| In today’s China,the middle-income group is undoubtedly highly regarded.The healthy development and maturity of middle-income group is related to the success or failure of China’s reform and the stability of the future society.Middle-income group may be either“stabilizers”for maintaining social order,or " subversive devices”that challenge the current system,or swaying " attachers " whose social functions change with social structure and stratum structure.And change.Fully understand the process of change in the social function of China’s middle-income group since the reform and opening up and the influencing factors behind it,and build its social stability function,which has an important impact on the realization of the "Chinese Dream."This paper takes the social function of middle-income group in China as the research object,analyzes the changes process and characteristics of social function in China’s social transition period,and discusses the construction strategy of its social stability function.The article is divided into six parts.The introduction expounds the research background and research significance of this thesis,and summarizes the related literatures on the social function of middle-income group at home and abroad.At the same time,it introduces the theoretical framework and research methods.On the basis of clarifying the concepts of "middle income group" and " social stability",the first chapter reviews the main theoretical achievements of structural functionalism and embodies the analysis paradigm of "structure-function" as " social structure-hierarchy".The analysis framework of experience-hierarchical characteristics-social function divides the structure that affects the social function of middle-income group into a macro social structure and a micro-level structure.The three macro factors of economic development,political order,and ideology,as well as the three micro-factors of class size,class interest,class consciousness and subjective identity,were selected to construct a factor analysis model that affects the social function of middle-income group.The second chapter examines the performance of social function of middle-income group in China during the 40 years of reform and opening up,and analyzes the logic behind its changes.The third chapter summarizes the characteristics of the social function of middle-income group in China.The fourth chapter puts forward the strategy of building social stability function of middle-income group.Finally,the paper argues that the role of middle-income group in social stability cannot be determined a priori,but depends on the benign interaction between the various elements of society and the deep connotation construction within their strata.Based on the perspective of structural function and combining the existing research results of social functions of middle-income group at home and abroad,this paper attempts to discuss the performance logic of social function of middle-income group through variable deduction and enrich the functional research of middle-income group. |
