"This study examines the trends in educational stratification during China's economic reform period from 1981 to 2006. Using panel data from the 'China Health and Nutrition Survey': the authors match school-age children to their parents' information arid investigate how the family background affects children's educational transitions over time in both urban and rural areas. The authors find that social inequality in the transition to senior high school first increased then decreased during the reform era, whereas inequality in the transition to college recently increased. In particular, children from rural backgrounds seem to face more disadvantages in access to higher education in recent years, despite the rapid expansion of higher education since the late 1990s."
