Simonová, Natalie, Petr Soukup. 2008. Evolution and Determination of Educational Inequalities in the Czech Republic between 1955 and 2002 in the European Context. Sociologické studie / Sociological Studies 08:3. Praha: Sociologický ústav AV ČR, v.v.i. 59. ISBN 978-80-7330-141-5.

The aim of this work was to identify the trends in the influence of socio-economic, cultural and gender factors in the reproduction of educational inequality in access to tertiary education in the five chosen countries (CR, Switzerland, Sweden, Germany and Poland) between 1955 and 2002. We were eminently interested in seeing whether educational inequality has increased or decreased since 1989, which factor drives the trend and which of the other countries is closest to the Czech context.
