Abstract

Australia's “‘wage-earners’ welfare state” policy highlights the state dominance and the benefits enjoyed by workers, leading to a relatively open intergenerational mobility pattern, which is different from other capitalist economies such as the United States. Australia's intergenerational mobility model has implications for China, and the comparative analysis between China and Australia has become a significant research direction.

澳大利亚的“工薪阶层福利国家”政策，凸显国家主导，工人享有实惠，导致代际阶层流动较为开放，有别于美国等其他资本主义经济体。澳大利亚的代际流动模式对中国有启示作用，而中澳比较分析成为一个重要的研究方向。
