Guppy, Neil; Pendakur, Krishna
Canadian Journal of Higher Education, v19 n1 p49-62 1989
Data from 1974-75 and 1983-84 Canadian national studies are used to explore the impact of gender and parental education on student decisions to enroll full- or part-time, choose college or university, and enroll in different fields. Results show both factors play decisive roles, with family background influencing men and women differentially. (MSE)
