随着义务教育政策的普及和国家教育体系的完善，教育分层与职业分化成为当前新生代农民阶层生产与分化的重要作用机制。长期以来，受村庄收入结构影响，我国绝大部分农村保持着“有分化无分层”的社会形态，维续了村落阶层结构的均衡性和模糊性。然而，城市优质教育资源的开放和教育体系的完善，尤其是现代职业教育的快速发展，使劳动力再生产的“村庄—家庭”结构被打破，新一代农民并非直接进入全国普通劳动力市场，而是在基础教育阶段以家际的教育竞争形成教育分层，进而在校内专业竞争中继续生产劳动力价值和进一步素质分化，最终形成职业层级分化，新生代农民开始真正意义上的阶层生产。

With the popularization of compulsory education policy and the improvement of national education system, education stratification and vocational differentiation have become the important influence mechanism of the production of the second generation of agriculture. For a long time, influenced by the middle income structure of villages, most of the rural areas in China have maintained the social form of “divided or not stratified”, and maintained the balance and fuzziness of the village stratum structure. However, the opening of urban high quality education resources and the improvement of education system, especially the rapid development of modern vocational education, make the second generation of farmers not directly enter the national general labor market,but form educational stratification through the education competition among families in the basic education stage,and then continue to produce further differentiation of labor value and quality in the professional competition in the school, and finally form the division of professional level. The second generation of farmers also formed the real sense of stratum production.
