Abstract:
This paper uses the China Family Panel Studies' micro-level data and the ordered logit model to study intergenerational transmission of education and examines whether the nine-year compulsory schooling system affects equity in education. The results show that when parents have higher educational attainments, their children will have higher educational attainments. Full-sample results show that when the mother has higher education, the probability that her children have higher education increases by 7.97%, whereas for the sub-sample after the compulsory schooling policy carried out, the probability increases by 22.42%. We find that the compulsory schooling system strengthens intergenerational transmission of education in the level of higher education. An implication is that the compulsory schooling system may promote equity in compulsory education but does not promote equity in higher education.
