Abstract/Summary:
Since the reform and opening,China's economy is sustainable, stable and developed rapidly, people's living standard has improved significantly. However, with the deepening of reformment and social benefits, the changes of the distribution structural of people's rising income levels have also occurred, social gap between the rich and the poor becomes widener gradually. China's social class structure has undergone profound changes. The "two classes one stratum" (the working class, the peasant class and the intelligent class) in the class structure of society before reforment increasingly divided themselves into multi-level structure, but the dominated social hierarchies are the two distinct parts-the upper class and the bottom class of society (strong and vulnerable groups). This character of hierarchical structure is that economic wealth, and other types of resources are increasingly accumulated in the upper class or a few elite hands, and disadvantaged groups can share the benefits less and less, the socio-economic gap widened which isolated the bottom from the upper class society. This irrational social structure and economic development will inevitably have a negative impact.The social hierarchy formation impacted by multiple factors in a certain time point in one country. The human capital investment is an important factor in social stratification.The human capital as a form of capital that integration the knowledge, ability, health, individual factors that every person has, The human capital and othere capitals are different, it attaches on Person's body.We will obtain the human capital by the day after tomorrow diligenee, which are very few through the possibility of iniergeneration transmission.The human capital is the fairest competition rule in the open soeiety.the human capital as an important development in today's society is one factor of production, has the impact of the social hierarchy can not be ignored.This paper first reviews the investment in human capital and the basic theory of social stratification, From the theoretical analysis of the human capital investment impact on the social stratification structure by the mechanism,through vast amounts of references and datas, analyze the situation on China's current investment in human capital, pointing out that our current investment in human capital has the following problems:China's current total lack of investment in education, a expenditure structure is irrational, a significant regional differences in educational resources,a unfair distribution of educational resources, while the investment in health has the existence of regional and urban-rural differences,the migration of household registration policies also affect the realization of equity in education, caused employment status by inequality and social security rights and interests by inequality. This series of investment in human capital differences in the allocation of resources take profound impact on the irrational structure of stratification of the investment in human capital in our society in recent years,This paper argues that human capital investment has great impacts in the evolution of the structure of social stratification. It has has a strong practical significance of situations of between the different sectors of our society the growing divide between rich and poor, social class need to change the delay between the rational flow of the case which need changed,. A reasonable investment in human capital is conducive to improving China's current hierarchical structure of society, narrowing the gap between rich and poor, promoting equal access to the bottom of society people and all kinds of resources and ultimately enable them to acquire a fundamental change in the situation of poverty and backwardness,make the ability to achieve its upward mobility the good wishes, and thus promote social stability and development. And this is mainly reflected in increased investment in education, spending on education adjusting the structure of rational allocation of educational resources; increasing investment in medical and health services, improving the medical and health system to improve medical and consumer fairment; reforming and improving the system of household registration and employment to achieve resident status of equality.
