We use data from the Social Structure in Modern China Survey, which was conducted in 1988 among urban and rural populations of two municipalities and four provinces in mainland China. Both absolute mobility and relative mobility rates are examined with regard to theoretical propositions relevant to industrialism and socialism. Of emerging patterns, we find no evidence in support of increasing upward mobility of the working population. Instead, total mobility and upward mobility from farm origins into manual destinations, and from farm and manual origins into non-manual destinations reflect changing state policies in economic development, control over population movement and sponsorship of farm and working class origins. Trends of social fluidity show no monotonically increasing openness for three ten year cohorts of men and women. Compared with men, class allocation is more strongly related to class origin for women. © Oxford University Press Articles nationallicence CHENG YUAN Policy Studies Institute 100 Park Village East, London NW1 3SR, UK aut DAI JIANZHONG Institute of Sociology, Beijing Academy of Social Sciences aut European Sociological Review Oxford University Press 11/1(1995-05), 17-35 0266-7215 11:1<17 1995 11 eursoj https://doi.org/10.1093/oxfordjournals.esr.a036347 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research-article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1093/oxfordjournals.esr.a036347 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- CHENG YUAN Policy Studies Institute 100 Park Village East, London NW1 3SR, UK aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- DAI JIANZHONG Institute of Sociology, Beijing Academy of Social Sciences aut NATIONALLICENCE 773 0- European Sociological Review Oxford University Press 11/1(1995-05), 17-35 0266-7215 11:1<17 1995 11 eursoj Metadata rights reserved CC BY-NC-4.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 nationallicence BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-oxford
