教育促进共同富裕的独特作用:理论应然与经验实然

The Unique Role of Education in Promoting Common Prosperity:Theoretical Oughtness and Empirical Reality

共同富裕是新时代中国特色社会主义的本质要求,而推进共同富裕需要教育的助力。与其他政策工具和手段相比,教育在促进共同富裕方面具有五个方面的独特作用:(1)教育是推动经济高质量发展必不可少的国家战略投资;(2)教育对社会经济发展的影响是长期的,且具有复杂的作用机制;(3)教育对于三次收入分配差距均具有调节功能;(4)教育既是发展的工具,更是发展的目的;(5)教育可以同时促进精神和物质生活的“共同富裕”。本文基于已有文献,从理论应然与经验实然两个方面分别对上述教育五个独特作用进行了系统阐述,并在反思已有研究不足的基础上,提出未来教育促进共同富裕研究的六个发展方向。
