Abstract
Based on the perspective of income level, this paper uses the 2016 China Family Tracking Survey (CFPS) data as the analysis data to examine the impact of income level on educational expectations from the individual level for the first time. The results show that income level has no significant effect on educational expectations. Educational expectations include parents' educational expectations for their children and children's self-education expectations. This disparity reflects the heterogeneity of their expectations for the educational level of their offspring. The gap between parents and children's educational expectations is too large, which is not conducive to children's educational acquisition and social class promotion. In recent years, educational anxiety in Chinese society has become increasingly serious. The educational chaos in the school district and extracurricular classes of Sky High School is closely related to the educational anxiety of parents. After the reform and opening up, with the continuous accumulation of family wealth, education has shown a competitive situation, and parents' educational concept has gradually changed. With the continuous improvement of the average family income, more and more parents have invested a lot of money and energy in their children's education in order to compete for limited educational resources and social resources such as employment. As a reflection of a family's socioeconomic status, studying its role in promoting children's education is conducive to finding out the impact of the wealth and income of the previous generation on the education level of the next generation, and is conducive to exploring the source. educational competition’s reason.
