Aspirations and Opportunity Structures: 13-Year Olds in Areas with Restricted Opportunities.
Furlong, Andy; Cartmel, Fred
British Journal of Guidance and Counselling, v23 n3 p361-75 Oct 1995
Examines occupational and educational aspirations and expectations of 13-year olds as influenced by local opportunity structures. It is argued that differences in aspirations and expectations are largely explained by the socioeconomic location of families rather than by the structure of the local labor market. (FC)
