Education systems and inequalities
Education Systems and Inequalities explores how various national education systems shape and perpetuate social disparities. It examines mechanisms through which education systems generate unequal outcomes based on factors like social background, gender, ethnicity, migration status, and ability. Drawing on international comparative research, the book analyzes structural features—such as tracking, standardization, and vocational orientation—and their social embeddedness. It further investigates how educational inequalities extend into labor market opportunities, status attainment, health, and broader life chances.
