Abstract

Gender equality in education has always been an important issue around the world, and researches on education inequality of rural female in Chinese context contribute to the progress of gender equality in education worldwide. By analyzing the data from the 2017 Chinese General Social Survey (CGSS2017), this paper discusses family factors that influence rural female’s education acquisition in China with a perspective of intersectionality theory. It is found that: With the increase of rural residents’ income, family economic factor is still an important reason for influencing rural women’s education years. The higher the girls ranked in the siblings at home, the higher the proportion of boys in the family, the shorter their average years of education. The educational level of mother and father both affect the educational years of rural women, but the influence of father’s education is greater. Overall, the number of years of education for rural women who were born during 1920s-1990s is increasing. To promote the sustainable development of gender equality in education, the national policy allocation of education resources should be more inclined to rural areas, and increase the investment in education funds. A reasonable birth control policy should be made and continuously improving the status of women and the education level of residents.
