Abstract

This study uses Gini coefficient and the different decomposition of Gini coefficient to investigate the equality of distribution of human capital and endowment. The result shows that neither the amount of endowment nor the number of teachers indeed causes a great deal of inequality in different schools. The contribution from full-time teachers is more than the contribution from the part-time teachers to the inequal distribution of teachers. For the inequal distribution of endowment, the contribution from the between-group is greater than the contribution from with-group.

Highlights

  • In 1999, the Chinese government made decision to expand the scale of enrollment in Colleges and universities, and in the subsequent years of continuous expansion, the size of enrollment is unprecedented
