Abstract

The final chapter of the book provides a holistic account of the multiple ways social and educational inequalities traverse educational choices and transitions. By articulating the macro, meso and micro levels of analysis that inform the book, and by combining the empirical results of the previous chapters, this concluding chapter critically identifies and analyses five main mechanisms of inequality (structural, systemic, institutional, relational and subjective) that in a clearly interrelated manner mediate the framing, enactment and experiences of upper secondary educational choices and transitions. The identification of these mechanisms represents a significant contribution in the theorising of the relationships between educational transitions and social inequalities that it is suitable to be applied in multiple national and institutional contexts as well as in different transition points within the education system and beyond.
