Abstract

This paper makes a field investigation on the after-school arrangement of the children from migrant families of ethnic minorities and working-class families in Hohhot. The investigation shows that the arrangement of the after-school world of the migrant children of ethnic minorities presents a "parent-centered" mode, which makes the families of migrant children of ethnic minorities have "children who turn around their parents" and "parents who are too busy to be numb". However, the arrangement of children's after-school world in urban working-class families presents a "child-centered" model, which makes urban working-class families have "parents who turn around their children" and "children who develop morally, intellectually, physically and beautifully". With the effective implementation of the double reduction policy, the burden of schoolwork gradually fades in children's after-school life, and family education gradually becomes the key factor affecting children's after-school world arrangement. In terms of family education, children from migrant families of ethnic minorities and urban working-class families have heterogeneous family cultural capital, which strengthens the unequal social reproduction process through intergenerational mobility.
