Choose Vocational Education or General Education?——From the Perspective of Income and Employment Quality
Choose vocational education or general education?It is not only a choice for personal education,but also an important basis for the reform of education structure.The research based on the mixed cross-section data of CGSS finds that in the stage of secondary education,vocational education can improve the income and employment quality of workers,whose income is about 7.46%higher than that of secondary general education,and vulnerable groups with rural registered residence and lower class benefit more from secondary vocational education;In the higher education stage,the income of vocational education workers is 28.7%lower than that of general education.However,from the perspective of historical evolution,the income advantage of secondary vocational education continues to decline,and the income disadvantage of higher vocational education continues to shrink,and there is even a trend of anti-surpassing higher general education.Therefore,higher vocational education can be regarded as the focus of vocational education development,and a"dual-track"education system should be established to promote high-quality development of China's education system.
