Abstract The middleincome group is not only an important participant, supporter and contributor in China′s economic and social development, but also a promoter of the popularization and the highquality of higher education. Furthermore, the expansion of this group could provide necessary conditions for China to overcome the "middleincome trap". However, the group recently has gradually fallen into some kind of anxiety, among which higher education anxiety becomes an important aspect. In the face of the contradiction between people′s growing needs for a better life and unbalanced and insufficient development in the new era, the anxiety of middleincome groups in the needs for higher education is characterized by universality, profundity, continuity and diffusivity. The increase of middleincome groups is conducive to better narrowing the gap between the rich and the poor, and is an important means to achieve common prosperity. We should rationally recognize that the higher education anxiety of middleincome groups is an accompanying phenomenon in the process of modernization, and a typical feature of the development of middleincome groups. To alleviate the higher education anxiety of middleincome groups, we need to strengthen the supplyside structural reform. Therefore, we should follow the general idea of "holding the bottom line of fairness and adhering to common development; paying attention to the needs of groups and expanding highquality resources; developing educational consumption channels by various means; focusing on the development level and comprehensively improving the quality". We should take relevant measures, including expanding the supply of higher education, promoting the highquality development of higher education, promoting the common development of family members of middleincome groups, ensuring the psychological safety of middleincome families and continuously improving the training ability of higher education, so as to effectively alleviate the anxiety of middleincome groups in higher education and better promote the national economic and social development and the early realization of common prosperity.
