Abstract

The objective of the study is to analyze the current status of involution within Chinese family education and to explore potential response strategies. By integrating a comprehensive review of related literature and data, the study interprets the causes of educational involution from both macro-social and micro-family perspectives. Furthermore, it discusses comprehensive approaches to address the phenomenon of educational involution in Chinese family education, considering the roles of the state, schools, and families. The results of the study revealed that the involution in Chinese family education is driven by various factors, including intense labor market competition, the elite education system, the one-child policy, and societal perceptions of vocational education. The study concludes by recommending multifaceted strategies at the national, school, and family levels to mitigate the issue, emphasizing the importance of balanced development in education and the need for a collective effort from various sectors.
