Working Papers from European Institute - Political and Social Sciences

Abstract: During the 1960s Italy reformed its educational system in several important respects. The reform was expected to reduce class inequality in university attendence by raising the odds that working class youth would do so. We find that the liberalization of access to the maturita failed to increase the odds of university attendance by the working class.
