教育如何影响分配公平感?——基于人力资本理论与筛选理论的比较分析

How Do the Functions of Education Affect the Perception of Income Distributive Justice?—— A Comparative Analysis Based on Human Capital Theory and Screening Theory

基于人力资本理论与筛选理论,探讨教育的生产功能与筛选功能对个体收入分配公平感的影响。研究发现,教育的生产功能与筛选功能对收入分配公平感有不同的影响机制。就收入而言,二者均有正向作用;就收入分配公平感而言,生产功能的影响效应不显著,但筛选功能的影响效应是正向显著的。可见,教育的筛选作用通过帮助社会系统对个体进行筛选而影响人们对收入分配的感知。

This paper probes into the effects of the productive and screening functions of education on the perception of distributive justice based on human capital theory and screening theory. It is found that the productive function and screening function of education have different effects on the perception of distributive justice. In terms of income, both of the two functions have positive effects. However, in terms of the perception of income distributive justice, the effect of productive function is not significant, while the effect of screening function is positive. Therefore, the screening effect of education affects the perception of income distribution by screening people in social system.
