Factors contributing to the (un)fulfilment of employment aspirations of recent Chilean university graduates
The benefits of growth in university enrolments are contingent on the articulation of university expansion with changes in other areas, particularly the economy. The costs of a mismatch are felt at the societal level, but especially by individual graduates. This article describes problems faced by professionals in one country that has experienced very rapid expansion of higher education in a highly privatised market economy. While not uniformly g…
Segmentation in higher education in Chile
Fifty years ago, the expansion of access to higher education was expected to result in greater socio‐economic equality. Instead, segmentation in mass higher education systems has called into question the effective democratization of access to higher education.

Did free tuition change the choices of students applying for university admission
The impact of non-cognitive factors on admission to selective universities
Some universities, often the most prestigious in a higher education system, select qualified applicants solely on the basis of their measured academic or cognitive abilities. The universities’ assumption is that these cognitive abilities are an accurate and complete measure of the applicants’ capacity to benefit from university study. This study assesses the extent to which the cognitive measures used are partially the result of other, non-cognit…

The relationship between class-based habitus and choice of university and field of study
Enrollments in higher education have expanded greatly, but without elimination of all forms of inequality. Research in industrialized countries has shown that the path students follow in their transition from secondary school continues to be associated with their social class. This study provides quantitative evidence of that relationship in a non-industrial country like Chile. Multinomial logistic and linear regression of university admission da…

The objective of this study was to assess the extent to which Chilean university graduates’ satisfaction with their professional training is associated wit…

Attempts at Neoliberal Urban Planning in Postearthquake Chile
Urban and regional reconstruction after the February 27, 2010, earthquake and tsunami in Chile was organized by master plans at the local level.
