In this paper, we examine the extent to which geographical distance to educational institutions may moderate young people’s applications to upper secondary education in terms of both the track and the gender-(a)typicality of vocational fields of study they apply to. Our study relies on rich register-based data of complete cohorts of 16-year-olds applying to Finnish upper secondary institutions, linked with geographical information on their closest educational alternatives. We find that travel time to the academic track is more decisive than the distance to vocational schools, with geographical accessibility being more significant for boys’ rather than for girls’ application patterns. Moreover, distance sensitivity varied by social origin, with daughters of low-educated parents and sons of medium-educated parents particularly likely to adjust their upper secondary application to the geographical accessibility of educational alternatives. However, we find some indications that particularly girls from lower-educated social backgrounds are more prepared to consider fields of study not typical for their gender if they are more geographically accessible than key alternatives. No such gender-atypical substitutions were evident among boys. We discuss the implications of these findings in the context of explanatory approaches based on risk aversion and (gender) socialization.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47384,"journal":{"name":"Research in Social Stratification and Mobility","volume":"89 ","pages":"Article 100879"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0276562423001233/pdfft?md5=9b10064d79209f998312a6b62e3fa555&pid=1-s2.0-S0276562423001233-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138826954","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our findings reveal that adult women in their 30s and 40s from all-girls high schools are more likely to earn at least a bachelor’s degree, work full time, enjoy competition, take risks, and hold more positive attitudes towards working mothers compared to those from coeducational high schools. The effects of all-boys schools are not statistically significant across most outcomes. Our research highlights the potential of single-sex schooling, particularly all-girls schools, to help address gender inequality in Korea. This study fills a gap in the research by looking at the long-term impacts of single-sex high-school education on six work-related outcomes and suggests that such schools can help reduce gender disparities.

Prior research, however, has rarely considered how the effect of parenthood on women’s income may also depend on the characteristics of their partners. Using data from the China Family Panel Studies 2010–2018, we examine how the effects of motherhood on women’s earnings and within-couple income inequality vary by couples’ educational pairings in China. A large educational gap between spouses–hypergamy or hypogamy–exacerbates the motherhood penalty on a woman’s individual income and her share of the couple’s combined income. However, when the educational gap between spouses is moderate, hypergamy lessens the motherhood penalty on women’s individual income, whereas hypogamy mitigates the penalty on their share of couples’ combined earnings. In the context of China’s declining fertility, narrowing gender gap in education, and widening gender pay gap, these findings provide descriptive empirical evidence on how the motherhood penalty varies by educational assortative mating and underscore the significance of considering couple dynamics in understanding the motherhood penalty.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47384,"journal":{"name":"Research in Social Stratification and Mobility","volume":"89 ","pages":"Article 100873"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0276562423001178/pdfft?md5=924c41695048566adcce8996b750af0b&pid=1-s2.0-S0276562423001178-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139021739","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using all applications submitted in 2022 to National Taiwan University, the most prestigious university in Taiwan, we show who among the applicants would have been admitted under the country’s prior college admission system, which was entirely based on high-stakes standardized test scores, and contrast them with those actually admitted in the current system, which emphasizes holistic evaluations and considers many other criteria. The results indicate that for the majority of students the admission outcomes would be unchanged. Even among those whose outcomes would differ, class backgrounds are not clearly related to the direction of change in the outcome. Rather than students of upper- or lower-class backgrounds, women are the unequivocal beneficiary from the decreased reliance on high-stakes standardized tests. The analysis suggests that the better high school grades and more comprehensive application materials submitted by women applicants contribute to a considerable part of the female advantage in a more holistic admission system.

Data comes from the US Panel Study of Income Dynamics on a sample of youth followed from mid-adolescence until the age of 20. Results from linear regression models indicate that parental wealth was associated with increases in the probability of college attendance and steady employment and inversely associated with the likelihood of nonmarital birth and idleness. Grandparental wealth predicted non-educational outcomes at least as well as parental wealth did and explained more variance in young adults’ outcomes when parental wealth was lower. The association between parental wealth and non-educational outcomes suggest that wealth may inform young adults’ broader life course by predicting outcomes other than college attendance. Grandparental wealth may serve a compensatory function for children with low parental wealth.

Based on a comprehensive survey of current inequalities in Korea, three dimensions of subjective inequality (perception, belief, and discontent) are explored over two principal domains of inequality (opportunities and outcomes). In particular, the new measure of subjective inequality, inequality discontent, is first developed and proposed in this study. The results show that Koreans perceive the level of outcome inequalities (income and wealth) as higher than opportunity inequalities (education and employment), but interestingly, they also believe that inequality of outcomes should be higher than that of opportunities. The level of discontent, however, was found to be equally high across all domains and areas. The utility of discontent as a new concept of subjective inequality is empirically tested against regression analysis of redistributive government interventions. This emphasis on the multi-dimensional and domain-specific understanding of inequalities better elucidates the public’s reactions to socioeconomic inequalities and enables the development of more appropriate inequality policies in Korea and beyond.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47384,"journal":{"name":"Research in Social Stratification and Mobility","volume":"89 ","pages":"Article 100875"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0276562423001191/pdfft?md5=8205726a66e93574fe8e55caff14ffb1&pid=1-s2.0-S0276562423001191-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138689131","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
