Achieving a global perspective has become essential under globalization, and thereby both China government and the parents have increased spending on global perspective education. Resource theory posits private and public resources can have positive social impacts. Nevertheless, the independent and interactive impact of private and public resources on global perspective remains underexplored. Through a survey applied on 645 high school students in Shenzhen, China, the results show that only household income has an independent positive effect on global perspective. Notably, there is a positive effect on global perspective from the interaction of household income and district GDP. This possibly suggests the limitations in the manner of public resources distribution. To rectify it, public resources should be more targeting to students in needs to minimize social inequality.
