Abstract

In many countries, students must pay tuition fees to pursue university studies. Some analyses of the parallel evolution of access to university and tuition fees have shown that such fees do not affect access, thus legitimizing the choice of raising them. In this article, we revisit these analyses while taking some methodological precautions often ignored by similar research. Specifically, we conducted longitudinal and historical analyses for Quebec and Ontario. We find a negative effect of tuition fees on access to university. This negative effect is stronger for those whose parents have less education, for Francophones in both provinces and for older students.
