Online published: 2022-07-04
Vocational education has two mutually exclusive functions in social mobility: “safety net” and “diversion”. Based on the China Family Panel Studies, the impacts of vocational education on social status and social mobility are analyzed by using some indicators such as economic income, socioeconomic index, and mobility of status on both intergenerational and intragenerational perspectives. The results show that vocational education group can achieve better economic income and socioeconomic status than average level, and significantly superior to their parents. Compared with the junior high school group, vocational education group has remarkable advantage in terms of social status, which indicates that vocational education can provide individuals with a solid “safety net” and promote upward social mobility. However, compared with higher education group, vocational education is inferior in terms of economic income and socioeconomic index, and the “diversion” effect is significant. In addition, vocational education plays a more significant role in promoting the social mobility of the western rural region in China. In general, as an effective mechanism to promote social mobility, vocational education should be paid high attention to further develop its “safety net” function whiling limiting “diversion” effect.
