摘要
良性的社会流动预期是社会稳定与进步的关键变量。以互联网技术为核心的社会数字化转型为重塑社会流动机制带来了重大变革。本文从主观层面的社会流动预期入手,结合CGSS 2017数据,对互联网使用对社会流动预期的影响进行定量分析,结果显示:我国公众社会流动预期以“向上流动”与“平行流动”为主,但短距离社会流动成为主流。回归分析结果表明,互联网使用已成为提升公众社会流动预期的重要力量。这一正向效应主要通过增加人力资本与社会资本两个“技术赋能”机制来实现;而公平认知却“遮掩”了上述机制。传统社会阶层的影响在互联网使用与社会流动预期的影响机理中通过“两阶段”实现。在是否使用互联网层面,互联网的普及确实更多地助推了社会不平等的“再生产”。然而,一旦进入使用互联网的阶段,互联网对传统社会弱势阶层社会流动预期的正向效应就会更为显著。上述发现对实现更加人本的数字化转型具有若干启示。
The positive social mobility expectation is a key variable for social stability and progress.The digital transformation of society centered on internet technology has brought significant changes to reshape social mobility mechanisms.We starts from the subjective level of social mobility expectations and combines CGSS2017 data to quantitatively analyze the impact of internet use on social mobility expectations.The results show that in China,public social mobility expectations are mainly“upward flow”and“parallel flow”,but short-term social mobility has become mainstream.Regression analysis shows that internet use has become an important force in enhancing public expectations of social mobility.This positive effect is mainly achieved through the two“technological empowerment”mechanisms of increasing human capital and social capital.However,the perception of fairness obscures the aforementioned mechanisms.The influence of traditional social classes is achieved through a“twostage”mechanism in the impact of internet use and social mobility expectations.Firstly,at the level of whether or not to use the internet,the popularity of the internet does indeed contribute more to the“reproduction”of social inequality.Nevertheless,once entering the stage of using the Internet,the positive effect of the Internet on the social mobility expectations of traditional disadvantaged groups will be more significant.The above findings have several implications for achieving a more people-oriented digital transformation.
