OPQRSTThe Family Status Achievement and Educational Strategies during The Planned Economy era （1949-1978） in China: Focusing on the Life History Analysis of the Chinese Born between 1949 and 1978* Since most respondents born between 1966 and 1976 grew up during the late Cultural Revolution and the early years of the Reform and Opening-up period, the influence of political screening diminished by this time. Therefore, the class distinctions during this period were simplified into two main categories: the middle class and working class.SubjectBirth Year196519621967196219621965Social ClassMiddle ClassMiddle ClassMiddle ClassMiddle ClassWorking Peasant ClassWorking Peasant ClassBirthplaceEducation LevelAnhuiUniversity GraduateUniversity GraduateAnhuiGuizhouThree-year college diplomaUniversity GraduateAnhuiHigh School GraduateAnhuiXinjiangThree-year college diploma49ProfessionHigh School Teachercompany employeecompany employeecompany employeecompany employeeNurse4. Theoretical FrameworkThis thesis employs Relative Risk Aversion （RRA） and Cultural Reproduction models to analyze the educational opportunities, choices, and behavioral motivations of interviewees from different social strata born between 1949 and 1977.Relative Risk Aversion and Cultural Reproduction models explain the origin of educational inequality from two perspectives. The Relative Risk Aversion model suggests that educational inequality can be understood through the necessity of pursuing education at key turning points to avoid downward mobility between social classes （Breen & Goldthorpe, 1997; Breen & Yaish, 2006; Stocké, 2007; Goldthorpe, 2010; Breen, Van De Werfhorst & Jæger, 2014; Hällsten, 2017; Andersson, Barone & Hällsten, 2023; Müller & Klein, 2023;）. In contrast, Cultural Reproduction theory focuses on explaining class differences in education through cultural differences between social classes （Bourdieu, 1984; Bourdieu & Passeron, 1990 [1977]）. 5. ResultsInterviewees born between 1949 and 1959: Educational and Career Opportunities Influenced by the Political Background of Their Birth FamiliesThrough an investigation of 11 interviewees born between 1949 and 1959, we could clearly see the impact of the political background of their birth families on their educational opportunities.All 11 interviewees in this study participated in the “Down to the Countryside Movement.” Of these, individuals A through F were recommended for university or college admission during the Cultural Revolution, and all were born to working-class or middle-class families.
