Overview

Analysis shows persistent educational inequality in countries over time, highlighting regional convergence within nations.

Key Points

  • Educational inequality varies significantly across Europe, with regions within countries contributing notably to overall differences.
  • Data from the European Social Survey (2002-2020) reveals a lack of convergence in educational inequality between countries.
  • Using a hierarchical linear probability model, findings suggest intra-country convergence amidst regional disparities.
  • Regional variations account for 15 to 33 percent of the educational inequalities observed across European territories.
