Abstract

  Applying Mare model, educational transitions researches indicate that the effect of social origins declines with successive transitions. This article examines whether this gradual decrease phenomenon has been observed in Japanese educational attainment process, using SSM survey data, and demonstrates the link between the trends in educational attainment process and educational expansion. Main results are as follows: 1. Gradual decrease phenomenon has only been seen during pre-war period. 2. According to the mass entry to secondary education, inequality in secondary education had been decreased during pre-war period, although previous research deduced such decrease might occur in response to post-war educational expansion. 3. These results suggest that the odds-ratios for a rare transition increase because of the preemption of rare goods by upper classes. 4. Although MMI hypothesis insists that saturation of a given level of education for the upper classes may cause the decrease the odds-ratios, it was not always true in the case of Japanese educational opportunity.
