The Growth of the Canadian EducationSystem:An Analysis of TransitionProbabilities\n\nPETER C.PINEO*and JOHN GOYDER十  \n## ABSTRACT\n\nCanada is shown,in a comparison with 23 other industrialized nations,to havedistinctively low rates of school attendance from age seventeen onwards.Closelycomparable data from a Canadian and an American national survey make adetailed comparison of the two nations possible.There has been a strong trendtowards virtually universal completion of grade and high school in the U.S.Canada has followed this trend at the lower levels,but retains a low rate ofsecondary school completion.Rates of attending post-secondary and post-graduate training show little trend in either country.The “transition probability”analysis,in which each level of schooling is examined separately,is furtherpursued in an assessment of the effects of social background factors,called\"ascription,\"upon progress through the system.Backgroundfactors arefound tohave generally weaker effects upon higher levels ofeducationin Canada,as in theU.S.They are especially weak at the crucial point,the completion of high school,showing that social background is not a significant element in the creation ofCanada's high rates of dropping out of high school.The overall effects of back-ground seem higher in Canada,and especially so for females.  \n## RÉSUMÉ\n\nSiI'on compare le

qu'à un niveau inférieur,le nombre d'élèves capables d'allerjusqu'au bout de leurs études secondaires restant tres faible.Quant àl'inscriptiondans des établissements postsecondaires ou dans des centres professionnels,ellene semble indiquer aucune tendance particuliere dans les deux pays.L'analyse de《transition-probabilité》,pour laquelle onaconsidéré chaque niveau d'enseigne-ment séparément,est complétée ici par une évaluation des effets du milieu social,ou《ascription》,sur la progression dans le système.Les facteurs sociauxsemblent avoir des effets moindres dans les classes les plus élevées de I'écolesecondaire,au Canada comme aux Etats-Unis.Or,s'ils sont particulierementfaibles àce moment crucial,enfind'études secondaires,cela montre que le milieusocial n'est pas

Etats-Unis,surtout pour lesfemmes.  \n## INTRODUCTION\n\nA striking difference between Canadian and American society is the comparativelylow level of schooling in the former.Canadian under-education preoccupied bothJohn Porter,in The Vertical Mosaic(1965:53-4),and S.M.Lipset's widely notedcomparison of the english-speaking democracies(1963:261).One explanationwould be that ours in a highly ascriptive society.“Ascription”in sociologicalstudies of education refers to the extent to which social background traits such associoeconomic status or ethnicity determine the level,or years,of education aperson attains.That ascription in post-secondary educational attainment wasespecially high in Canada
