| dc.description.abstract (摘要) | This study examines how rapid college expansion in Taiwan has reshaped individuals’ subjective social status (SSS). Using six waves of the 1992–2017 Taiwan Social Change Survey and difference-in-differences models, the analysis identifies heterogeneous effects across three counterfactually defined stakeholder groups: always-takers, compliers, and never-takers. Results show that always-takers and never-takers experienced substantive declines in perceived social standing after the expansion, whereas compliers reported moderate gains through newly opened educational opportunities. These findings are robust across gender and supported by the parallel-trend and placebo tests. The results suggest that higher-education expansion, while promoting access, simultaneously reconfigures hierarchies of perceived social worth. The study advances research on social stratification and subjective social status by revealing educational reform as an upstream institutional mechanism that links economic development to perceptions of inequality, underscoring the paradoxical consequences of mass higher education in stratified societies. | |
