Samenvatting

In this fascinating new study, some of the leading researchers in the field examine how educational qualifications affect the occupational outcomes of men and women, in thirteen countries. The book presents a wealth of rich and detailed information on educational institutions in these countries, and offers rigorous statistical analyses of the associations between qualifications and occupations. The data reveals marked differences between countries in how education shapes occupational attainment, and indicates that these differences are related, in very systematic ways, to the institutional characteristics of school systems.
