Abstract

This study analyzes urban and rural adolescents in the nine-year compulsory education stage in China, and combines Bourdieu’s theory of cultural reproduction with the framework of new institutional economics, Amatia Sen’s theory of capacity deprivation, and China’s special urban-rural dual structure to explore the multiple effects of urban-rural differences on the social mobility of adolescents.
