In Italy, academic achievement and university enrollment are strongly influenced by socioeconomic status (ESCS). However, despite these disadvantages, a subset of Low ESCS students demonstrates academic resilience by attaining high academic perfor￾mance and continuing their education. This study explores the factors contributing to such resilience, with a focus on regional and school-type influences, through a multinomial modelling approach that jointly considers high school performance and university enrollment decisions.

Abstract

In Italy, academic achievement and university enrollment are strongly influenced by socioeconomic status (ESCS). However, despite these disadvantages, a subset of Low ESCS students demonstrates academic resilience by attaining high academic perfor￾mance and continuing their education. This study explores the factors contributing to such resilience, with a focus on regional and school-type influences, through a multinomial modelling approach that jointly considers high school performance and university enrollment decisions.
