• TITLE: Involution of Becoming Postgraduate Students: Educational Inequality behind the Pursuit of Higher Qualifications by Chinese Youth

  AUTHORS: Ruiyi Cao

  KEYWORDS: Involution, Educational Inequality, Postgraduate Entrance Examination (PGEE), Chinese Youth

  JOURNAL NAME: Advances in Applied Sociology, Vol.14 No.4, April 25, 2024

  ABSTRACT: Involution is used by young Chinese people to describe an irrational or involuntary competition. This kind of involution occurs when Chinese students gain entry to postgraduate programmes. This article analyses the inequalities that exist when Chinese students sit for the Postgraduate Entrance Examination with regard to educational opportunities, processes and outcomes, and suggests that the involution among Chinese youth is a product of these inequalities.
