Differential Impact of Intergenerational Education Mobility on Intergenerational Income Mobility from a Gender Perspective
Intergenerational education mobility maps long-term social mobility patterns and social open-ness.Reasonable intergenerational education mobility promotes intergenerational income mobility and advanc-es social equity effectively.This paper analyzes gender differences in intergenerational educational mobility and its impact on intergenerational income mobility based on data from a 2021 sample of 1,682 individuals born nationwide in 1976-2000 who completed their education and entered the labor market.The study finds that intergenerational educational mobility in China has significantly increased and gender differences are in-creasingly dissolving;the proportion of female from families with low education levels achieving upward mobil-ity to higher levels of education has increased,and the top transmission advantage of education for male re-mains significant;paternal income is still a key factor effecting intergenerational income mobility;female have higher intergenerational income correlation than male,and its occupation and education level are difficult to break the shackles of paternal income on intergenerational income mobility;intergenerational educational up-ward mobility of offspring block the intra-generational income gap of paternal transmission from paternal to off-spring,while the intergenerational educational downward mobility intensifies the intergenerational income transmission,and this effect affects female more strongly.
