在本文中，我们认为高等教育和家庭背景之间的联系的研究，特别是集中在1958年和1970年出生的两个队列的个人的经验。调查结果表明，在这两个群体的相关时期，教育不平等现象有所增加。具体而言，在此期间，教育成就与父母收入/社会阶层之间的联系得到加强。此外，一个人的实际（测量）能力成为一个更差的预测，他们是否会得到一个学位比以前的情况。在此期间，英国高等教育的扩张似乎使来自富裕家庭的孩子而不是最有能力的孩子受益匪浅。此外，个人在劳动力市场上的成功或失败与其父母的收入关系更加密切，这表明代际流动的程度随着时间的推移而下降。
In this paper, we consider research on links between higher education and family background, focusing particularly on the experiences of two cohorts of individuals born in 1958 and 1970. The findings point to a rise in educational inequality during the period relevant to these two cohorts. Specifically, links between educational achievement and parental income/social class strengthened during this period. Furthermore, a person's actual (measured) ability became a poorer predictor of whether they would get a degree than was previously the case. The expansion of higher education in the UK during this period appears to have disproportionately benefited children from richer families rather than the most able. Furthermore, the labour market success or failure of individuals became more closely connected to their parents' income, revealing a fall in the extent of intergenerational mobility over time.
