Abstract

The explanation of social inequalities in education has often been explained by dierences in aspiration levels between individuals from different social origins. Boudon [1973] has suggested that these aspirational differences between the rich and the poor are a result of differing perceptions of success, such that individuals compare their success at school to the success of their parents. This paper utilises Prospect Theory (Kahneman and Tversky [1979]) to provide a theoretical foundation to this thesis.
