Abstract | Nationally representative data sets are used to compare the pattern of social class inequality in educational attainment ... during the twentieth century. Logit models are estimated to test hypotheses about change in class inequalities at crucial branching points in the educational system. Our analyses show that equalizations are apparent in both nations at the first branching point (transition to secondary school), where traditionally inequalities were most severe. Working class children increased their odds of clearing the first educational hurdle relative to the offspring of the service class. In Sweden, children of farmers reduced their great initial disadvantage. Surprisingly, the trends involving the working classes are remarkably similar in England and Sweden. We find little evidence that any general causal mechanism was behind the equalization, and it cannot be interpreted unambiguously as the result of specific educational reforms or expansion programmes.
