| Descripción: | The decision to attend university is influenced by a large set of factors, ranging from economic considerations that affect affordability to family characteristics such as parental education levels. We examine the relationship between university participation and various economic and non-economic variables over the past twenty-five years in Canada. We quantify the importance of the various factors in the data sets available to us in order to understand trends in university participation and, in particular, to take account of the increasingly greater propensity of young women than men to attend university. Toute une gamme de nombreux facteurs infl uencent la décision de suivre des cours à l’université ; des facteurs allant des considérations économiques impactant la capacité fi nancière jusqu’aux caractéristiques familiales telle que le niveau de scolarité des parents. Nous avons examiné la relation existant entre la participation à l’université et plusieurs variables économiques et non économiques sur une période des dernières 25 années au Canada. Nous avons quantifi é l’importance de plusieurs facteurs trouvés dans les bases de données nous étant disponibles. Nous voulions comprendre les tendances portant sur la participation à l’université, et en particulier la tendance récente démontrant qu’un plus grand nombre de jeunes femmes que d’hommes choisissent de suivre des cours universitaires. |
