Abstract

Introduction: Switzerland's educational expansion has lagged behind other industrialized countries, with fewer youths attending upper secondary schools and attaining tertiary education. This paper examines individual educational trajectories over a long period, considering later achievements and higher vocational qualifications. It also identifies inequalities in educational trajectory patterns based on social and migration background, as well as gender.

Methods: Using Swiss Household Panel (SHP) data from 1999 to 2023, the sample includes 2,580 individuals born between 1939 and 1983.

Results: Findings show an extended education phase over time, with increased higher education and vocational training. Fewer individuals completed their education by age 21 in the 1969-83 cohort compared to earlier cohorts. Three clusters were identified for the 1939-53 cohort, six for the 1954-68 cohort, and three again for the 1969-83 cohort, indicating diversification.

Discussion: Educational trajectory patterns vary significantly among different social groups, highlighting profound inequalities.

瑞士核心教育阶段内外的教育轨迹：基于1999-2023年SHP数据的序列分析。

瑞士的教育扩张落后于其他工业化国家，参加高中和接受高等教育的年轻人较少。本文考察了长期以来的个人教育轨迹，考虑了后来的成就和更高的职业资格。它还确定了基于社会和移民背景以及性别的教育轨迹模式中的不平等。方法：使用1999年至2023年瑞士家庭调查小组（SHP）数据，样本包括1939年至1983年出生的2,580人。结果：调查结果显示，随着时间的推移，教育阶段延长，高等教育和职业培训增加。在1969-83年的队列中，在21岁前完成学业的人比之前的队列少。1939-53年队列确定了3个集群，1954-68年队列确定了6个集群，1969-83年队列确定了3个集群，表明多样化。讨论：不同社会群体的教育轨迹模式差异显著，突出了深刻的不平等。
