Diverging Pathways follows the careers of a British birth cohort
into early adulthood, presenting a detailed picture of the family
backgrounds and the school and early labour force achievements of
the cohort. The study portrays how the social arrangements of
society's institutions deflect people's achievement patterns.
Different kinds of schools, ability groups within schools, and
differences between industries and firms lead comparable
individuals to achieve at very different levels in society and the
book shows that the cumulative effects of being placed in
advantaged or disadvantaged locations make their achievements
highly divergent in adulthood. The study reports on major career
differences between men and women and describes how the interface
between post-secondary education and the labour force alters some
of the outcomes of elementary and secondary schooling.
