?:abstract
  • The paper deals with two aspects related to the possibility of reaching a given educational level conditioned on the educational level of the family: discrimination and opportunity. Ten European countries are ranked according to these indices, showing a different pattern. Consequently, a new index that takes into account the two aspects is proposed. The index proposed here can be used by policy makers to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of public policies. In fact, in contrast to the unidimensional mobility indices, that take into account only one dimension, the new index is able to capture simultaneously two different information: on one hand the difference in the probability of getting tertiary education given the family status and, on the other hand, the probability for a child of not attaining tertiary education independently from the education level attained by his/her parents. Thus, is more informative than the unidimensional indices while preserving a simple functional form that requires an elementary computation. These are two key-properties necessary to define good composite indicators (OECD, 2008). However, our index is defined by assuming that the two dimensions are equally weighted. Therefore, further researches will be devoted to the analysis of how combining these two indices in a different way. For instance, a different system of weights or a different functional form can be used. [Source: From the from conclusion, p. 86] (xsd:string)
