Abstract
This analytical study is the outcome of the first stage of the activity ?Inequality and Access to Tertiary Education in the Czech Republic and Other European Countries? carried out by the Education Policy Centre of the Faculty of Education, Charles University in Prague. The aim of the first stage has been to find out whether, to what extent and how it is possible to use databases of the first two rounds of the European Social Survey for examining and analysing the development of inequities in access to tertiary education in some European countries (including the Czech Republic), and for elaborating and interpreting indices and models of intergeneration transmission of inequities.
The working paper has been prepared also in order to be used in the OECD Thematic Review of Tertiary Education. This is why particularly the European countries participating in it have been included in the annex.
