Expansion and Inequality of Higher Education in China: How Likely Would Chinese Poor Students Get to Success?
Luo, Yan; Guo, Fei; Shi, Jinghuan
Higher Education Research and Development, v37 n5 p1015-1034 2018
This article tests effectively maintained inequality theory against the case of China. Employing Chinese College Student Survey data from 2012, the study elaborates on the rationale and causes behind the expansion of higher education over the last two decades and the impact this has had on the system. Rather than empowering disadvantaged students, the findings show that the expansion of Chinese higher education fails to reduce the inequity in China, in particular in providing low socio-economic status students access to elite Chinese universities and obtaining good positions in the job market.
