“…While it would be desirable to construct SES based on individual‐level measures, these are not available in the NPD. The approach taken, of combining area‐based measures with the one individual‐level measure available (FSM eligibility) to construct an SES measure from the NPD is considered the best proxy available (Jerrim, 2020).…”

Many countries have introduced flexibility in their admissions equivalents for tertiary education, allowing students to apply with vocational rather than academic qualifications at upper secondary level. However, entrants with vocational qualifications are generally less likely to succeed at university. Students from disadvantaged backgrounds are also, on average, less likely to succeed: they are more likely to drop out, or graduate with a lower class degree, even when they have the same prior attainment scores and take the same university course. Rich individual‐level data in England drawn from administrative records allow us to link outcomes at university with social background and attainment and qualification routes at school, going back to lower secondary level, before academic and vocational pathways diverge. We can thus use the English example to explore whether the relative lack of success of students from low socioeconomic status (SES) backgrounds is in part because they are more likely to enter university with non‐traditional qualifications that offer less effective preparation for study. Our results reveal a significant penalty associated with entering university with these vocational qualifications. Controlling for qualification type reduces the SES gradient in dropping out of university by 42%, and graduation with a lower class degree by 28%, although significant SES gradients in success still remain. There is a tension between allowing students from lower SES backgrounds to use vocational routes to enter university and these persistent gaps in university outcomes. Countries using both vocational and academic routes as pathways to university should be aware of this potential conflict.

“…The early years are acknowledged as crucial for children's outcomes; the poorest of whom will start school already 11 months behind their more affluent peers. Attendance at high quality early years provision offers a vital opportunity to narrow a gap that will only widen as the school years advance [1]. Education for children in their early years provides significant benefits in determining life chances and increasing social mobility.…”

This chapter explores the work of London Early Years Foundation, the largest childcare social enterprise in the UK and how it is led with its social purpose at the heart. It recounts the rationale for developing the model which is framed within the three pillars of sustainability the first of which ensure nursery places are provided to children from disadvantaged background using a cross-subsidy fee business model. The importance of a social pedagogy is highlighted to ensure the organisation delivers its social purpose at every level of delivery and do so to build cultural and social capital.

Background: Socio-demographic disparities in traditional breast cancer treatment receipt in non-publicly funded healthcare systems are well documented. This study investigated trastuzumab receipt by socio-demographic factors within a female, HER2+ breast cancer population in England’s publicly funded National Health Service. Methods: The English national population-based cancer registry and linked Systemic Anti-Cancer Therapy (SACT) database identified 36,985 women with HER2+ invasive breast cancer diagnosed 01/01/2012–31/12/2017. Multivariable logistic regression determined likelihood of trastuzumab receipt in (i) early and (ii) metastatic disease by deprivation category of area of residence and other socio-demographic characteristics. Results: Early-stage trastuzumab receipt followed a socio-economic gradient. Women residing in the most deprived areas were 10% less likely to receive trastuzumab (multivariable OR 0.90, (95% CI) 0.83, 0.98) compared to women residing in the least deprived areas. In both early and metastatic disease, trastuzumab receipt was less likely in older women with more comorbidities, ER positive disease, and who were not discussed at a multidisciplinary team meeting. Conclusions: Despite provision of free at the point of delivery care in England, socio-demographic disparities in early-stage HER2+ trastuzumab receipt occur. Further research determining how inequities contribute to disparities in outcomes is warranted to ensure optimized trastuzumab use for all. Impact: Fair access to novel cancer treatments regardless of place of residence, socio-demographic characteristics, and/or cancer stage requires prioritization in future cancer improvement policies.
