摘要

This research applies the life-course perspective to investigate how critical events commonly experienced by ordinary people in China subsequently affect the social statuses of themselves and their offspring. The research consists of three empirical studies, each of which focuses on an important life event that has affected many individuals in China's recent history: Cultural Revolution, military service, and primary school entry. The first study is about social reproduction of social status across three generations. It proposes a counter-mobility model in which the third generation tends to return to the social position of the first generation when the status of the second generation deviates from that of the first generation. It also shows that this bouncing-back pattern is especially pronounced for a generation of Chinese whose educational opportunities were disrupted by political turbulence during the Cultural Revolution. The second study is on military service. By comparing social outcomes between male veterans and matched male nonveterans, this study shows that military service facilitates attainment of college education and Party membership, marital transition, and earning higher income. The study also shows, however, the veteran premium was not uniform, contingent on such life-course factors as the timing and duration of military service, the historical period, and service status. The military experience does not guarantee a good prospect, but it offers mobility opportunities that individual veteran may take advantage of. The third study is on the timing of primary school entry under China's compulsory educational system. The Compulsory Educational Law specified the minimum age and the enrollment cutoff. It resulted in the age difference between children born before and after the cutoff date. The study shows that these age rules of school eligibility affected the school-entry timing and later, adulthood outcomes. Rather than supporting the age position effect suggested by previous studies, however, this study argues that the age rules of school eligibility gives parents of children born after the cutoff date stronger incentives and greater flexibility with which parents arrange the best timing of school entry for their child. To sum up, the three studies all demonstrate the usefulness of the life-course perspective in understanding social stratification in contemporary China.
