Education and Social Stratification in South Korea

South Korea is noted for the hard-fought competition in university admission exams, which are widely believed to determine one-s prospects and shape their takers- entire lives. In this book, Shin Arita validates this belief with vast amounts of sociological data. He traces the mechanisms that show the test-s role in the formation of social strata.
