Veranderende onderwijskansen? Een derde voorbeeld en afrondende conclusies

Samenvatting

To determine the extent to which equal opportunity in the Netherlands has been advanced in the area of education, data from previous research projects (see SA 33:4/85Q0231 & 85Q0210) are subjected to secondary analysis. Two aggregate samples of students (N = 5,216 in 1952 & 1,291 in 1977) are examined, the independent variables including father's profession, sex of student, number of siblings, degree of urbanization, parents' educational level, & choice of secondary school. Some improvements can be reported in overall social mobility; neither the optimism of the 1960s nor the pessimism of the 1970s were warranted, according to these findings. 3 Tables, 2 Figures, 34 References.
