  2. 11. Inequality in Educational Outcomes : How Aspirations, Performance, and Choice Shape School Careers in Sweden

    Author : Frida Rudolphi; Jan O. Jonsson; Michael Gähler; Anthony Heath; Stockholms universitet; []

    Abstract : This thesis examines different aspects of educational inequalities, drawing on the notion that inequality in educational attainment depends on two separate mechanisms: that children from advantaged social backgrounds perform better at school (primary effects) and tend more than others to choose to continue in education given performance (secondary effects). Study I shows that the long-term decrease in social class inequality in the transition from compulsory to academic upper secondary education since the middle of the mid-20th century up to the late 1990s, seems to be related to both declining primary and secondary effects.
