The problem of international class solidification in the post pandemic era -- An analysis based on Marxist theory

Since the outbreak of COVID-19, the pandemic has significantly impacted the global economy and deeply affected social structures and class mobility. It has exacerbated income inequality, employment difficulties, and unequal distribution of social resources, leading to more pronounced social stratification. In China, despite government economic stimulus policies, small and medium-sized enterprises and the service industry have faced severe challenges, resulting in significant unemployment and income reduction among low-income workers. The rise of platform capitalism has introduced new labor relations, raising concerns about labor rights. This study uses a Marxist perspective to analyze post-pandemic social stratification in China, focusing on economic resource distribution, access to educational resources, and the effectiveness of social policies. The objective is to understand the structural causes and propose policy recommendations to promote social equity and mobility.
