Socio-economic background of students
Students lacking a tertiary education background - those from families without parental tertiary educational attainment of higher education - form a critical demographic in the diversity and inclusion efforts within higher education policy. Students' educational experiences are strongly related to the parental education levels and occupational/financial status of their parents. Given the pervasive patterns, this chapter delves into the relationship between students' parental socio-economic conditions and their educational experiences in higher education, analysing how these factors contribute to ongoing disparities. Besides analysing parental education and financial status, the chapter looks into the study situation and availability of study resources depending on parental background. Subjective assessment of the study situation, including sense of belonging and drop-out intention, are also analysed.
