abstract: 'This paper examines trends in the participation in higher education by
disadvantaged social groups over the recent period of higher education
expansion and reform. It has been suggested that disadvantaged groups
can recoup by participation at mature ages and this question is
examined. The data sources used are the Labour Force Survey (1986-1995),
which yielded 13384 students (6747 men and 6637 women), and the General
Household Survey (1984-1992), which yielded 1936 students (982 men and
954 women). From a perspective of equal opportunities, the relative
participation of young people from manual and non-manual origins does
not appear to have changed over the period considered, but there is some
evidence of increased relative participation by people from manual class
origins as mature students. Mature students from such origins were older
than those from non-manual class origins, as were mature women than
mature men, with consequences for employability. From a perspective of
lifelong learning, the recent expansion has been successful, with more
entrants from the unemployed. Considerable percentages of women also
enter from full-time housework, and increasing percentages from manual
work. However, as in the past, many entrants had been successful in
becoming employed before entry, some being seconded by employers.
Despite these changes, the greatest absolute take-up has been from
middle class youth. Early employment outcomes were examined and suggest
some discrimination against mature students. It is possible that the
increased cost of higher education, in the context of an expanded labour
market of graduates, may deter some mature students.'
