Abstract

The paper attempts to investigate the origin of inequality in educational participation across Indian social groups in terms of inequality in the expected monetary educational returns and other demand-side factors responsible behind educational decision. We employ the binary logit model of regression for the accomplishment of the objective of this study. In addition, we decompose the discrepancy in educational participation into ‘response effect’ and ‘attribute effect’ to examine whether there is any discrimination in educational participation against the members of the disadvantaged social groups.
