Research on the micro process of a high school student's college choices

随着日本大学入学率的上升，我们对高中生教育和职业选择的关注正从入学考试的“选择”问题转向每个人的“意愿”问题。另一方面，家庭的费用负担能力作为高年级入学的制约因素已经引起了人们的关注。本研究考察了学业能力和费用负担能力在多大程度上决定了高中生上大学的决定，以及主观认知度作为残存因素对他们的决定有何影响。

With the rise of a college-going rate in Japan, our concern in a high school student's educational and career choice is shifting from the issue of "selection" by the entrance examiniation to the issue of "willingness" of each person. On the other hand, the burden-of-expense capability of a household has come to attract attention as a constraining factor over entrance into a school of higher grade.This research examined to what extent academic ability and burden-of-expense capability have determined high school student's decision of going to university, and how subjective recognition, as a residual factor, would have had influence to their decision.
