A Study on the Impact of Expanding Enrollment in Universities on the Intergenerational Transmission of Education——An Empirical Analysis Based on CGSS Data
Whether children can obtain higher levels of education and more educational opportunities is largely influenced by intergenerational mobility in education.This study takes the important educational historical event of college enrollment expansion as the background,and uses the 2015 China Comprehen-sive Social Survey(CGSS)data to empirically analyze the impact of college enrollment expansion on in-tergenerational transmission of education in China.The results show that parental education has a signifi-cant intergenerational transmission effect on children's education,and compared to fathers,the influence of maternal education is deeper;The expansion of enrollment in universities has reduced the intensity of education transmission between parents and children,and this impact is mainly reflected in female chil-dren and individuals with urban household registration;Further analysis reveals that the policy of expan-ding enrollment in universities can effectively increase the opportunities for lower educated children of their parents to advance from junior high school to high school.Based on the above conclusions,targeted suggestions are proposed from methods such as strengthening policy collaboration,optimizing the alloca-tion of educational resources,and strengthening the connection between schools and families.
