Cognitive ability,intergenerational mobility of education and efficiency of educational resource allocation
Education is the key factor that affects individual labor productivity,income and occupation,so the accumulation and transmission of human capital is an important transmission way of intergenerational income.Education intergenerational mobility is not only an important indicator to understand intergenerational mobility,but also a better understanding of the long-term trend of intergenerational mobility.The factors that affect the intergenerational mobility of education are mainly the ability of individual workers and family and social factors.The current literature mainly analyzes the factors from family and social level,so it is difficult to fully understand the intergenerational mobility of education in China.By using the CFPS data of 2018 and 2010,this paper investigates the influence of cognitive ability on intergenerational mobility of education in China,as well as the difference between urban and rural areas and gender.At the same time,it analyzes the change of cognitive ability in intergenerational mobility of education to understand the changing trend of intergenerational mobility in China.The conclusions of this study are as follows:Cognitive ability is an important factor affecting the intergenerational mobility of education in China;the influence of mathematical ability on intergenerational mobility of education is higher than that of word ability;there are significant gender differences and urban-rural differences in the influence of cognitive ability on intergenerational mobility of education in China;from 2010 to 2018,the influence of cognitive ability on intergenerational mobility of education has increased significantly.These conclusions mean that the allocation of educational resources in China is efficiency-oriented,and the efficiency of allocation of educational resources is improving.At the same time,the positive influence of cognitive ability on intergenerational mobility of education is conducive to"correcting"the differences between urban and rural areas and gender differences.
