Description of this Book
Because of major changes in the structure of the New Zealand economy, there have been significant increases in participation in higher education. An important implication of this increase has been the need to reassess the system of funding tertiary education. The introduction of student fees in 1990, and the targeting of allowances since 1992, figure prominently amongst changes which have been the subject of significant controversy and public debate in New Zealand. This book is based on New Zealand and OECD research. The analyses, which span the period from 1980-1995, examine the links between higher education and income distribution, and access to higher education. The theoretical and empirical frameworks utilized incorporate the lifetime nature of education decisions, and use individual level data across census years in various analyses.
