Abstract: | Based on a nation-wide survey of higher education graduates, this paper analyzes the impact of family background, using paternal
occupation and education as indicators, on their scores in the National College Entrance Examination, the level and type of
higher education institutions they attend, their employment after graduation, and the income they receive from their first
job. It has been found that there are wide disparities among students with different family backgrounds in both access to
higher education and their potential employment in China nowadays. This paper also studies how those influences happen.
