Abstract: The intergenerational transmission of poverty often aggravates the persistent poverty and low social mobility,which has become a strong resistance in today’s poverty alleviation task.Based on the Box-Cox quantile regression correction model,this paper makes an analysis of the impact of intergenerational poverty transmission on the employment flow of college graduates and the moderating effect of human capital on the spatial effect of intergenerational transmission of poverty.The empirical results show that the intergenerational transmission of poverty suppresses the tendency of graduates’long-distance employment mobility,but the places that accept short-distance employment also stimulate poor graduates to choose to leave their hometowns for employment;and the high-level human capital is conducive to the long-distance employment mobility of the graduates.The adjustment effect coefficient shows a trend of “first decrease then increase”,which further proves that the accumulation of human capital can effectively reduce the barrier of intergenerational poverty to the long-distance employment flow.Therefore,it should be the focus in the design of the future poverty alleviation system to establish and improve the long-term mechanism for poverty alleviation,the mechanism of academic incentive,the mechanism of employment guidance,the employment subsidy system for poor graduates and the public employment information system,so as to reduce the cost of employment,improve human capital,and block the intergenerational transmission of poverty from the root.

Key words: intergenerational poverty, human capital, labor mobility, poverty relief
