This paper develops an Overlapping Generation Model, which is based on the theory of human capital and the theory of Social Stratification. In the model, individuals choose community to maximize their utility taking account of the differences of the rent and educational quality between different communities. We analyze the reason of the persistency of social stratification and the effect of inequality of educational quality on income inequality. In an empirical study, we estimate the effect of inequality of educational quality on income inequality between different regions in china, and we fred that the effect of the difference of educational quality on the income inequality is significant,but the effect of the difference of educational length on the income inequality is significant in eastern areas but not in non-eastern areas.
