- Abstract
The widespread educational anxiety in China has led each student family to increase education expenditures, but different families have different resources and educational investment capabilities, which in turn exacerbates educational inequality. Based on the analysis of the family capital of 2905 students from preschool to high school in “China Family Panel Studies” in 2018, this study examines the effect of family capital on education expenditure. This study finds that families with higher income and parental education levels have higher education expenditures. Families with higher income have a lower proportion of education expenditure to family income. There is no significant relationship between parental education level and education expenditure as a proportion of family income. There are large variations in the educational expenditures of students’ families at various school stages, among which the educational expenditures of high school students’ families become a large amount of expenditure for families. This study explains the intergenerational transmission of family capital that has resulted in China’s class consolidation. In the end, this study provides educational policy recommendations for the inequality of education caused by the consolidation of class.
