This book contributes to the contemporary discussion on IEO with a focus on individual trajectories over the life course. It provides empirical evidence on the magnitude and the mechanisms of IEO in Colombia, a country with extreme, persistent levels of social inequality. Using national administrative databases, the author examines the effect of social origin on academic and labor market outcomes among university graduates. Drawing on a comprehensive theoretical approach to stratification and higher education, this volume discusses how the interaction between family background and segmentation of educational institutions might influence individuals' outcomes. As such, it will appeal to scholars, policy makers, and practitioners with interests in education, social inequality, social policy, higher education research, and international/comparative education.EducationLabor MarketUnequal OpportunitiesEqualitySociologyEducational InequalitiesAcademic Achievement StudiesEducational Effectiveness ResearchProduction Function StudiesSchool EffectivenessIntergenerational Mobility StudiesModeling StudiesComparative StudiesAcademic AchievementHuman Capital TheoryRational Choice TheoryTheory of IndustrialismPersistent InequalitiesBildungsmanagementEducationLabor MarketUnequal OpportunitiesEqualitySociologyEducational InequalitiesAcademic Achievement StudiesEducational Effectiveness ResearchProduction Function StudiesSchool EffectivenessIntergenerational Mobility StudiesModeling StudiesComparative StudiesAcademic AchievementHuman Capital TheoryRational Choice TheoryTheory of IndustrialismPersistent InequalitiesBildungsmanagementCuenca Hernández Andreaaut1220745WaxmannWaxmannBOOK9910557711903321Un)Equal Pathways to Higher Education2827365UNINA
