Rurality and Capital: Educational Expectations and Attainments of Rural, Urban/Rural and Metropolitan Youth.
Andres, Lesley; Looker, E. Dianne
Canadian Journal of Higher Education, v31 n2 p1-45 2001
Used data from two longitudinal surveys of Canadian youth (in British Columbia and Nova Scotia) to examine the effects of rural versus urban/rural and metropolitan residence on young people's educational expectations and attainments. Findings showed that students in rural areas have lower expectations and attainments compared to other students, even when parental background, gender, and academic stream are controlled. (EV)
