Abstract

Whether it is Japan or China, both are stratified societies. Inequality affects education. In education, James Samuel Coleman suggests that social capital can compensate for the negative impact of class inequality status on education. Based on the knowledge that the bonding social capital affects GPA, the factors affecting both were explored in terms of region, gender, number of brothers, intention to study, economic capital and parents' occupation and education. The results showed that among Japanese university students, the father's occupation and education were the influential factors affecting the bonding social capital and GPA of university students. In China, on the other hand, among the influencing factors affecting parents' bonding social capital and GPA, the father's occupation and education were important factors, but the intention to study was also important. Thus, in both Japan and China, it is obvious that the father's occupation and education have a strong influence on university students' GPA, even though the bonding social capital plays a role in it. However, in China, more emphasis is placed on the impact of study intention on university students' GPA.
