“…A previous study analyzed the average cost for undergraduate students attending certain colleges and universities in Beijing and found that students must bear a minimum personal cost of 11,596 RMB every year ( Shen and Luo, 2021 ). The cost of higher education for economically disadvantaged families has decreased in recent years due to the improvement of the national scholarship and student loan system.…”

This paper employs Bourdieu’s theory of capital—focusing on family cultural, social, and economic capital—to research the early-stage mechanism through which access to higher education is formed. While all three types of capital play a significant role in acquiring higher education, most studies tend to focus on just one type of capital. In recent years, domestic scholars have also analyzed in detail the family factors affecting children’s access to higher education (CAHE); however, they have not yet explained the mechanism by which these factors influence CAHE, and authentic tests are rare. Therefore, based on existing research, this paper uses the theoretical concept of family capital to reveal how contemporary Chinese families affect their CAHE. This paper analyzes the relationship between family capital, social stratification, and access to higher education opportunities using an econometric model based on baseline data from the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) from 2010 to 2020, with 10,318 participants, including 4,419 females and 5,899 males. The results of a binary logistic regression analysis show that the possession of family cultural and economic capital has a direct positive influence on CAHE. Children from the elite stratum often benefit more from the accumulation of family cultural capital. Moreover, although it does not form a distinct stratum, the possession of family social capital also significantly influences children’s access to higher education. Driven by China’s political, economic, and social environment, some children from the blue-collar stratum have a comparative advantage in terms of access to higher education. The possession of family capital is an important factor in the stratification of CAHE, and cultural capital is the most influential type of capital. Parents with a low level of education should be encouraged to become engaged in schools and communities to take professional courses in assisted learning, emotional counseling, decision-making, and voluntary service.

As an important subject of the regional innovation system, the scientific research activities of universities are not only the power source of talent cultivation and knowledge innovation but also an important force to promote regional innovation development. This paper examines the influence relationship between knowledge spillover from universities in Sichuan province and Chongqing city and regional innovation capacity from the aspects of teaching and research personnel input, research and development personnel input in research input, monographs, academic papers, technology transfer contracts and transfer income in research output. The results show that the improvement of the innovation capacity in Sichuan province and Chongqing city depends on the increase of teaching and research personnel input and the number of scientific and technological topics in universities, while other indirect scientific research results do not contribute significantly to the regional innovation capacity; further mechanism analysis reveals that the knowledge spillover from universities mainly promotes the improvement of regional innovation capacity through human capital, physical capital, and scientific and technological innovation.
