Inégalités de formation lors de l’accès à l’enseignement supérieur selon le sexe et le contexte migratoire: résultats de l’analyse des situations suisse, allemande et française

The paper deals with the transition to Higher Education focusing on educational
inequalities at the intersection of gender and migrant background. At
the core of the analyses, theorized referring to decision theory, is a comparison
of Switzerland (TREE), Germany (HIS-Studienberechtigte 2002) and France
(Panel d’élèves du second degré 1995). Results indicate increased transition rates
to Higher Education for second-generation males from some socially disadvantaged
migrant groups for Switzerland and Germany, if controlled for social
origin. Evidence confirming a female disadvantage for second generation females
originating from countries characterised by a rather patriarchal culture were not
found in any of the countries under consideration.
