СОЦИАЛНО НЕРАВЕНСТВО В АМЕРИКАНСКОТО И ГЕРМАНСКОТО ВИСШЕ ОБРАЗОВАНИЕ
SOCIAL INEQUALITY IN AMERICAN AND GERMAN TERTIARY EDUCATION

Summary/Abstract: Against the backdrop of developments in student tuition fees in the USA and the partial charging of fees in some of Germany’s federal states, we shall determine whether and in what measure social inequality exists at US and German universities. Within this framework, we shall examine the extent to which the commodity “university education” is unequally distributed amongst the population (distributive imbalance) and which specific social groups are affected by inequalities of opportunity. In addition, the typical educational behavior of different social strata will be identified and examined in the context of personal contributions to tuition financing in the USA and Germany.
