Social class refers to the distribution of people into social positions of distinctions. China has gone through many changes in its social structure over time. After 1993: society was divided in several distinct groups, peasants, state and collective-sector workers, professionals, and cadres with administrative and managerial authority.
The number of cadres in the society increased by millions over the years. The cadres, party members and state professional have become the math body of the capitalism class.
Statistics show that in February 2003 29% of the capitalist were communist members and party members.
The majority of china’s populations do not have access to the best of china’s recent improvements. Most modern Chinese young adults do not go to college (entrance is obtained by passing a National Exam –The Gaoka).
In the year 2000 less than 50% of the population finished junior high, less than 15 % finish high school or vocational school.
In modern China the distinction is made between urban and rural dwellers. Moving from rural to urban status is very difficult. Urban life is comes with better living standards and opportunities for such advantages as education are much better in the cities. Incomes and living standards in China's cities are two to three times higher than in the countryside. The majority of the rural population makes poor income except and have less access to food and education.
