From margins to mainstream: Migrant experiences and intergenerational transmission of educational aspiration in urban China
From passive to active welfare: Poverty alleviation and perceived governance in rural China
Understanding how social welfare programs shape public perceptions of government performance is vital for improving governance in rural China, where economic disparities and effective poverty alleviation remain critical challenges. This study investigates the relationship between rural subsistence allowances (rural dibao ) and citizens' perceptions of local government performance, examining changes following the implementation of Targeted Poverty…
Both science and art elicit emotional well-being: An examination of creativity and mood
Local language proficiency, school segregation and school adaptation of migrant children in urban China
Using the two-wave China Education Panel Survey, this study investigates the effect of local language proficiency on migrant children's school adaptation, and the moderating role of school segregation in contemporary urban China. Our analysis delineates three pivotal aspects of school adaptation: learning adaptability, interpersonal relationships, and psychosocial maladjustment. Utilizing two-level mixed-effects models, we uncover that the influe…
Job demands‐control, job support, and depressive symptoms: Unraveling job support's moderating mechanism among social workers in China
Work‐induced stress poses significant mental health risks in high‐stress professions, such as social workers. This study, grounded in the Job Demands‐Control‐Support model and Conservation of Resources theory, explores how job stressors affect social workers' depressive symptoms, focusing on job demands, job control, and their combinations, alongside the moderating role of job support. Analyzing data from the 2019 China Social Work Longitudinal S…
A decade of insecurity paradox in contemporary China, 2008–2017
As a primary component of human development program, sense of insecurity (SI) is widely voiced yet unstudied, particularly in developing countries that have gone through a rapid transition, such as China. To map the trend of SI in China, we identify two types, sense of personal insecurity (SPI) and sense of social insecurity (SSI), that have shown opposite trends from 2008 to 2017. While SPI has been declining, SSI seems to grow. To address the e…
Discovering childhood in contemporary China: Toward a multisystems perspective
Despite the remarkable improvements that have been achieved in the field of child development in contemporary China, there remain daunting challenges. To explore and address these issues, we organize this special issue “Child development in contemporary China: Toward a multisystems perspective.” In this collection, we introduce theoretically‐informed empirical research conducted by scholars worldwide and organize these research articles into four…
Intergenerational co-residence and young couple’s time use in China
Intergenerational families play an important role in providing informal care and support. However, how the intergenerational living arrangements shape the time allocation of young couples remains unclear, and a more comprehensive analysis, where downward support and upward support are distinguished, is needed. Using the “2008 Chinese Time Use Survey” and the seemingly unrelated regression, we document how paid work time, housework and adult care …
Searching for the Rainbow Connection: Regional Development and LGBT Communities in China
China is estimated to have 70 million lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people, and in recent decades, the LGBT movement has seen rapid growth. However, because of the unavailability of data, a comprehensive understanding of the degree of regional development of the Chinese LGBT movement has been unavailable. By analyzing keyword search volumes for LGBT-related terms on Baidu (the largest internet search engine in China) from 2009 th…
The greener, the happier? The effects of greenspace on residents' happiness in contemporary urban China
In recent years, research has begun to touch upon the associations between the natural environment and individuals' subjective wellbeing; however, whether such associations would vary among different groups of people remains under‐studied. Using four waves (2010–2013) of data from the Chinese General Social Survey, we investigate the group‐specific correlation between environment—specifically, greenspace exposure—and individuals' happiness in con…
Social prediction: A new research paradigm based on machine learning
Sociology is a science concerned with both the interpretive understanding of social action and the corresponding causal explanation, process, and result. A causal explanation should be the foundation of prediction. For many years, due to data and computing power constraints, quantitative research in social science has primarily focused on statistical tests to analyze correlations and causality, leaving predictions largely ignored. By sorting out …
Family status and women's career mobility during urban China's economic transition
BACKGROUND: In contrast to the historical experience of Western welfare states, where social and family policies help create more integrated public-private spheres, marketization in China has presented a case of sphere separation. This phenomenon has important implications for the dynamics of gender inequality in economic transition. OBJECTIVE: This article examines how family status is associated with women's career mobility in reform-era urban …
Migration status, emotional engagement, and social exclusion in Chinese schools
INTRODUCTION: Since migration has become one of the pressing issues of our time, the school engagement of migrant children in the destination cities has drawn increasing scholarly attention. While most existing studies have focused on the cognitive and behavioral dimensions of school engagement of migrant children compared to local children, the emotional dimension has received less scholarly attention. Using a large-scale, national representativ…
The association between PM2.5 exposure and suicidal ideation: A prefectural panel study
We innovatively proposed the measure of suicidal ideation and provided suggestive evidence of a positive association between suicidal ideation and PM 2.5 level
The werther effect revisited: Do suicides in books predict actual suicides
Mapping Public Concerns of Electronic Cigarettes in China
E-cigarettes have gained growing visibility in recent years. However, there lacks a panoramic image of e-cigarette concerns, particularly in low-income countries, such as China. Studying the public concern at a macro level may help reveal the development of the e-cigarette market, and potential health burden of a province as a whole, which is crucial for the policy regulation of the e-cigarette market, and for the allocation of medical resources …
Guanxi Networking, Associational Involvement, and Political Trust in Contemporary China
Much scholarly attention has been devoted to the subject of whether and how social connections affect political trust. China provides a critical case because of the unique guanxi networks and the symbiosis between the state and non-governmental associations. In the Chinese context, this analysis proposes that: 1) informal social ties impair political trust since guanxi networking offers provisional publics the transmission of political stimuli, 2…
Foreign Domestic Helpers Hiring and Women's Labor Supply in Hong Kong
Based on the data from Hong Kong Panel Study of Social Dynamics (HKPSSD), this article investigates the effect of hiring foreign domestic helpers (FDH) on married women’s labor supply in Hong Kong. The results show, hiring FDHs promotes female’s labor force participation in Hong Kong, increases the amount of time they spend on paid work, and reduces their share of housework. Further analysis suggests that the effects of hiring helpers vary substa…
Mapping Public Concerns About Class Immobility in China
The Health Consequences of Social Mobility in Contemporary China
Although numerous studies have shown the importance of an individual's socioeconomic status on his or her self-rated health status, less well-known is whether self-perceived class mobility, a measure highly correlated with an individual's de facto social class and past mobility experiences, affects self-rated health. In this paper, we attempt to fill the gap by examining how perception of class mobility is associated with self-rated health. Using…

Dynamics of the Gender Earnings Inequality in Reform-Era Urban China
This article examines the differential impacts of marketisation and economic development on gender earnings inequality in reform-era urban China. Based on data from the 2005 population mini-census with prefecture-level statistics, we distinguish the effect of economic development from that of marketisation on the gender earnings gap. Multi-level analyses reveal that marketisation and economic development have affected gender inequality in differe…
Gender Difference in Early Occupational Attainment: The Roles of Study Field, Gender Norms, and Gender Attitudes
Drawing data from the Beijing College Student Panel Survey, this article examines how study fields would influence gender disparities in early occupational attainment in China. Results from multinomial logistic regression show that women are more likely than men to become office clerks, a typically female-dominated occupation. Gender disparities in professional/technical occupations are largely attributed to women’s underrepresentation in science…
Resource Bargaining and Gender Display in Housework and Care Work in Modern China
This paper analyses data from the Chinese Women’s Status Survey 2010 to investigate how dual-earning couples allocate routine housework, nonroutine housework, and care work between spouses based on their relative income and working time. Women spend more time on housework and take on a higher amount of routine domestic work (e.g., cooking and cleaning) and care work (e.g., childcare). Men share a higher proportion of nonroutine domestic work (e.g…

Changing Ethnic Stratification in Contemporary China
This article investigates the temporal trend in the socioeconomic differentials between ethnic minorities and the Han majority in China. Data from a series of population censuses and a mini-census show that, while the regional distribution of ethnic minorities remained relatively stable from 1982 to 2005, occupational segregation and educational disparities between minorities and the Han increased over time. Multivariate analysis of data from the…
