Educational Model and Expansion of Enrollments in Sub-Saharan Africa
This article relies on the concept of educational model to explain why African countries that were colonized by Britain and France experienced significantly different forms of educational expansion after independence. The authors argue that both models represented legitimate variants of world institutional processes that drove the expansion of mass education in the sub-Saharan region. Each model defined the nature of the relationship between the …
Nation Building and School Expansion under the Fragile French State
How efficacious are central political actors in building local institutions that help to rationalize the nation-state? In an earlier article, we showed that policies emanating from the Parisian state fueled construction of French secondary schools, spurred local demand for education, and reinforced class distinctions following the Third Republic (1870). Primary school enrollments, however, rose long before the fragile central state gained promine…

Class, Gender, and School Expansion in France: A Four-Systems Comparison
Most European educational systems have traditionally been segregated on class and gender lines. This article explores whether educational-expansion models that emphasize material incentives and institutionalized values (as sources of demand) had different effects on the expansion of four secondary school systems in France from 1881 to 1975. Class was more important than gender in determining expansion because state policies emphasized class more …
State Action and Labor Structure Change in Mexico
Third World “development” often is characterized by rapid growth in trade and service jobs, not in manufacturing employment. Prior explanations emphasize materialist conceptions: a widening division of (white-collar) labor is required to match technological complexity. Or the central state pushes investment of capital-intensive industry, and resulting urban immigration outpaces growth in labor demand. This article focuses on how the central state…
The Strong State, Social Class, and Controlled School Expansion in France, 1881-1975
Current theories argue that school expansion reflects demands that stem from changes in the occupational structure, from a ideological commitment to building an integrated nation-state, or from the processes of modernization. However, these theories have not been tested relative to different social classes. Since most of the evidence has accumulated in the United States, where demand is usually met by supply, the possibility that demand might not…
The Active State, Investment in Human Capital, and Economic Growth: France 1825-1975
Human capital theory postulates that school expansion should foster economic growth, but credentialing theory questions such a relationship. We hypothesize that some conditions must obtain before educational expansion can have an affect on economic growth. First, the curriculum must be standardized and a large proportion of the age cohort beyond grade six must be enrolled for a sufficient period of time. Second, education and the economy must be …
Scaling via Models for the Analysis of Association: Social Background and Educational Careers in France
Recent developments in the analysis of ordered, cross-classified data are used to model the relationship between family background ( father 's occupation) and educational career for a sample of French men and women born in the 1920s and 1930s and working as of 1970. By extending the definition of educational attainment to the notion of an educational career, we are able to capture aspects of several dimensions of
La Fabrication de l'Excellence Scolaire
Association between Background and Educational Attainment in France
Models for the analysis of association (ANOAS) are applied to cross-classifications of highest degree obtained by father's occupation among a sample of French men and women born between 1920 and 1949. These models allow us to establish the relative orderings of backgrounds with respect to degree outcomes, and degree outcomes with respect to background. Tests for homogeneity in multiway tables are used to assess trends in the association of these …

Class Reproduction Among Men and Women in France: Reproduction Theory on Its Home Ground
Through an analysis of a large survey of employment men and women in France, this article shows that French reproduction theory has overstated the role of education in reproducing class advantage from generation to generation. Among men, reproduction of control over labor power (i.e., managerial/supervisory positions) is primarily direct instead of indirect through education. At the same time, education plays no role in reproducing ownership of b…
The Evolution of Equality of Educational Opportunities in France
Throughout the twentieth century, all industrialized countries have experienced an increase in their populations' mean educational attainments. Researchers have wondered whether this increase in availability of education was associated with increased equality of educational opportunities. Some see a temporal trend toward equality while others see no change. After reviewing the evidence for several countries, we present data on the French populati…

Occupational Mobility in Industrial Societies: A Comparative Analysis of Differential Access to Occupational Ranks in Seventeen Countries
Using a set of national-sample data on occupational status change in a cross-section of 17 countries, we examined the hypothesized relationship between level of industrialization (measured by per capita energy consumption) and the circulatory rate of occupational mobility (defined in terms of the nonmanual-manual-farm classification). Results of the analysis indicated that cross-sectional variations in the rate of circulatory mobility per se were…

Father-to-Son Occupational Mobility in France: Evidence from the 1960s
This paper reports some preliminary reanalyses of data on father-to-son occupational status change among French males born in 1918 and after who were economically active in 1959 and 1964. The data are from a large-scale national survey conducted by INSEE in 1964. The data indicate a substantial amount of vertical mobility for the period in question, contrary to previous suggestions that French occupational stratification is relatively "closed" or…
Some Implications of the British Experience with an All-Volunteer Army
Power and Ideological Conformity: A Case Study
Most studies of professional socialization have traditionally focused on the resistance by those being socialized to the staff's goals. This paper presents data which suggest that conformity to the staff's goals is also achieved. The issues (central professional values) in which conformity is achieved are specified, and the mechanism through which the staff reaches its goals is outlined. Data for this paper were gathered in a British military aca…
