(England & Hungary) Unequal Outcomes: The return to a higher ed degree for First-in-Family students
In this episode we are joined by Dr. Anna Adamecz and Dr. Nikki Shure to discuss using first-and-family as an indicator of widening higher education participation and the labor market outcomes of first-and-family students. We look specifically at the cases of England in the United Kingdom and Hungary. Both of our guests hold positions at the University College of London Social Research Institute, where Dr. Adamecz is a research associate and Dr. Shure is an associate professor, where they collaborate on this research. In addition to her role at UCL’s institute, Dr. Adamecz is a Research Associate at the Institute of Economics Centre for Economic and Regional Studies (KRTK KTI).
