Finance(1975-1993)toexamine how postsecondary education participation rates have evolvedover time and how certain variables may affect them.A number of socio-economic influences are shown to affect participation rates.Beyondthese,particularly pronounced trend increases in postsecondary educationattendance for children from low-income households have led to a con-vergence in the participation rates of children from different incomegroups and a consequent reduction in the regressivity associated withsubsidies for postsecondary education.We consider possible reasons forthis convergence.Conditioning on a number of other variables,we areparticularly interested in the possibility that increases in family realincome may have affected the demand for postsecondary education by  \nchildren from low-income families more than the demand by childrenfrom high-income households.We find that,although income does have astatistically significant non-linear influence which can explain much ofthe cross-sectional difference in attendance at postsecondary institutions,its quantitative effects are not sufficiently strong to account for the con-vergence over time in participation by children from different familyincome groups.  \n## RÉSUMÉ\n\nAvec les informations fournies par les Sondages des finances desconsommateurs(1975-1993),on y examine de quelle facon les taux defréquentation ont évolué au fil des années dans les établissementsd'enseignement postsecondaire et de quelle facon certaines variablespourraient les affecter.Il est démontré que plusieurs influences socio-économiques ont affecté les taux de fréquentation dans lesétablissements d'enseignement postsecondaire.En plus,une tendancemarquée à l'augmentation de I'inscription des enfants de familles àfaible revenu a mené à une convergence dans les taux de frequentationdes enfants provenant de divers milieux économiques et ainsi une baissede la régression associée aux subventions pour I'éducationpostsecondaire.On y considère les raisons possibles pour cetteconvergence.Prenant en considération plusieurs variables,on s'intéresseparticulierement à la possibilité que les augmentations réelles dans lesrevenus familiaux auraient pu affecter la demande d'éducationpostsecondaire pour les enfants de familles à faible revenu davantageque pour ceux de familles à revenu élevé.On démontre que,meme si leniveau de revenu exerce une influence non-lineaire statistiquementsignificative qui peut expliquer en grande partie la différence dans lafréquentation des établissements d'enseignement postsecondaire,leseffets quantitatifs ne sont pas suffisamment importants pour expliquer laconvergence,au fil des années,des taux de frequentation dans lesétablissements d'enseignement postsecondaire des enfants de diversmilieux économiques.                    \n## INTRODUCTION\n\nAccessibility to postsecondary education is an important social issueon both efficiency and equity grounds.The existence of social and/oreconomic barriers which impede children from lower income familiesfrom obtaining a postsecondary education limits their potentialproductivity and earnings capabilities,hence limiting growth in theeconomy,and also raises concerns about equality of opportunity andsocial mobility.Since postsecondary education is heavily subsidizedfrom tax revenues,higher attendance rates from higher income familieswill have the effect of diminishing the degree of progressivity in theincome tax system and possibly even making postsecondary educationfinancing regressive.Highly educated individuals,who are dispropor-tionately represented from high income families,receive larger amountsof subsidized education than those who do not directly partake in its ben-efits but who also contribute to the funding of education.The result isthat these government subsidi","cbCaiqeFWnMT2xIW","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqeFWnMT2xIW","pdf",1045484,32,"English","# Abstract\n# Résumé\n#
