The Education Backlash Hypothesis: The Norwegian Experience 1960-92

Tore Lindbekk

University of Trondheim, Trondheim

The paper surveys recruitment changes in Norwegian education from the 1960s to 1990. The impact of educational background did not diminish during the period. However, that of occupational class receded. The earlier conclusion from several Western countries, that educational equalization stopped after 1960, therefore, does not apply to Norway. However, the particularly large expansion in higher education after 1990 produced an equalization setback. Educational careers in this paper were studied on the basis of a 6 per cent sample of the population born 1954 to 1970. Background data from the 1970 and 1980 censuses were matched with attainment data from the NOS' Educational Registry Data (based upon the annual reports from individual schools). Educational attainment until age 27 was studied for the cohorts born 1954-55 and 1964-65.
