Text of Note

"This edited volume of empirical studies is based on a series of comparable longitudinal research projects that draw on survey and biographical data from important players in the international economy (the United States, Great Britain, Canada, and Germany). The authors analyze the transition patterns of school-leaving cohorts in the last quarter of the 20th century from cross-national, institutional, and individual life-course perspectives. The studies document that social and gender inequality is a persistent structural feature that restricts the possibilities to take advantage of educational opportunities and career options. Furthermore, different institutional arrangements are shown to play a crucial role in distributing transition opportunities in a more equal way."--Jacket.
