Synopsis

This book offers a comparative study of change in educational stratification in 13 industrialized countries, exploring societal conditions that help reduce inequalities in educational opportunity. The contributors show that in most industrialized countries inequalities in educational opportunity have been remarkably stable since the early twentieth century. In all 13 countries the gender gap in education has narrowed; in some, women now attain higher mean levels of education than men. Highlighting these conclusions, the book develops new methods to deal with observed and unobserved sources of heterogeneity in models of educational attainment.
