社会阶层评价指标研究的演进、成就与困境

从社会阶层界定、社会阶层评价指标、社会阶层评价指标的成就和社会阶层评价指标的不足四个方面来梳理西方和中国关于社会阶层评价指标的文献。研究发现，社会阶层评价指标的选取会影响社会阶层划分结果和对社会结构变迁地认识，我国相关研究已经取得了不少成就，形成了具有中国特色的社会阶层结构理论，但也存在划分标准与划分基础单一、结果不具可比性等问题。因此，有必要建立一套具有科学性、合理性、动态性、适用性的评价指标体系。

Social Class: A Literature Review—A Study Based on the Evaluation Indices

This paper reviews the Western and Chinese literature on social class evaluation indicators from the perspectives of the definition of social class, social class evaluation indices, achievements of social class evaluation indices and deficiencies of social class evaluation indices. The study finds that the selection of evaluation indices affects the results of social class division and the understanding of social structure changes. Related research in China has made many achievements, forming a social structure theory with Chinese characteristics. Meanwhile there are still some problems such as simple division criteria and division basis making the results incomparable. Therefore it is necessary to establish a scientific, rational, dynamic, and applicable evaluation index system.
