Abstract: This study investigates the impact of the cadre parent premium on wages and promotions for the experienced labour force in China. It also explores the underlying transmission channels. Approximately 50% of the cadre parent premium can be explained by the close relationship with government officials, managers, and people in publicly owned enterprises. For the offspring in the above-median income group, the cadre parent premium can be explained by the differences in quality of the human capital and the specific job characteristics.
