  • Youth Pathways in Articulated Postsecondary Systems: Enrolment and Completion Patterns of Urban Young Women and Men*
    The Canadian Journal of Higher Education La revue canadienne d'enseignement supérieur Volume XXIX, No. 1,1999 pages 47-46 Youth Pathways in Articulated Postsecondary Systems: Enrolment and Completion Patterns of Urban Young Women and Men* LESLEY ANDRES & HARVEY KRAHN The University of British Columbia & University of Alberta ABSTRACT This paper uses panel survey data to document the postsecondary educational activity of high school graduates in Edmonton and Vancouver over a five-year period. It enquires whether, in "articulated" postsec- ondary systems offering a range of institutional choices and a variety of transfer options, large class and gender differences in participation and completion continue to be observed. The results reveal that even in sys- tems explicitly designed to improve access to and encourage completion of postsecondary programs, family background continues to strongly influence postsecondary outcomes. In both cities, social class advantages appear to be passed from one generation to the next, to a large extent, through the high school tracking system, since high school academic pro- gram is a strong predictor of postsecondary participation and completion. Gender also continues to matter, but in more subtle ways than in the past. * The authors would like to thank several anonymous reviewers for this journal for their helpful comments on an earlier draft of this paper. We wish to acknowledge the sup- port received from the Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada in the form of a strategic research grant in the theme area of Education and Work in a Changing Society. The grant has enabled the co-investigators to develop a collabora- tive network in order to compare and contrast their longitudinal data sets.
