摘　　要：This study examines the influence of family background on the willingness of students in urban and rural China to pursue higher education.Utilizing a mixed-methods approach,the research explores the interplay between economic,cultural,and social capital within the family context and its impact on students’educational aspirations.Descriptive statistics highlight the disparities in family income and educational attainment between urban and rural respondents.Regression analysis confirms the predictive role of family economic status and parental education on students’intentions to pursue higher education.Qualitative findings underscore the significance of social capital,particularly in rural areas where community support is crucial.The study also reveals urban-rural differences in educational aspirations,with urban students facing fewer barriers to higher education.The research concludes with policy implications that aim to address these disparities and enhance educational equity.
