根据最近的费用分担政策，世界各地越来越多的家庭依赖学生贷款来支付大学学费。然而，目前尚不清楚大学成本和需要学生贷款的可能性在多大程度上会影响教育早期阶段的决定。本文通过对日本学生及其母亲进行的纵向调查，考察了父母对申请助学贷款的态度和上大学的预期经济负担对高中选择的影响。这篇文章表明，母亲预计会有较大经济负担并反对申请助学贷款的学生，比那些母亲没有预料到并愿意贷款的学生更有可能进入职业高中。此外，在一个高度私有化的教育体系中，下层家庭比上层家庭对高中学校选择中的这些可感知的物质障碍表现出更大的敏感性。
A growing number of families around the world are relying on student loans to pay for university under recent cost-sharing policies. However, it remains unclear to what extent university costs and the likelihood of needing student loans affect decisions in the early stages of education. This article examines the influence of parents’ attitudes towards taking out student loans and anticipated economic burdens for attending university on high school choice, using a longitudinal survey of students and their mothers conducted in Japan. This article shows that students whose mothers anticipate a large financial burden and are averse to taking out student loans are more likely to attend vocational high school than those whose mothers do not so anticipate and are willing to borrow. Furthermore, lower-class families show greater sensitivity to these perceived material barriers in upper secondary school choices than higher-class families when navigating a highly privatised educational system.
