Description

This Routledge research monograph examines whether socioeconomic inequalities in education are declining across western industrialized countries. Gary N. Marks challenges the widespread assumption that social class background maintains an unchanging grip on educational attainment and occupational outcomes. The book explores how cognitive ability influences education and career prospects, and investigates significant cross-national differences in the relationship between socioeconomic background and both educational and work-related outcomes. Marks argues that conventional views underestimate the capacity for policy interventions and social change to reshape these patterns, presenting evidence that socioeconomic determinism in education is less absolute than commonly believed. Essential reading for researchers, policymakers and educators interested in social mobility, educational inequality and the mechanisms driving occupational class stratification.
