Double disadvantages: a study of ethnic and Hukou effects on class mobility in China (1996-2014)

Abstract: This paper examines the ethnic and household registration system (hukou) effects on intergenerational social mobility for men in China. Using national representative surveys covering almost two decades (1996-2014), we assess both absolute and relative rates of mobility by ethnicity and hukou origin.

With regard to relative mobility, we find men of rural ethnic origins significantly less likely to inherit their parental positions. Even with parental and own educational qualifications and party memberships controlled for, we still find ethnic minority men of rural hukou origins behind others in access to professional-managerial positions.
