Chinese Middle Class
2.2.1 Emergence of Chinese Middle Class
The polarization in China dose not mean its middle class is incline to disappear, actually, with the economy growing and the high education popularize, China’s middle class was virtually non-existent for a period but it was recreated in the late 1990s (Economist, 2011). Since most literatures describe the Chinese middle class as a group who gains the higher income, higher education and higher occupational prestige in China (CASS, 2009), the emergence of Chinese middle class is relate closely with China’s economy development and education level in recent decades.
The first reference to a modern Chinese middle class were made in the late 1980s after China implemented the reform and opening-up policy (Wang, 2011), hereby the following research is focus on China’s economy, education and occupation pattern during this period. In terms of economy growth, the figure 1.0 below shows that the GDP growth and income growth of mainland China begins to increasing around the end of 1980. Until 2006, the Chinese GDP is more than 20 times of it was in 1978, and the urban family’s income is around 10 times than 28 years ago.
中国中产阶级
2出现的中国中产阶级
偏振在中国并不意味着中产阶级是趋向消失了，其实，随着经济的日益发展和高等教育的普及，中国的中产阶层是几乎不存在，但这是一段重新在90年代末（经济学家，2011）。由于大多数文献描述了中国中产阶级作为一个群体谁获得较高的收入，教育和职业声望较高的在中国（中国社会科学院，2009），出现了中国中产阶级是密切相关，随着中国经济的发展和教育水平在最近几十年。
第一次提到一个现代的中国中产阶级是在上世纪80年代后，中国实行改革开放政策（王，2011），特此以下重点研究中国经济，教育和职业模式在这一时期。在经济增长，对下面的图1显示，国内生产总值的增长和收入的增长，中国大陆开始增加在1980年底。直到2006，中国国内生产总值的20倍以上，这是1978，和城市家庭的收入大约是10倍，比28年前。
