Abstract

This paper examines how intergenerational educational mobility affects family economic vulnerability using China Household Finance Survey (CHFS) data. The results show that higher educational mobility significantly reduces family economic vulnerability, confirmed by robustness tests. The effect is stronger in regions with higher marketization and among lower-income families. These findings offer valuable insights for policymakers to enhance economic stability by improving educational resources and supporting reforms, addressing educational development, and economic vulnerability issues.
