Demography and Social Class: The Fluctuating Demand for Higher Education in Britain.
Shattock, Michael
European Journal of Education, v16 n3-4 p381-92 1981
The number of full-time students in higher education in Britain (lower than expected) is examined. The decline in the age participation rate is seen, in part, as a reflection of disillusionment among parents, young people, and politicians over the benefits of higher education both to the individual and to society.
