The literature on social stratification has paid considerable attention to whether and to what extent attending prestigious universities is beneficial for graduates’ labor market returns. This paper contributes to the literature by applying a more dynamic perspective in asking whether graduates from prestigious and less prestigious universities differ in their career progression across fourteen years since labor market entry. It further investigates whether graduating from prestigious universities pays off more or less for graduates from different educational backgrounds. While the positive selection hypothesis suggests that students most likely to attend prestigious universities will benefit the most, the negative selection hypothesis suggests the opposite. Using multilevel growth curve modeling and the 1970 British Cohort Study (N = 939), the findings show no discernible differences in occupational prestige between graduates from diverse universities. If at all, there is a small Russell Group premium restricted to the early working career. This early Russell Group premium is mainly found among first-generation graduates providing evidence for the negative selection hypothesis.

谁能从精英大学中受益?家庭背景和毕业生的职业轨迹

关于社会分层的文献已经相当关注了进入名牌大学是否以及在多大程度上有利于毕业生的劳动力市场回报。本文通过运用更具活力的观点来询问有声望的大学和声望较弱的大学的毕业生自进入劳动力市场以来的十四年间的职业发展是否有所不同,从而为文献做出了贡献。它进一步调查了从著名大学毕业是否能为不同教育背景的毕业生带来更多或更少的回报。正选择假设表明最有可能进入著名大学的学生将受益最大,而负选择假设则相反。使用多级增长曲线建模和1970年英国队列研究(N = 939),研究结果表明,不同大学毕业生之间的职业声望没有明显差异。如果有的话,罗素集团的保费只限于早期的职业生涯。罗素集团(Russell Group)的早期溢价主要出现在第一代毕业生中,为否定选择假设提供了证据。
