| Summary/Abstract |
Existing literature on educational inequality in China has been preoccupied with large regional disparities. Inter-school inequalities at the local level have been, however, largely ignored. The authors present clear and strong evidence that such inequalities are also large and more entrenched than expected, despite reform efforts since 2006 to increase transfers from the central and provincial governments for schools in poorer areas. Using school-level data from a province in western China, the authors have found that immense inter-school disparities exist in per student government funding within rural counties and urban districts, and that the disparities are considerably larger in more developed counties or districts. More surprisingly, inter-school disparities increased between 2009 and 2013 in nearly every selected county and district. This study highlights the imperative to bring the issue of locally maintained educational inequality to the forefront of academic research and the policy agenda.

| Summary/Abstract |
Population ageing is one of the mega trends of the 21st century. It is a key driver of economic and social transformations as societies with a growing number and share of older adults are making efforts to maintain economic competitiveness and social vibrancy. In the developed world, population ageing is part of the larger post-industrial challenges that catalyse changes to employment, retirement and welfare state institutions.

| Summary/Abstract |
Along with rapid population ageing and extensive policy changes, Chinese attitudes towards elderly care responsibility are shifting. Using nationally representative survey data, this study finds that the proportion of people holding the traditional view that children should be the main elderly care providers decreased from 57 per cent in 2010 to 50 per cent in 2015. Further analyses show that above and beyond individual factors such as gender, age and marital status, social policies and institutions have influenced people's attitudes. Pension coverage, an urban hukou (household registration), and employment in sectors that provide long-standing social programmes and higher pension benefits are factors that may increase people's likelihood to subscribe to an alternative view that the responsibility of elderly care should be shared equally among the government, the child(ren) and the elderly, or mainly undertaken by the government or by the elderly themselves.

| Summary/Abstract |
A large body of research has shown growing class inequalities in educational attainment in post-Mao China. The more advantaged families have benefited more from educational expansion and development. This article argues that class inequalities in education are unlikely to decline under the Xi Jinping leadership. While Xi makes frequent references to Maoist ideas and concepts, he is also pushing for the “innovation-driven development” strategy, which will continue to stratify China’s educational system in favour of elite schools and universities. At the policy level, there will be initiatives seeking to reduce educational inequality. However, there will not be an overhaul as radical as in the Mao era.
