| Abstract: | Using the cumulative logit model, this paper analyses inequalities in educational outcomes (as: IEO) by class of family of origin in Italy and Spain for five 10-year cohorts born btw. 1920 and 1969. It is questioned whether with expanding education the class IEO's remained stable or diminished. With the exception of a few countries, the dominant view in the 1990s is that inequalities persisted. During the current decade, the consensus on this is changing, and decreasing class IEO is now more often found. Italy has been given as an example of educational expansion while maintaining class IEO. Spain was not included in previous analyses. It is shown clearly that class IEO diminished in Spain and also in Italy. Differences in the timing of expansion and change in IEO can be due to the different institutional settings by country. A more contained reduction of IEO is found in Spain than in Italy. |
