高等教育与社会代际流动的研究述论

Literature Review of Higher Education and Social Intergenerational Mobility

高等教育与社会代际流动的关系是高等教育社会学关注的核心命题。我国学者对高等教育与社会代际流动关系的研究也颇为丰富。已有研究从古代科举制、职业发展和社会阶层地位变化等方面提出了高等教育促进社会代际流动的观点;从高等教育的大众化使得文凭信号有所弱化,高等教育固化社会阶层等方面提出了高等教育阻碍社会代际流动的观点。综合已有研究,高等教育与社会代际流动的后续研究可以在研究方法选择、研究对象细化及跨学科研究等方面进一步完善。

The relationship between higher education and social intergenerational mobility is the core topic of higher education sociology.Chinese scholars also have rich research on the relationship between higher education and social intergenerational mobility.Existing studies have put forward the viewpoint that higher education promotes intergenerational mobility from the aspects of ancient imperial examination system,career development and social stratum status change.This paper puts forward the viewpoint that higher education hinders intergenerational mobility from the aspects of the popularization of higher education,the weakening of Diploma signals,the solidification of social strata and the weakening of the function of higher education in promoting intergenerational mobility.Based on the existing research,the follow-up study of higher education and social intergenerational mobility can be further improved in the selection of research methods,the refinement of research objects and interdisciplinary research.
