政府最近提出了高等教育入学率不同的问题。这份文件的总体目的是提供一个例子，说明为查明与某些青年群体的高等教育参与率低有关的因素所需的那种详细研究。许多研究表明，除了教育程度外，社会阶层、性别和父母教育等问题也影响年轻人接受高等教育的可能性。本文对一系列具有全国代表性的数据进行了探索性分析，并通过统计模型确定了影响年轻人接受高等教育和参加学位课程的机会的因素。通过样本计数这一创新的统计方法，我们能够量化这些因素的实质性影响。我们发现，扣除教育程度后，许多因素(例如性别和社会背景变量)会影响年轻人进入高等教育并参加学位课程的可能性。此外，我们的分析突出了父母教育和学校教育的相互交织的影响，并讨论了种族影响的复杂性。
The government has recently raised the issue of differential rates of participation in higher education. The overall aim of this paper is to present an example of the kind of detailed research necessary to identify factors associated with low rates of participation in higher education by some groups of young people. A number of studies have suggested that in addition to educational attainment, issues such as social class, gender and parental education also influence a young person's likelihood of entering higher education. In this paper we undertake exploratory analysis of a series of nationally representative data and through statistical modelling we then identify the factors that influence a young person's chances of entry into higher education and participating on a degree level course. Through sample enumeration, an innovative statistical methodology, we were then able to quantify the substantive effects of these factors. We found that net of educational attainment a number of factors (e.g. gender and social background variables) influence the likelihood of a young person entering higher education and participating on a degree level course. In addition our analysis highlights the interwoven effects of parental education and schooling and we discuss the complex nature of the effects of ethnicity.
