Research Project
Equity of access to higher education and intergenerational educational mobility in welfare state regimes
Education is historically the welfare states’ mandate. However, higher education is commonly perceived to differ from other social policies. Because of massification, higher education produces enormous consequences for the distribution of skills, income, and wealth within the political economy of contemporary welfare states. Although enrollment in higher education has increased, university education has not become more evenly distributed in societies.
The goal of the research is to contribute to an understanding of how differentiation of educational opportunities in tertiary education relates to the context of modern welfare states. The study draws on the framework of welfare state regimes and сross-country comparative data to scrutinize how political economy of contemporary welfare states shapes the conditions (institutional design) and outcomes (accessibility) of higher education distribution in society.
Three questions will be addressed:
- What are the patterns of institutional design of higher education for different welfare state models, why do they differ and how do they affect inequality in higher education distribution?
- How does political partisanship relate to accessibility of higher education within varying political economy context (economic coordination mode, redistribution patterns in social policy)?
- How can outcomes of higher education distribution impact redistributive preferences and popular perceptions of educational policy alternatives?
This study contributes to scholarly research in several ways. First, this study attempts to conceptualize higher education as a welfare good in addressing long-standing issues of educational inequality. Second, the ambition of this research is to zoom into this black box, and to bridge the macro-level context of the welfare state with the meso-level of higher education institutional design and the micro-level individual predictors. Finally, the study is to investigate not only advanced European economies but also transitional countries, which with few exceptions were not considered in this context. The results of the study can be useful for designing policy interventions to improve participation in higher education and equity of access, taking into account the macro-level context and the national distributional model.
