weaken as the threshold for urban settlement increases.Further a-nalysis shows that there is a significant heterogeneity in individual characteristics of the attraction of edu-cational opportunity equity to labor force that individuals with high education,new-generation migrants,labor-force groups with formal employment status,and married individuals will place greater emphasis on the level of educational opportunity equity.The conclusion has important reference to guiding the rational and orderly flow of labor force and optimizing the allocation of regional human capital.
