description

The chapter focusses on the growth of the student population between the 1940s and the 2010s. The author also discusses a number of topics debated during the expansion, such as “over-education” and the relationship between higher education and the labour market. In addition, he analyses the students’ socio-economic background and participation in higher education and the professors’ socio-economic background.
