In the 1960s, Swiss education experts identified three significant groups of young individuals facing disadvantages in accessing higher education: women, rural youth, and those with parents from lower social classes. Since then, federal and cantonal policies have successfully addressed equality for women and rural youth; however, young individuals from lower social classes continue to experience persistent disadvantages. This case study on social selectivity examines the policy process and analyzes the reasons for the different policy outcomes of these three groups
