In the Norwegian national context, the broad educational attainment
and performance of ethnic minority groups living in the country is
below average. Advocates of the human capital theory have presented
convincing evidence of the private and social returns of
educational endeavors. As such, Higher Education is seen as a
critical 'capital' with regard to individuals' social mobility and
consequent levels of socio-economic well-being. Quality of Life has
emerged in recent years as a key policy-instrument used to measure
and tackle socio-economic inequalities amongst inhabitants and
across regions. This conceptual perspective provides a 'holistic'
notion of life and living beyond traditional econometric
assessments used by some social scientists.The analysis provided in
this report brings together the (often) dissociated concepts of
'quality of life', 'ethnic minorities', and 'higher education'. The
study sheds light on the nature of the impacts (direct and
indirect) of individuals' higher education experiences on the
different domains of their quality of life, where, overall, a
positive contribution is shown.
