In this book, scholars from 15 countries, representing Western and Eastern Europe, East Asia, Israel, Australia, and the United States, show how this expansion benefits all social classes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"This book represents a very important source of scholars interested in the effects of education on inequality.\"—\u003ci\u003eLancaster University\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Each of these findings is far more variable and nuanced than a short summary can suggest. The case studies then increase our understanding of the interaction among all these variables... This work is so engrossing and enlightening that... [i]f the findings presented here were to be carefully studied, thought through and applied to changes in our postsecondary systems, a welcome drop in inequality might result.\"—\u003ci\u003eCanadian Journal of Sociology\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"This book is likely to serve as a watershed. It represents the first incorporation of labor market datasets from 15 countries (Israel, Japan, South Korea, Sweden, Taiwan, the United States, Great Britain, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Russia, Switzerland, Australia, the Czech Republic, and Italy) to test a common set of propositions... This book provides strong evidence for supporting the expansion of higher education on the traditional grounds of providing social opportunity. Expanding the \"educational pie\" is an equalizing force, and neither private financing nor diversity in purpose and quality is inconsistent with inclusion and social equity. This creative and insightful analysis should become standard reading in all programs of higher education concerned with expansion and social equity.\"—\u003ci\u003eReview of Higher Education\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"This book provides rich details about the institutional arrangements, history, and issues related to funding and access in higher education systems throughout the industrialized world. Its comprehensive comparative analysis of major changes occurring in higher education everywhere offers insights into stratification and educational expansion that will provoke debate and spark future research.\" —Claudia Buchmann, The Ohio State University\u003cbr\u003e\"This volume provides a model of conceptually rich and methodologically rigorous analyses of the expansion of higher education and its implications for social outcomes. It represents collaborative research at its best. The insights generated by this research suggest social policies that should further broaden access to higher education.\"—Maureen T.
